You talkin to me? Okay mafia fans, here is a little
different take on the whole "Mob" movie craze and who better to lead
the film but the king of Mafioso, DeNiro. What you have is a good,
wholesome, Italian-American family who might have made a few mistakes in their
life now trapped in the FBI Witness Protection Program. Most of the story
takes place in France where they are "Stationed" and their reluctance
to adapt is what makes the movie really pretty funny. The kids are great
by floating high above their age level in school manipulating the others to get
what they want. The all star cast does a great job, especially Tomy Lee
Jones, as the Head FBI Agent. One of the funniest parts is where DeNiro
views "Goodfellas" for a french audience to give his take on the
movies authenticity. Biggest down-fall is that the movie seemed to end
prematurely. I feel like there should have been 15 more minutes and less
of an ending that was like a bull in a china shop. I would suggest
watching the movie, just dont expect an Oscar winning reaction. Available
on Netflix now.
FYI: When Pfeiffer was approached to do the film she said if she
doesnt have any scenes with DeNiro she wouldnt even read the script.
