“See it early. Avoid the mob.”

ComedyCrime

After growing up poor in Salmonella, Vincenzo Cortino installs himself as the preeminent, if bumbling, Mafia don of the New World. But now he must pass on power to one of his two sons: either level-headed veteran Anthony or vituperative loose cannon Joey.

VIBE

A chaotic, over-the-top parody that gleefully skewers gangster tropes. Expect rapid-fire gags, absurd situations, and a relentless energy that makes for a wild, silly ride.
