Mafia Mamma

Bellucci looks as if she is thinking about something else in every scene. It isn’t long before you’re doing the same.

Super duper silly and fun.

In the end Mafia Mamma falls between two stools; it’s much too violent to pass muster as a comedy (the MA15+ rating is well earned) and not interesting enough to work as a true mafia thriller.

... Mafia Mamma’s combo of fish-out-of-water comedy, swoony romance, over-the-top action, and violent mob film is merely far too much and never good enough.

It moves tactlessly from scene to scene, adorned with outrageous shoot-outs and lousy jokes, producing a feverish cinematic experience.

Mafia Mamma is a chaotic farcical romp, carried by the charms, timing and gusto of Toni Collette’s comedic chops.

There were plenty of Italian stereo types to choose from

The only reason this was watchable was Toni Colette

So painfully, shockingly unfunny that I couldn’t help wonder whether Collette and Bellucci were either blackmailed into doing it or were paying off on a lost bet.

...a sitcom-like misfire that feels much longer than its 101 minutes.
