"That's very funny. You're a comedian now?" that's a quote said by Alec Baldwin's character, Frankie "The Cucumber" de Marco to his wife, Angela de Marco played by Michelle Pfeiffer. There's so many funny lines of dialogue in the film and the dialogue is written so perfectly, coming out natural. Married to the Mob is a comedy by heart and a crime drama second. The line delivery is spot on and I'm quite sure the director is a reason to thank, but of course the acting is great. Jonathan Demme's direction and visual storytelling is fantastic. Although I like the writing, especially the dialogue I have to admit how it isn't really original, yet every line of dialogue works for the film and tone. Married to the Mob is a film you could sit down alone or with friends and have a laugh, quoting the film and having a good time.
A mobster's wife hates her lifestyle, but gets a chance to change it when her husband is killed - if the Long Island mob and the FBI let her.
Married to the Mob also stars Matthew Modine, Dean Stockwell and Mercedes Ruehl. Other than Michelle Pfeiffer and Alec Baldwin. The former of them was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, whilst Dean Stockwell was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. To just name a scene without any context or spoilers, the grocery store scene, the comedic timing and acting from Michelle Pfeiffer is just splendid. Is that scene award worthy? No, and that's the beauty of this film. Married to the Mob can be very funny, letting the actors just have fun, then the performances can also be great and you see that throughout the film with Michelle Pfeiffer and Dean Stockwell who critics loved. Anthony J. Nici plays Joey de Marco, the son of Pfeiffer's character, his role in the film isn't very big but important to Michelle Pfeiffer's character. Their scenes together were some of my favorites, he's a talented child actor, one who nails the comedic timing. Whenever she shares scenes with Dean Stockwell or Matthew Modine, the dramatic part of her performance and theirs becomes extremely great. It's said that Dean Stockwell stayed in character during the entirety of the filming, also how this is his personal favorite role. I haven't seen a lot of his films from his filmography but this performance is deserving for his Oscar nomination.
Married to the Mob is part romantic drama, part crime film and also a comedy. These sub-genres blend into one good filmtail (cocktail), it's just a fun movie and very colorful. Jonathan Demme created a good film here, offering entertainment and good entertainment is needed. He created a film for many, certainly a film for me.
