Entertaining, Though Not Amazing
A gay couple are hit men for the mafia.
This is your standard comedy of twists, turns and mistaken identity. The twist here is that the main characters are gay, but their parents do not know... that they are mob hit men. It is pretty good, and this simple plot device gets carried on for quite a while successfully.
The strength of this film is in its approach to "gay themes". Obviously it relies on stereotypes, but I think that it handles them in a tasteful manner that is not derogatory or insulting to the LGBT community. The very fact so many openly gay people were involved gives it a certain stamp of approval.
There is less emphasis on the mob parts, so if you are looking for a Mafia comedy, this might not necessarily be your thing. It is good, it is funny, but the Mafia is really not as central as it first appears.
