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.

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.

After failing to fix up his New York City home, he was sentenced to live in his own apartment in the slums. If he doesn't make amends within 120 days, he will go to jail. As he encounters the dilapidated conditions in which his tenants live, from giant rats to cold nights, he begins to change his mind. But avoiding prison means convincing the real owner of the building, his money-grubbing father, to invest in renovations. The director also said that such an idea can be seen from another side
