"What
have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?"
by
Jon Dunmore © 7 Dec 2006.
MAFIA! is the severed horse's head bleeding all over the
pajamas of intelligent moviegoers everywhere.
Helmed
by writer-director Jim Abrahams - the comedy maverick who
brought us AIRPLANE, HOT SHOTS! and THE NAKED GUN - words cannot describe the humor that every
single frame of this movie judiciously avoids.
Attempting
desperately to be a spoof of THE GODFATHER and its ilk, MAFIA! stars Lloyd
Bridges as Don Cortino and Jay Mohr (who does a killer Walken
- but not here) as his Pacino-esque son. That is all ye
need to know. From there, it's downhill fast.
Don't
ever mention this film around me again.
