Chris Kattan, Chris Penn, Dave Sheridan

The setup is promising: The Romano mob family know that they're being betrayed by a hidden FBI informant in their ranks, so they decide to send a family member under cover to destroy the evidence agai...( read more  read more... )nst them--but the only family member the FBI won't recognize is the family black sheep, Corky (Chris Kattan), a touchy-feely aspiring veterinarian. But once Corky goes undercover, his klutzy ways accidentally make him the star of the FBI, sparking envy from his fellow agents and arousing suspicion in the mob. Though the script of Corky Romano declines as the movie goes on, Kattan actually keeps the picture going; his spastic, sniveling, childish energy is engaging, and at its best the production bubbles over with silliness. It only falls flat when Kattan has to behave in a remotely adult manner, which fortunately doesn't happen very often. Cheerful dopiness. Featuring Peter Falk, Peter Berg, and Chris Penn as mobsters. --Bret Fetzer

    This movie seemed pretty funny at the time, especially when he does all of that cocaine, that actually made me laugh out loud. Other than that I'm not a big Chris Kattan fan and most of the humor was stuff we had seen before.

    Corky Romano was not a blockbuster movie by any means, but did modestly well at the box office. It opened at #3 on its first weekend, taking in $9,023,173.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Much too tired and mean-spirited to be funny. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The concept is exhausted, the ideas are tired, the physical gags are routine, the story is labored, the actors look like they can barely contain their doubts about the project. full review
