Dave L Very entertaining and enjoyable Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Michael H I’ve seen professional critics lambast this for its use of mafia movie tropes, and claim it as unoriginal in that regard. This is to completely miss the point of this movie. Every cliche is completely self aware. Every mafia cartoon character is so gloriously overstated, the overbearing Jewish father, the mildly corrupt FBI, it’s all a feast of overt obviousness. The real power of the film, is the deft comic hand of director, Harold Ramis, and the precision with which he wields it. He maintains the silliness perfectly, the comic level and timing of the film is kept in check right throughout. The actual serious moments, still played with a hackneyed flair by the supremely talented two leads, is used as a surgically placed delicacy throughout. The perfectly replicated homage scenes to Godfather, were a perfectly produced nod to the nostalgia that was woven through this movie. They’re not cliches, they’re lovingly restored moments that show the nostalgia and love for the genre of these filmmakers and the cast. This is a comedy, and the comedy in it is always good and at times, elevated to greatness. If you haven’t seen it, or haven’t seen it in a while. Find it and watch it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Audience Member another film by the late Harold Ramis focusing on the psychology of a gangster as well as his psychiatrist a fine cast made up of Robert DiNiro, Billy Crystal, Lisa Kudrow, and Molly Shannon Paul Vitti is part of the mafia yet he has an anxiety attack and seeks out professional help in comes Dr. Ben Sobel who specializes in analyzing people's troubles and usually solving them with Vitti though it's a special case because it's against his judgment and considering how many mob ties he has Sobel is about to get married and Vitti isn't making things easy laying his issues on the table to be heard it also doesnt help that Sobel is recruited by the feds to gain intel on Vitti's operations with the possibility of getting caught although he may be his best chance at conquering some past demons and insecurities this is actually a funny mixture of gangster-crime and buddy comedy DiNiro and Crystal are enjoyable peas in a pod, mostly this is DiNiro reliving his Goodfella/Godfather days even a gangster has emotional and personal issues to work out it's all good fun with some shootouts and laughs mixed in Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Leaburn O Easy light hearted, not laugh out loud but not too wet. The Sopranos setup given a tidy comedic twist with two good performances from De Niro and Crystal. Watched on DVD which I found for £1.
