ComedyCrime

Countless wiseguy films are spoofed in this film that centers on the neuroses and angst of a powerful Mafia racketeer who suffers from panic attacks. When Paul Vitti needs help dealing with his role in the "family," unlucky shrink Dr. Ben Sobel is given just days to resolve Vitti's emotional crisis and turn him into a happy, well-adjusted gangster.

VIBE

This film delivers a delightful blend of sharp wit and underlying anxiety, offering a unique take on the mob genre. It feels like a surprisingly heartfelt, yet consistently funny, exploration of personal neuroses and the unexpected bonds that can form when two very different worlds collide. Expect laughs and a touch of unexpected introspection.
