Suffice to say that if you have a penchant for the childish humour of Jim Abrahams and Lloyd Bridges (or Leslie Nielsen), this film will tick the right boxes. Plenty of send-ups of Godfather-genre movies and other assorted 90s movies, mixed with daft nonsense and slapstick. It's one of the better comedies of its ilk; just don't expect any depth or maturity.

Abrahams tries too hard to make this Godfather-meets-Casino work -- some scenes are good, others totally suck --, but his failures are there to be noticed since the beginning: without the Zucker brothers on his side, he has problems with the storytelling and most of the gags are unoriginal -- they just make fun of other films, and that's it. Bridges, doing his last film with the ZAZ team -- or at least with just the A team --, shines.

A bunch of stupidity with only a dash actual funny things is the recipe for this movie.

Another silly Abrahams movie that doesn't get close to matching the one that spawned them all. Bridges is the highlight.

Now this, this was funny. Clever, incessant, silly, & loaded with sight gags. Has the advantage of being a paradox so if you've seen a gaggle of mob movies the gags play even better. Love the literary title.

Considering how easy it is to work with spoofing mafia films, it is staggering to see a failure of this caliber. There were maybe one or two actually funny gags, but the rest just relies too heavily on that awful, awful formula where random = automatic funny.
