Description
In Amy Heckerling's hilarious send-up of 1930s gangster films, Michael Keaton stars as Johnny Dangerously, a devoted son who turns to a life of crime in order to pay for his mother's operation. As a dapper kingpin, he manages to offer support for her never-ending medical problems while romancing a steamy torch singer (Marilu Henner), battling arch-rival Danny Vermin (Joe Piscopo) and exposing a corrupt D.A. (Danny DeVito). It's a zany, wild spoof this's riddled together with as many gags as bullet holes.
This dispensable 1984 comedy is a mostly humorless parody of '30s gangster movies, the kind of thing this might work reasonably well in a five-minute sketch on Saturday Night Exist but which nearly beats a viewer to death over the course of a aspect. Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo have fun rival Mafia bosses, but one time the novelty of this is introduced, it's already old. There's plenty of sustained effort from the rest of the cast (Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, Maureen Stapleton), together with Griffin Dunne getting exclusive points. Amy Heckerling (Quick Times at Ridgemont High) directs as if this were indeed on television. --Tom Keogh

VERY underrated comedy, just hilarious!!!   2010-06-17
By C. Video (London, KY United States)
Critics panned this movie. That's why I rarely listen to critics. Everyone I have ever watched this movie with absolutely rolled in the floor with laughter. It is hilarious. If you love Mel Brooks type of comedy combined with a little SNL, ... this is for you. In my opinion, this is one of the funniest movies I have seen. I am buying it on DVD so I can share it with my kids.

If you like "Weird Al" you will like this movie. It does for gangster movies what he does for songs.

I got this movie for my son. To him it is classic. He was a little boy when he first saw it and love it. I always liked the hidden inuendos(forgive my spelling). I know he will enjoy this for Christmas. Cheryl
Funny Movie by Michael Keaton   2009-10-13
By Steven Caldwell (Lindenwold, New jersey United States)
This movie may seem a bit corny to some; but I really like the comedy by Micheal Keaton and Joe Piscopo. Not a bad satire on gangster films.
