Review of Married to the Mob (1988) by Candace M — 13 Nov 2010
Ever since this played at a theater where I worked, I probably love this silly comedy much more than I should. Matthew Modine's cartoonish goof is definitely the weak link in the film, but Mercedes Ruehl's OTT psycho jealous mob wife makes up for him.
Whenever people are gushing on about The Godfather for the 5 zillionth time on their imdb lists, I like to jokingly present this as my favorite gangster movie...for the gritty realism. Bonus points for the jab at Reagan ("Oh there's a big difference.
..") and an excellent soundtrack.
