Mafia stars Jay Mohr as Anthony Cortino, son of mafia Don Vincenzo Cortino played by Lloyd Bridges. It also features famous actors like Christina Applegate, Billy Burke, and Joe Viterelli.
This movie primary spoof targets seem to be The Godfather and Casino. But have no fear, many non-mafia related movies are used for material as well, they even found a way to mix in E.T. There's a Jaws inspired water scene, and a Forest Gump reference that's quite hilarious, and many more of course.
Overall, the story is a basic mafia style movie, but with big ladle of simple minded comedy served over the top of it. Lloyd Bridges is awesome and very funny. Jay Mohr (a comedian in his own right) is also very funny. Over all, if you enjoy slap stick type humor this movie should provide a few hearty laughs, and every actor in the movie has a chance to deliver laughs.
Currently this movie is a little under rated, possibly due to misplaced expectations. 7/10
