Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Kattan stars in this mob comedy as Corky Romano, a veterinarian with a penchant for pop music from the '80s. As a youth, Corky was kicked out of his Mafia-connected family for being an oddball. Now his long-lost father (Peter Falk) has been indicted and needs Corky to infiltrate the FBI and steal the government's evidence against him. Corky is willing to aid the relatives who so long ago turned their backs on him, but his brothers go overboard when intimidating the computer hacker who gets Corky's bogus application into the FBI academy, presenting him as a super agent named Pissant. Now Corky must live up to his reputation for an eminently qualified top cop while simultaneously trying to get the goods on his dad. Corky Romano co-stars Peter Berg, Chris Penn, Vincent Pastore, Vinessa Shaw, Fred Ward, and Richard Roundtree. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

I am truly guilty on this one: even though this comedy is at times overly bizarre and odd, I cannot help but endear Corky Romano as being one of the funnier films that I have seen. Perhaps it is due to a lack of maturity, but really enjoyed the film. Although one may feel guilty for liking it and that their IQ has dropped a few points after the film, it is still a movie that is good for your heart as far as getting you laughing.
I feel as if the plotline for a comedy was certainly original, and that the progression of the film was done excellently. Chris Kattan does an absolutely terrific job, never failing in his goal to make your sides hurt.
Just the very basis of the film is funny, and as the film progresses, it is both interesting to see where it goes and pleasantly amusing. Overall, not an intellectual work-out for anybody involved, but if you are in the mood just to laugh and enjoy yourself, this is one of the better films for the job. If I was to show people years from now the better side of the comedy from my generation, I would be inclined to show this film as a good example. |
