Opisy(1)
Główną bohaterką Mafia Mamma jest Kristin (Toni Collette), która ma wrażenie, że nic ekscytującego jej już w życiu nie czeka. Dzieci wyfrunęły z gniazda, a mąż od dawna woli dziobać poza domem. Gdy z Włoch nadchodzi wiadomość o śmierci dziadka, Kristin wyrusza na pogrzeb, który wywróci jej życie do góry nogami. Uroczy staruszek przed śmiercią uczynił Kristin jedyną spadkobierczynią swojego biznesu. A że parał się dość nielegalnym zajęciem, wnuczka staje przed poważnym wyzwaniem. Dziadzio był szefem groźnej mafijnej rodziny, a jego śmierć zaostrzyła apetyt konkurencyjnych rodów. Kristin będzie musiała zamienić wałek do ciasta na kij baseballowy, a miotłę na karabin, jeśli sama nie chce skończyć w betonowych trzewikach. Strzeżcie się matki chrzestnej! (Monolith)

I get that this was meant to be a farce, and I admit, I had a few good laughs. But I felt like the whole concept needed to push the envelope a bit more, maybe even venture into the brutal side of things and over-the-top humor. That didn't happen here. Toni Collette was mostly just painfully awkward, and the plot contrivances were more annoying than anything.

A laid-back gangster comedy about how an ordinary woman becomes the head of a mafia family from one day to the next. Funny, well acted and swingingly Italian. However, the action is mediocre and it doesn't excel on any level, unfortunately, but it doesn't offend. Pure average.

Yeah, this is exactly the kind of movie that you feel from the first minutes that it's just going to be a good time. Toni Collette is a neglected 40-something forgotten in the whirlwind of hectic America who is unexpectedly invited to her Italian grandfather's funeral. But instead of sex, pasta and wine, she is given the hereditary position of head of a mafia family and the fun can begin. The whole development is bonkers, I giggled almost constantly and even though there's nothing downright diaphragm-ripping, the film comes off as a light-hearted parody of Italian gangster movies and the substitution of drug dealing for medicine dealing or the ways in which the mafia mamma "murders" her rivals are hilarious to say the least. The biggest hit for me personally are her two goofy bodyguards, who are strikingly reminiscent of Tweedledum and Tweedledee in their (lack of)intelligence, and who are simply impossible not to root for or at least like. All in all, this is a totally chill comedy starring a fine Collette which doesn't smack of any lofty ambition or goals to break the boundaries of the top films of 2023, but instead oozes pure desire to entertain and tap into the serious genre of Italian gangsters. I had a great time.
