Mafia Mamma

I do not know why people are saying they wanted to get out of the cinema or rate it 1/10. Well I guess there a different people have different taste.

Sure it is not an exceptional movie. For me it was entertaining.

I had fun watching it, and I guess that is what a movie is about.

The cast is nice and the story, well, I probably can name thousands of movies who are predictable. There are so few movies which give something extra, and this is not one of them.

In a way it shows that all people have a limit before they turn to their dark side. Maybe that is a message you get out of here, together with the fact that all "horrible" people also have a good side.

This film punches above it's weight. We have the talented Toni Collette and the skilled and beautiful Monica Bellucci. You just have to keep in mind that it's a farcical comedy-drama. Yes, the plot is unrealistic; but, then, it's supposed to be! Once you get past that and see the talented acting and very fine writing, sit back and enjoy a movie that never lags in entertaining you and holding your interest. Deceptively engaging with a fine supporting cast. The way in which a comedy of errors results in success for the lead is awfully amusing and this was a surprisingly delicious picture. Enjoy!

Monica Bellucci and Toni Collette are absolutely delightful in Mafia Mamma. When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew it was going to be a fun ride and definitely did not disappoint. There was a couple of flat moments, but the rest was jam packed action and tidbits of gore.

It's probably not a film I would bother watching again though. It is like a once off enjoyable flick, but nothing I would put on my DVD shelf and turn to for a laugh.

If you want a fun film, like some action and comedy. Then it is well worth checking out. Like I said the two leading ladies performances definitely make it worthwhile.

This movie is meant to be tongue in cheek satire of the mafia genre and reading most of the reviews here it seems like most people missed that fact completely. I see reviews complaining about it being too violent or gory and not funny. I found this to be very funny however, it plays on the standard typical mafia stereotypes while also offering new jokes and I found myself laughing many times throughout the film. Yes there is violence in this movie and many shoot outs, but it is a movie about the mafia and you probably shouldn't be watching this movie if you are offended by that. This is a fun satire of the mafia genre and is worth giving a chance if you are a fan of those types of films.

I'm usually pretty good at sitting through bad films, but this one was difficult to watch. Every single joke falls flat and the main character starts to become psychotic by the end. Nobody can relate to Toni Collette's character at all. The movie clearly pushes an agenda on it audience. Every character has their time with "the idiot ball" (when a character does dumb things for no reason). This movie did the one thing I didn't think was possible, it became the literal worst movie I have ever seen. The only thing that the writers of this film should be writing from now on, is names on Starbucks coffee cups.
