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.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 4/5 Mar 4, 2004 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Aug 17, 1990 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) A well delivered and comedic story. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media 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. Rated: 3/5 Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film 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. Jun 2, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Mark M This movie had some good jokes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Ed S just the right amount of silliness and light hearted humor. Forget about life for 90 minutes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review babarizam D 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Jeremy S 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Jason S "My Blue Heaven," is my favorite Steve Martin character-driven comedy. He plays a mobster under witness protection, played with an over abundance of his famous charisma. Throughout the movie, he is incredibly committed to his criminal ways, but somehow picks up some life lessons and perspectives. It's fun to watch his character and Rick Moranis's character slowly shift from their extremes to meet in the middle, showcasing the best of both. The casting is spot-on and fun. Each actor brings their best to this seemingly silly story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Umb O I think it's funny that somehow the internet has this sitting at 71% or even 50% for the audience. It was known pre-internet as one of the worst movies ever made. Unwatchable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
