Critic Reviews

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    The gangster comedy spoof based on the best seller 1968 novel by Jimmy Breslin tanks.

  • Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com

    This stupid spoof of organized crime is about as appealing as week-old spaghetti.

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

    Skip it.
