About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, fast mob comedy with strong leads and plenty of romantic/crime tension; Not for you if you want nonstop jokes or a modern, fresh-feeling tone like Something Wild or You Kill Me.
Pros: engaging cast; mob-comedy energy; breezy pace | Cons: humor inconsistent; feels dated; plot complications
