Description
In Amy Heckerling's hilarious send-up of 1930s gangster films, Michael Keaton stars as Johnny Dangerously, a devoted son who turns to a life of crime in order to pay for his mother's operation. As a dapper kingpin, he manages to provide support for her never-ending medical problems while romancing a steamy torch singer (Marilu Henner), battling arch-rival Danny Vermin (Joe Piscopo) and exposing a corrupt D.A. (Danny DeVito). It's a zany, wild spoof that's riddled with as many gags as bullet holes.

This dispensable 1984 comedy is a mostly humorless parody of '30s gangster movies, the kind of thing that might work reasonably well in a five-minute sketch on Saturday Night Live but which nearly beats a viewer to death over the course of a feature. Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo play rival Mafia bosses, but once the novelty of that is introduced, it's already old. There's plenty of sustained effort from the rest of the cast (Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, Maureen Stapleton), with Griffin Dunne getting special points. Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) directs as if this were indeed on television. --Tom Keogh

 I love this movie May 20, 2008
It's frankly silly, and won't appeal to a lot of people, but when it came out it tied with Love at First Bite as my favorite movie. It still makes me laugh.
 A little rough for PG April 26, 2008
I remember this movie from TV. Yup, still funny, but some scenes had been cut for TV or I didn't remember them.
- An older lady responding to "Do you wanna make some money":
'One at time or both of you together?"
- Johnny's mom talking to his brother:
'All you care about is humping...."
Sometimes the movies you remember aren't quite like you remember. Memory lane has a few potholes.
Funny movie February 13, 2008
Don't listen to these farging bastiges. This is a movie on a par with any Mel Brooks film or even Monty Python. I am never disappointed when I watch this movie, and always find time to watch it when it comes on.
Fantastic Movie December 31, 2007
This movie is a fantastic comedy from the first time to the 10th time that you watch it!
All these years, and I still laugh so hard. December 23, 2007
If you've never seen this movie, you don't know what you're missing. It is a classic must-see comedy. This is one of Michael Keaton's best roles, as well.
