Mickey Blue Eyes (1999)

Mickey Blue Eyes: Directed by Kelly Makin. With Hugh Grant, James Caan, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Burt Young. An English auctioneer proposes to the daughter of a Mafia kingpin, only to realize that certain “favors” would be asked of him.

“This was an entertaining comedy, similar to several other films Iu0026#39;ve seen in which an innocent-appearing nice guy gets caught up in the middle of a mob family. (i.e. Matthew Broderick in u0026quot;The Freshman.u0026quot;)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn this film, itu0026#39;s Hugh Grant who winds up in mobster James Caanu0026#39;s clan. The latter isnu0026#39;t known for his comedy but heu0026#39;s good at it. Sometimes just the facial expressions on Caanu0026#39;s face brought out big laughs with me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJoe Viterelli is perfect for any Mafia-type story, as is Burt Young. It was a little strange, though, to see Young look like such a shriveled up old man. Jeanne Tripplehorn provides the romantic interest in here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy only complaints were too much usage of Godu0026#39;s name in vain, especially for a comedy, and the typical on again-off again marriage plans youu0026#39;ve seen so many times in movies for many decades. Overall, however, a good lighthearted comedy that should please a lot of people.”
