A Fun Comedy
21 January 2023
This is fun comedic movie. Michael Keaton is actually a very good dramatic actor; however, he was a decent comedic actor before he was a serious one. This movie showcases his comedic talents. It is a 1920's-30's NY Gangster comedy surrounding the rise of a NYC mobster played by Keaton. Peter Boyle, Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, Dom DeLuise, and Joe Piscipo are all very good in this. Richard Dimitri, and every scene featuring him, is hysterical. The film has the feel and seems inspired by the work of Mel Brooks and Car Reiner. It is likable, and funny. The site and word gags hold up. The Direction by Amy Heckerling is good. The costumes and cinematography are fun to watch.
