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!
look
lemme tell ya somethin’ right here
I’m part Italian

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

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.
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.
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!
