This might have been good in it's day, but with the hindsight of so many good mob movies, the parody just isn't funny. Perhaps it never was. It has a solid cast, but the gawdy/ trashy mob wives thing has been done to death. The jokes don't work, and the would-be tension is spoiled by the jokes. It fails as both drama and comedy. I'd give it a miss, and watch either a mob movie or a comedy.
