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!

I don't know if it's Hugh Grant's cheeky British sensibility, or the fact that I love mobster movies, but I've always had a real soft spot for this comedy.

While it's not the most inventive comedy in the world, I've always liked stories were characters are intentionally leading a charade against friends, family and close loved ones. Classic 90s story plot...

Couple of giggles, and a bit of fun.

This is how Godfather would look like if you replace Al Pacino to Hugh Grant!

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

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

What do you get when you cross clumsy auctioneer Hugh Grant with big time Mob man James Cann? A laugh out loud caper comedy with a universal message that no matter where we come from the power of love prevails! The concept of Kelly Makins script rings strong in the ears of both rom-com and crime movie aficionados. However, a lazy ploy with numerous holes and inaccuracies make the 1999 film a solid 3 stars. All in all any fans of the two actors will be enjoy this with a few belly laughs and cameos from some classic mafia actors (yes I’m talking to you cast of HBO’s ‘The Sopranos’ 😉). Enjoy Burt Young’s stellar performance as Uncle Vito!

The Godfather (1972) is quaking

Eine ganz persönliche Hausaufgabe unter Freunden und die helle Freude:

Kurzer Blick auf die Riege der Schauspieler:

James Caan (Der Pate I und II)
Joe Viterelli (Reine Nervensache 1 und 2)
Burt Young (Es war einmal in Amerika)
Tony Darrow (GoodFellas, Die Sopranos)
Vincent Pastore (GoodFellas, Die Sopranos)
Mark Margolis (Scarface, Breaking Bad)
Tony Sirico (GoodFellas, Die Sopranos)

Rein der unzähligen der hier oben aufgelisteten Darsteller diverserer Mafia- und Gangsterfilmen sehenswert. Für alle anderen eine seichte Komödie für den Gang zwischendurch.

Mickey blue eyes ist eine charmante kleine Romcom, wobei Mafiasatire passender ist, da der Fokus des Films mehr auf den vielen komischen Situationen von Hugh Grant innerhalb der Mafiawelt gelegt ist und somit einige amüsante Situationskomiken entstehen.

Hugh Grant, James Caan und Jeanne Tripplehorn spielen ihre Rollen charmant und mit Freude, besonders James Caan glänzt als Mafiavater dem man irgendwie nicht böse sein kann und auch die Nebenrollen sind gut geschrieben und besetzt.

Es ist kein Komödienhighlight, aber als charmanter, witziger Film für einen lockerleichten Filmabend ist Mickey Blue Eyes alle Male gut.

A beaten man is strong armed by the mafia into buying a worthless painting at auction, and two minutes later we see mobsters unloading Gateway cow print boxes from the back of a truck.

One man's product placement is another man's explanation for how the worst computers ever assembled moved so many units in the 1990s.

Really really funny.

Kinda what you’d expect dropping Hugh Grant in a mobster movie. It shouldn’t work but somehow it does.

Gains a star for all the cameos from classic mafia actors.

this so stupid lmaoooo

an extra half star for hugh grant

Why did they make this?

Although it started off a bit poor, this highly original and funny Gangster Rom-Com picked up big time after the first 20 mins and the ending was supringly tence and emotional. The cast is also great with James Caan, Burt Young and of course my man crush Mr Hugh Grant. I apologize that that rating may not be the most objective thing ever but when Hugh's on screen my critical facilities shut down.

8/10

iz me. miggie bloo

Wer 90er Jahre Komödien mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben.

Sicherlich nicht die witzigste Komödie aus dem Jahrzehnt, aber dafür mit dem Extra Bonus Charme, wenn man mit den typischen Hugh Grant Figuren sympathisieren kann.

Jeder, der Grants Art zu 'schauspielen' nicht ausstehen kann, sollte demnach auch hiervon die Finger lassen.

possibly the best hugh grant film i've ever seen

who doesn't love hugh grant? some moments of questionable acting but made me cackle honestly. didn't think i would ever see hugh in a mafia movie, but there we go ...

my parents also agree w this review.

Is it perfect? No. But the ‘I have opposable thumbs’ line is worth a star in itself.
