I married into a Sicilian family. And let me tell you, I had no idea what I was getting my naive little blue-eyed self into.

I was threatened pretty early on, by no less than two Godfathers, that if I broke the heart of Silvio's little Bambina, I would find myself wearing a pair of concrete shoes whilst swimming with the fishes.

So, when people ask me what the secret is to our long and happy marriage, the truthful answer is that my life depends on it. Literally.

Maybe that is why I just didn't find this film funny in the slightest. This kind of thing is nothing to be laughed at. It is deadly serious.

Whoever dreamed up this piece of shit film... Vaffanculo!

Na, was habe ich denn da Drolliges all die Jahre verpasst?

look

lemme tell ya somethin’ right here

I’m part Italian

and this?

THIS

is a new classic of Italian cinema for me

it’s joke-a-second hilarious, it’s well-written, it’s even more well-acted, it’s surprisingly tense, and it’s even got some surprises and a few tears for ya

a hilarious gangster parody that deserves more love SO SHOW IT SOME AY OH!!

jfc this had such a great joke density & so many of them worked, I loved this so much more than I expected.

Bonus

Das war eine wirklich nette kleine Romcom, wo bei ich das ganze mit der Mafia als etwas ermüdend empfunden habe. Aber durch die zahlreichen unterhaltsamen Szenen mit Hugh Grant, der mir in letzter Zeit wirklich ans Herz wächst, hatte ich wirklich viel Spaß.
Mickey Blue Eyes ist jetzt nichts weltbewegendes, aber in den Lovember passt er auf jeden Fall gut rein und ich hatte eine schön kurzweilige Zeit.

i wish i was italian

The Godfather (1972) is quaking

“Rent Casino, Goodfellas, The Godfather 1, 2, 3.”

A hugely underestimated film, I think. Mickey Blue Eyes makes me laugh all the way through.

Hugh Grant Movie Club

Deserves to be in the pantheon of of-its-time romcom hybrids (So I Married An Axe Murderer, Grosse Pointe Blank). Funnier than it has any right to be. Hugh Grant is dry and charming—looking forward to many weeks of Hugh Grant Movie Club.

Maybe my favorite mafia related thing I’ve ever seen????? Wow!!!

happy valentine's day from me and hugh grant's floppy ass haircut !! 💓

Love james caan, hugh is so funny especially when he’s trying to say forget about it xx

It'd be remembered better if Meet the Parents didn't blow it away a year or so later but it's a solid little premise and James Caan does way more than he needed to.

I bought this for $4.99 instead of renting it for $3.99. Sometimes I go about in pity for myself.

Ay oh! Fugetta bout it! This movie is fucking hilarious! Call this Modern Italian-American New Wave! Ayy!
