Vinnie Antonelli (Steve Martin) trades the mob for the witness protection program and moves to a small suburb in California. But for Vinnie, old ways die hard. He becomes a challenge for Barney Coopersmith (Rick Moranis), the FBI agent in charge of making sure Vinnie keeps a low profile before he can testify against his former mob associates. Barney, though, might actually be able to learn some things from Vinnie. That is, if Barney can keep him alive long enough.

A well delivered and comedic story. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

A broad and fast-paced comedy, this 1990 movie leans heavily on gangster comedy cliches but encourages its cast and audience to have some fun with them.

Pure joy. Just a lovely film that flips gangster tropes on their head and proves even a wise guy can still be a nice guy. Bill Irwin’s big dancing number nearly made me leap from my seat and applaud.

A frequently blasé script is elevated by the winning performances of the three stars.

It's hideously unfunny, falling well beneath the capabilities of everyone involved...Ross isn't building a comedy here, he's trying to survive one.

A story about character change…I get it. But what was I supposed to laugh at? Who is meant to be funny? Steve Martin? His caricature of a mobster would have worked in a three-minute SNL sketch, but for 1.5 hours? It was desperately boring. Moranis was a straight man. Cusack played her usual uptight character (School of Rock). Who was funny? And why am I watching 25 dance numbers or whatever? What a mess.

I love Steve Martin and Rick Moranis, but this movie did everyone involved an injustice, despite being written by Nora Ephron with production by her, Goldie Hawn, and Andrew Stone. The worst thing about it was probably Steve Martin's forced New York accent while playing a character that didn't fit him. He was so bad for the role, though it pains me to say it. Even had another actor played his part, I don't think I would have enjoyed this movie any more than I did. The script is corny, boring, and not funny. Pass on this one if you haven't seen it.

just the right amount of silliness and light hearted humor. Forget about life for 90 minutes.

I have never been a fan of Steve Martin. I lost interest in this movie so much that i finished in 20 minutes. I think watching this after My cousin Vinny was a wrong idea.

All time classic Steve Martin. So many quotable lines. Just a light-hearted funny good time. Anyone who gives this less than 4 stars needs their head examines and probably leaves their dry-cleaned slacks wadded up on the floor.
