Mafia Mamma

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.

This movie was a blast from start to finish, and Toni Collette stole every scene she was in.

I honestly think that most of these reviews are written by bots, because people take these things too seriously. Honestly, the movie is a solid seven, but I'm giving it a ten because so many people have rated it one star for no reason whatsoever.

Since the very start of the movie, you could tell it's going to be a hoot. And the title is "Mafia Mamma". What did you expect to watch? I went into it with no expectations and laughed my ass off, both me and my husband, and we weren't even high or drunk.

Hands down the best comedy I've seen since "White Chicks".

And all of y'all that didn't like it because of your sophisticated taste, go and laugh at stupid memes on Instagram or TikTok or something...

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.

Toni Collette plays a bored and unassuming housewife catapulted into the highlife of being a mafia boss.

Oh what can I say. Toni Collette at her very best. I adore this lady she can make you believe anything. She's supported by a great cast in this dramedy and I belly laughed several times and I rarely ever do that during a film.

The story is silly of course but how many great film stories are? Is it any sillier than Bladerunner or Star Wars? But it is so engaging, and so funny, and yet still has high tension that you can't help be carried along on a wave of pure enjoyment.

This has been the highlight of my year so far. If you enjoy well acted, well directed, fun stories watch this film and I am sure you will be entertained.
