Mafia!

Starring: Jay Mohr, Christina Applegate, Lloyd Bridges, et al.

Product Description

As the story of the Cortino family unfolds over nearly a century, young and innocent Vincenzo Cortino is driven from his home in Sicily and forced to swim to America. There he grows up to become the infamous patriarch of a powerful crime family. However, in his twilight years Vincenzo realizes the reins of power must be handed down to one of his sons: either the psychotic Joey (Burke) or the war hero Anthony (Mohr). Strong family loyalty, the struggle for power and relentless treachery form the unlikely background for this parody.

Run florist

Yep, it is another one of those movies in the "Airplane" genre. When they do not try too hard, some of the areas are funny. One really has to be in the mindset for this movie. If you have seen others like "Airplane," then this movie will not be as impressive as it could be. If this is your first foray into the world of puns and parodies, it holds its own. Many of the actors are recognizable from similar movies. In this production, Lloyd Bridges as Vincenzo Cortino takes the lead and is the main focus. Lloyd also appeared in Airplane! Parts One and Two. But I always think of him in the Sea Hunt TV series, 1958–1961. The story is of a young florist who finds his destiny in Jane Austen's Mafia! I will not go into detail, as the movie is mostly one-liner sight gags.
