"What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?"

MAFIA! is the severed horse's head bleeding all over the pajamas of intelligent moviegoers everywhere.

JANE AUSTEN'S MAFIA Lloyd Bridges Jim AbrahamsHelmed 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.
