Brief synopsis of Mickey Blue Eyes

Fish-out-of-water comedy tailor-made to the relaxed British mannerisms of star Grant. He stars as Michael Felgate, a dapper art auctioneer, whose romance with a school teacher entangles him in the workings of her mob family. While her father (Caan) accepts Michael wholeheartedly, a misunderstanding results in Michael having to pose as a mafioso himself- resulting in culture-clash laughs...

Critics Reviews

Radio Times

Made by Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant's production company Simian Films this was a commercial success for the pair (now parted). Grant is sublimely ridiculous as an English auctioneer in New York, who learns that marrying sweetheart Jeanne Tripplehorn means getting spliced to the Mob. Tripplehorn's father, James Caan, is the local don and Grant quickly finds himself up to his neck in linguini as he fakes the identity of out-of-town mobster “Mickey Blue Eyes”. This is gently entertaining and a sure-fire crowd pleaser.

Rating of 1
stars out of 4 Halliwell's Film Guide

Intermittently amusing comedy of a clash between two cultures, though the mechanical contrivances of farce take over from the intended romantic comedy, and Grant's act as a floppy-haired bumbler is wearing a little thin.

"...MICKEY BLUE EYES accelerates into a frenzied farce..."
