This film is a nice tribute to the late (great) Lloyd Bridges in his final role as the main Don Conrtino (he keeps mixing it up though) who must pass on his business (mob) to his son Tony (played hilariously by Jay Mohr). A great spoof as always coming from ZAZ man (A man actually) Jim Abrahams who casts Bridges for the 5th time. He also brings to the screen zany yet funny parodies of films (gnagster in general) including- GoodFellas, Casino, The Godfather Trilogy, Jaws, Jurassic Park 1 & 2, and countless others. Plenty of gags and two great performances save this film from plot destruction. One of the funniest spoofs ever. A+

Don Cortezone
I did not have sex with that woman, but I am wearing her underwear.
My 10/10 rating assumes that you're not actually going to bother looking at this page unless you've decided that you like "Jane Austen's Mafia!" before you've seen it (I found it pretty funny). For anyone else, it's the sort of spoof that - as many reviews said at the time - is destined to sleep with the fishes. A gag-a-minute send-up of history's most famous mafia movies, there's clearly nothing sacred to the people behind this flick; the whole Sicily sequence makes that clear (well, what can you expect from the director of "Airplane!"?). Where Leslie Nielsen seemingly would be is Lloyd Bridges (in his final role) as the aging, clumsy don.
So, in conclusion, you'll only take interest in this if you accept any kind of humor, no matter how low. But you may be hungry for Italian food after watching it. Also starring Jay Mohr, Billy Burke, Christina Applegate, Olympia Dukakis and Vincent Pastore.
And remember: soup is good!
