Rated PG, directed by Rob Pritts, with Chris Kattan (Corky Romano), Vinessa Shaw (Agent Kate Russo), Peter Falk (Pops Romano), Peter Berg (Paulie Romano), Chris Penn (Peter Romano), Fred Ward (Leo Corrigan) and Richard Roundtree (Howard Shuster), running time: 85 minutes.
Saturday Night Live stooge Chris Kattan is Corky Romano, the dandy son of a Mafia boss who, at his family's behest, goes undercover as an FBI agent in order to snatch information that incriminates his recently indicted father in a life of crime. Once inside, Corky falls for a beautiful, no-nonsense agent played by Vinessa Shaw, while he scrambles to steal the evidence the FBI has on his dad. Kattan's performance recalls the zaniness of a Jerry Lewis comedy or the pratfall humor of a Rowan Atkinson movie. Peter Falk, Peter Berg and Chris Penn as Corky's Mafia family help make the movie worth watching.
