Rating: Summary: Hilarious!!! Review: This movie has to be viewed at least 5 times in order to pick up on all the subtle, background humor which is often overshadowed by the obvious slapstick comedy. It's like Norm Crosby's famous word-mangling was interjected into a color version of "Some Like It Hot!"
Rating: Summary: A BRILLIANT COLLAGE OF HILARITY Review: Well, what do you expect from the co-writer of BLAZING SADDLES? Johnny Dangerously is a total masterpiece, displaying the wacky monkeyshines of the Mafia perfectly. Keaton's best, I think. Of course, Dom DeLouise is perfect in his cameo as The Pope. A great reccomendation for someone just wanting to relax on his or her sofa and laugh a lot.
Rating: Summary: Coudln't stop laughing! Review: What a fantastic combination of music, comedy and good old fahioned gangsters! Will never forget Marilu singing on the piano. Also came up with quite a few catchy words to use in place of the "naughty" ones! Watch the movie -- you'll see what I mean!
Rating: Summary: Was the guy that wrote the editorial review high?? Review: Whoever wrote the editorial review for Amazon is dead wrong. This movie is a classic. I can recite plenty of scenes from memory that's how many times I've seen it.
Rating: Summary: The Only Good Mob Spoof Review: You would think that mob life would be one of the easiest things for a movie to spoof. However, Johnny Dangerously is the only good one to have been made, and there have been a lot of mob spoofs made. JD is set in the 1920s and focuses on the glamour days of the mafia.The title role is perfect for Michael Keaton. He plays a suave ladies man that is a more sensitive mob boss. His foil is played by Joe Piscopo in the person of Danny Vermin. Piscopo has the funniest lines in the movie, "It shoots through schools". Johnny has gotten involved in the mob because of his ailing mother. He needs money to pay her medical bills and for his brother's education. His brother, Tommy, decides that he wants to become a district attorney so that he can take down the mafia. Tommy doesn't know that Johnny Dangerously is really his brother Johnny Kelly. Throw in the fact that Tommy's boss, played by Danny DeVito, is on the mob payroll and you get an altogether hilarious movie. Some of the funniest scenes in JD feature Richard Dimitri as rival mob boss Roman Moroni completely butchering the English language, "You fargin iceholes". JD is certainly good for more than a few laughs.
