This hapless comedy may actually work a lot better on video than it did in theaters. A parody of contemporary mob movies (with a few sidebars skewering such hits as Forrest Gump and The English Patient), Mafia! most closely resembles the first two Godfather films in its generational saga of a gangster family. Lloyd Bridges plays Don Cortino, a native Sicilian who presides over a crime syndicate, and Jay Mohr plays his Michael Corleone-like son. The film is by Jim Abrahams, formerly of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker directing team (Airplane!, The Naked Gun), single- handedly trotting out the old dumb-joke aesthetic that worked wonderfully a lifetime ago but looks a little creaky in the era of There's Something About Mary. Silly allusions to every crime film (GoodFellas, Casino) produced in the last three decades and featuring at least one wise guy or made man find their way into Mafia!'s gags, but most are arbitrary and shrugged off. The film tanked in theaters for good reason; on the other hand, Mafia! might have a lot more to offer if you're slumped on your own couch at the end of a long day, ready for brain-dead entertainment and absolutely apathetic about comic integrity. Even a film this instantly stale on the big screen might have its place in video posterity. -- Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Mafia!

If you have a sense of humor...
This movie is one of the most funny movies I have ever seen. I really depends on what kind of sense of humor you have. It is especially funny for a kid, but has some stuff an adult would know about to get some jokes.

It is a spoof on mob movies, and some others, like Forrest Gump. It doesn't really need lots of explaining, just watch it for laughs!

You would probably like this movie if you liked stuff like Naked Gun, or Hot Shots.


Hilarious, yet offensive....oh well!
I watched this movie with my friend and it was so funny! Laugh-out-loud funny gags and spoofs. In this movie they spoofed alot of different movies: The Godfather movies, Scarface, Twister, The English Patient, Forrest Gump(run, florist, run!), they spoof even more, including Riverdance. The best part is the Child's Play/Lost World Jurassic Park spoof. A little boy named Chucky(he's dressed like the Chucky doll) is running through the forest. He falls over a log, and the compy dinosaurs(the small ones), jump over the log and attack him(his clothes fly over the log). The plot is well, confusing. But if you see it, you should get it(unlike me!). But, be warned, this isn't for kids! This has alot of stuff that's offensive, plus stuff they wouldn't get(like people sniffing drugs). Overall, it's a funny laugh-out-loud movie that spoofs the mafia. Throw in some top-notch actors, and you got one movie that's worth watching on a Friday night!


Who Keeps Greenlighting These "Hot Shots"-Like Spoofs!
The big question on my mind is what idiot keeps greenlighting these spoofs that are trying to immitate "Hot Shots!" This was probably one of the worst movies that I've ever seen. Jay Mohr keeps trying to build up an acting career, when in fact his comedy makes you want to laugh at how funny your wall is. I mean, come on! This movie was so stupid and overly dumb that I WANTED TO GO READ A BOOK FOR A WHILE! The funny thing about it is that I laughed through "Mafia" about as much as I did through "The Godfather". IT WAS THAT BAD! I don't even think I finished it because I didn't want my idea of a spoof to turn into fart jokes and terrible Marlon Brando impressions.
