Married to the Mob

[aclockworkjj]

I really am amazed to find Demme behind this.....although an entertaining movie, it is very cheesy...no?  I am gald to see his progression from this film.  Sorry, it happens to be on as a "typical Sunday afternoon movie"...and I just felt the need to comment on it...

The only redeeming bit about this film is that fact that it's the only movie to feature songs by the Great Texas 80's Minimalist Rock Punk Band, The Judy's.

Married To The Mob is my favorite director.

i thought it was a fun movie.

It's a fun movie, visually stimulating, great music, some great acting (Pfeiffer, Dean Stockwell, Mercedes Ruehl).  I never took Michell Pfeiffer seriously before I saw this, and it made me realize she's a great actress.  Also, Married to the Mob predated GoodFellas and Sopranos as far as depicting comical domestic details of mob life.  I'll take Married to the Mob over Silence of the Lambs anyday.

Just added it to my Netflix...thanks for bringing it up, sounds like something I'd love...I'd take Something Wild over Silence anyday.

I loved this movie, I saw it on TV about 2 months ago. Oddly enough, it was on a Sunday afternoon.   One of my favourite Demme films (though he's done so little), I'd rank it right after Philadelphia and Silence Of The Lambs. I've noticed that he casts a lot of the same people over like Charles Napier, Chris Issak, and that guy with the lazy eye.

Gotta love those movies!!

off subject....I was surprised to see how high you think of Wonder Boys....every good flick, it's nice to see someone else thinks so too...
