For failing to fix his New York City tenement, slumlord Louie Kritski (Joe Pesci) is sentenced to live in one of his units. If repairs aren't completed in 120 days, he'll go to jail. As Louie confronts the decrepit conditions in which his tenants live -- from giant rats to nights without heat -- he begins to have a change of heart. But avoiding jail time will mean convincing his money-grubbing father, the building's true owner, to invest money for repairs.

What's finally depressing about The Super is that it doesn't have the nerve to be any one thing. It wants to be crude and rude, but it ends with sentiment. It wants to be about whites and blacks, but is incurious about the lives of its black characters.

I always like these kinds of stories in movies. Joe Pesci is like the perfect guy for this, it’s a somewhat funny film that is good for when you’re bored and not much else. 2.5/5 stars.

Jie Pesci pulls off a sleazy slumlord almost as well as an Italain gangster. You can't go wrong with this early 90's comedy-gold! Not as big a classic as 'My Cousin Vinny' but it is just as hilarious!

In my opinion, I felt that the movie was very good, behind all this, the filmmaker was able to come up with the right festive details to congratulate the members of the behind-the-scenes team.
