Manthast Absolutely amazing

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Elewis1195 MTTM is a fun, silly, cutsie Momedy that hasn't aged that well.Momedy - Mafia Comedy? No? OK, moving on.I think this is an underrated movie that deserves better than it's 6.1 rating. It was a well received when it came out, if a little lite. The story has some realness to it due to some solid acting by Michelle pfeiffer who comes across as thought but vulnerable and really wanting out. Even after she loses her husband she still feels "MTTM" and she can't get away, taking the biggest dump of an apt she can find and getting her son in public school, there is something heart-felt and honest about her that actually works.Everyone else plays their roles light and the movie moves quickly. The ending is a bit too predictable but the first hour works well. It deserves a better rating than it has, even if it's a bit dated.

utgard14 Mafia widow Michelle Pfeiffer tries to start over, away from her late husband's criminal life. She moves into a crummy apartment on the bad side of town with her son and gets a job as a hairdresser. Meanwhile, she is followed by horny mafia boss Dean Stockwell out to sleep with her and undercover FBI agent Matthew Modine trying to nab Stockwell. Somewhat inevitably, Modine falls for Pfeiffer and things become complicated. Mostly light dramedy with a great cast. I've seen it called a screwball comedy but I can't really agree with that. It has too many serious moments for a screwball, I think. Pfeiffer is wonderful and owns the movie. Stockwell is also good with a fun performance by Mercedes Ruehl as his jealous wife. It's no classic but worth a look.

edwagreen Whatever happened to Matthew Modine and Mercedes Ruehl? They were excellent here.This is a very funny film regarding the underworld. Michelle Pfeiffer is the girl who married a mafia man, played briefly by Alec Baldwin. Baldwin takes a bullet from crime boss, Tony Russo, played with extreme relish by Dean Stockwell. Stockwell merited a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for his wonderful portrayal. Russo kills Frankie (Baldwin) and then comes on to his widow. (Michelle Pfeiffer) She is ethical in that she wanted to lead a better life than living among the mobsters with their vicious wives. As Stockwell's insanely jealous wife, Mercedes Ruehl carries the day here.Matt Modine is the FBI agent who falls for Angie (Pfeiffer) and she soon is coerced by the FBI to work for them in nabbing Russo.This is basically another funny gangster film and it succeeds.

RoseNylan Have you ever tried a kind of food that your friend made, and then said to yourself, "wow, that was not a good mix"? Well, that is how I felt after watching this film.Many viewers will be left highly uncomfortable with this weird mix of crime and very, very corny comedy. Its almost like watching Mr. Rogers play a ruthless gangster, very weird. Some things just don't mix and this film clearly proves that.There are some very good performances here, as Dean Stockwell, Mercedes Ruhle, and Alec Baldwin are all excellent, but that doesn't make up for the lack of balance and symmetry in the film.Jonathan Demme has done some excellent work in films such as Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia, but seems to be out of his element with this one.
