Good fun but Brando's spoof of his role in the Godfather seemed a little ungrateful.

August 4, 2007A good comedy with Matthew Broderick working for a real Godfather-clone (Marlon Brando). There are great scenes involving a Komodo Dragon. Bruno Kirby is great in this one.

January 7, 2007Mildly amusing gangster comedy that probably would've disappeared under the radar if it weren't for Marlon Brando's self parodying turn as an ageing mobster.

August 25, 2009Marlon Brando does a nice send-up of his Godfather role. Matthew Broderick is also good in this film. There are a number of funny moments spread out through the movie.

October 25, 2008Broderick and Brando were solid but the story drags. Broderick has natural presence. Of course Brando does. Over all though the film lacked something. Don't buy it. Borrow it.
