Movie Review - Mafia Mamma
I had so much fun watching Mafia Mamma. This movie was outrageously funny. Toni Collette gave her best performance ever. You see the real her. The laughs and smiles she gives are deep down and pure. I wanted to be her! She discovered herself in such a fashion that I asked my Mom if we maybe had an old granddaddy mafia boss. Sadly, I don't, so I just have to live vicariously through Kristin. (Toni Collette)
Mafia Mamma made it to my buy list. In today's day and age we usually just stream movies, this one earned the purchase of the DVD when it comes out. I'll watch it over and over again.
This movie is purely a comedy. I'm sure there will be some uptight critics that pan the movie calling it unrealistic, contrite and fake. To those stodges I say, take a break from real life and pretend for a while. Let the magic of Collette's performance take you away and smile for a while.
I totally recommend Mafia Mamma, it's the perfect date night movie or if yall ladies would like a break from the daily grind, this flick will tickle you right back to when life was simple and fresh in a mafia sort of way.
