    Jim Abrahams's Mafia spoof is in the same vein as his earlier hits Airplane! and The Naked Gun, with sadly similar jokes. That it works at all is only due to convincing performances from Olympia Dukakis, Jay Mohr, Christina Applegate and the sorely missed Lloyd Bridges, who plays a Don Corleone figure training his son (Mohr) to take over the family business. However, there comes a time when he's disposable, so fellow hoods send a temptress to woo Mohr away from his family and girlfriend (Applegate). You might say it's time someone sent up The Godfather; you won't after seeing this.

    • Radio Times
  • A tired send-up of The Godfather trilogy and similar gangster movies; a few jokes might have helped.

    Loved this film! Really funny, all the way through. The whole family were chuckling away, but the tears were running down my face.

    The sort of film we will want to rent again!

    Awful-fellas

    This is possibly the worst spoof I have ever seen in my life.

    Normally these films have a 50/50 hit or miss gag rate, but this film had so few jokes anyway I gave up watching after 20 minutes.

    The film was too reliant on pratfalls to raise weak laughs and made the mistake of only spoofing one film - The Godfather - which left it running out of material.

    The only funny gag was a Jaws spoof which lasted 30 seconds, and that was it.

    Avoid.
