Mafia! on DVD (1998)
RelatedCritics Reviews
Radio Times
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. Halliwell's Film Guide A tired send-up of The Godfather trilogy and similar gangster movies; a few jokes might have helped. New York Times "...Breezy....Bright..."
