Joe's devotion to his family knows no bounds, and he seeks to provide them with the ultimate in the good life, from a palatial home to a steady string of extravagant gifts. Unfortunately, Joe's spending spree is wildly out of touch with reality, as his apparel business is teetering on the brink of collapse, a fact he refuses to accept. Mighty Fine ultimately shows how coming to terms with the past without judgment is the most fruitful way to move toward the future. -- (C) Adopt Films

Critic Reviews
-
John Anderson, Newsday
A well-meaning but unstable hand at the tiller, and a propensity for charting plot points, rather than a clear narrative destination.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
If you can overlook Andie MacDowell's Mitteleuropa accent as a Jewish Holocaust survivor (I know: big if), the cinematic roman a clef "Mighty Fine" has some quiet charms.
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
"Mighty Fine," unfortunately, isn't.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Mighty Fine is an incisive portrait of an insecure, manic-depressive tyrant that Mr. Palminteri makes entirely believable.
-
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Too many directions can be as much of a liability for a movie as too few, and "Mighty Fine" heads in all of them.
