Here we have a send-up of mob movies in the finest Airplane! tradition. Unlike its airport-oriented predecessor, however, this film depends heavily on the assumption that you’ve seen the Godfather pictures and the handful of other mobster movies being lampooned. I’ve seen most if not all of them, so I got the jokes; but if you’re not a fan of the genre, a lot of this movie may go right past you. Like most of the other films in this sub-genre, it has a few moments. But it helps a lot if you watch this one after a long work week, because being too tired to think critically will help you gain a deeper appreciation of the sophomoric humor. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
