Vinnie Antonelli (Steve Martin) trades the mob for the witness protection program and moves to a small suburb in California. But for Vinnie, old ways die hard. He becomes a challenge for Barney Coopersmith (Rick Moranis), the FBI agent in charge of making sure Vinnie keeps a low profile before he can testify against his former mob associates. Barney, though, might actually be able to learn some things from Vinnie. That is, if Barney can keep him alive long enough.

A well delivered and comedic story. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media 07/28/2022
3/5
A broad and fast-paced comedy, this 1990 movie leans heavily on gangster comedy cliches but encourages its cast and audience to have some fun with them. Go to Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film 06/02/2022
Pure joy. Just a lovely film that flips gangster tropes on their head and proves even a wise guy can still be a nice guy. Bill Irwin’s big dancing number nearly made me leap from my seat and applaud. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 10/11/2021
2.5/4
A frequently blasé script is elevated by the winning performances of the three stars. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com 08/22/2010

It's hideously unfunny, falling well beneath the capabilities of everyone involved...Ross isn't building a comedy here, he's trying to survive one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Peter W Aug 17 A story about character change…I get it. But what was I supposed to laugh at? Who is meant to be funny? Steve Martin? His caricature of a mobster would have worked in a three-minute SNL sketch, but for 1.5 hours? It was desperately boring. Moranis was a straight man. Cusack played her usual uptight character (School of Rock). Who was funny? And why am I watching 25 dance numbers or whatever? What a mess. See more Eric S @eslyter Jul 6 I love Steve Martin and Rick Moranis, but this movie did everyone involved an injustice, despite being written by Nora Ephron with production by her, Goldie Hawn, and Andrew Stone. The worst thing about it was probably Steve Martin's forced New York accent while playing a character that didn't fit him. He was so bad for the role, though it pains me to say it. Even had another actor played his part, I don't think I would have enjoyed this movie any more than I did. The script is corny, boring, and not funny. Pass on this one if you haven't seen it. See more Mark M 08/28/2024 This movie had some good jokes. See more Ed S 06/08/2024 just the right amount of silliness and light hearted humor. Forget about life for 90 minutes. See more babarizam D 05/21/2024 I have never been a fan of Steve Martin. I lost interest in this movie so much that i finished in 20 minutes. I think watching this after My cousin Vinny was a wrong idea. See more Jeremy S 01/03/2024 All time classic Steve Martin. So many quotable lines. Just a light-hearted funny good time. Anyone who gives this less than 4 stars needs their head examines and probably leaves their dry-cleaned slacks wadded up on the floor. See more Read all reviews
