DVD Reviews of Mobsters and Mormons
DVD Review: Cheesey, but worth watching.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is another one of those movies worth watching on DVD, but not going to the theater to see. (I know, moot point since it's no longer in theaters.)
On the down side: this movie engages in stereotype portrayals of Italians and cartoonish Mafia characters, as well as some Mormon stereotypes. Another weakness was the casting of the minor characters. Outside of the two main families (the Mormon family and the Mafia family), almost all the actors seemed very weak.
But if you can suspend your disbelief of or annoyance with the stereotypes (and poor casting) just a little, the magic of the movie is the combination of the two stereotypes, and how they play against each other. Sort of a "fish out of water" theme.
I also hand it to the writer/director for going with a little more intense humor than previous Mormon movies. Parts were slapstick, but not as silly or as unbelievable in say "Home Teachers" or "The R.M."
I'm going to watch it again, just so I can re-tell the Mafia version of the 3 Little Pigs story.
I think non-LDS would like this movie and see the humor. But if you're one of those uptight LDS who's been offended at other Halestorm Entertainment pictures so far (Singles Ward, The RM, Home Teachers), you'll probably be offended by this one too.
This movie is rated PG, but it's just barely PG. There's no more violence than some of the old 3 Stooges or Little Rascals stuff I remember seeing.
Description of Mobsters and Mormons
When Carmine "The Beans" Pasquale (Mark DeCarlo) is nabbed by the FBI, he decides to testify against his mafia boss (Michael Kagan) and go into the Witness Relocation Program with his wife Gina (Jeanette Puhich) and son Vincent (Clayton Taylor). Now known as George, Linda and Patrick Cheeseman, the Pasquale family is sent to suburban Utah to begin their new life. But can the "Cheesemans" survive in a wolrd where everyone is Mormon, all coffee is bad and scrapbooking reigns supreme? A hilarious comedy with a knockout comedic performance by DeCarlo.Bestsellers in DVD
