Summary: A Classic
Review: My Blue Heaven is a classic. I've been watching it for years, and for some reason the jokes don't get old, the movie doesn't get boring, the only bad thing that happens is the video wears out. This is simply one of the best, funniest, most watchable movie ever. Go out of your way to see this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny ....
Review: Just a fun film to watch. Steve Martin is really funny in this movie potraying a mafia under a witness protection program ... One of my favourite Steve Martin's film

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Steve Martin at his best with a great complementing cast.
Review: The setting of Steve Martin as an ex New York gangster turned states evidence for the government is great. His accent, body language,haircut, and style are hilarious from the first screen. The dance routine in New York, and the "get rid of those shoes" scene will make you laugh to tears. This is one of Steve's best performances and was his least known movie among our friends. This is one you can pull out to entertain with almost every time and find that they haven't seen it before.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simply fun to watch
Review: Martin is the "hood" in the Witness Protection Program, Moranis is the Federal Agent assigned to protect him. The chemistry between the two is simply hilareous. A great movie that obviously doesn't take itself too seriously. Simply fun to watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is THE funniest!
Review: THIS MOVIE IS REALLY, REALLY FUNNY! It always makes me laugh, it picks me up when I'm unhappy. I've got a Mob-movie obsessed friend who once bought a bad Mafia movie but I rented this one, with the incredible Steve Martin spoofing a mobster. He hated the one he bought, but loved this. I encourage to to buy or rent it! It's hilarious!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feel-good movie
Review: Absolutely love this movie. Every time i see it i feel great afterwards. Steve Martin and Rick Moranis are really great and not just funny, but genuinely moving as the friendship develops. Definitely Steve's best role ever - a great character who we should all be more like!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Of The Funniest Movies I've Ever Seen
Review: Released in 1990 to mixed reactions, the mobster comedy "My Blue Heaven" reteamed "Parenthood" stars Steve Martin and Rick Moranis for a hilarious slapstick comedy that is possibly their most underrated work.

Vinnie Antonelli (Martin) is an Italian mobster who is put in the witness protection agency after witnessing a murder. After his wife leaves him, he strikes up a friendship with Barney Coopersmith (Rick Moranis), an uptight FBI agent who is assigned to look after him. In addition to protecting him, Barney learns from Vinnie how to be loose and on the edge. He strikes up a romance with Assistant D.A. Hannah Stubbs (Joan Cusack), and Vinnie gets remarried... twice.

There a number of hilarious moments in this film. Like when Vinnie's family arrives in New York or the turtle death sequence or the climax at the courtroom or the supermaket sequence (it's a veg - a - table). This whole film is hysterically funny. Pick it up when you get the chance.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: New York mobster in southwest paradise
Review: Although slightly inferior to MY COUSIN VINNY, Steve Martin's MY BLUE HUSBAND is also a variation of the old city mouse/country mouse theme, and a terrifically funny one at that. Martin, Moranis, and Cusack are a great team and turn their usual solid performances.

Other reviewers have done a good job of giving you the basic plot outline, so I won't bog you down with that again. But I can't refrain from mentioning my favorite scene. Vinnie (Martin) hunts for arugala in a huge supermarket. Being far from Manhattan, this Italian vegetable is impossible to find in the white bread and mayo southwest. As his frustration mounts, and after countless "Have a nice days" from the clerks, Vinnie explodes with a resounding "F**k YOU!" It sounds crude but it is not gratuitous. Because we understand Vinnie's outrage, we understand his outburst.

Director Herbert Ross does an admirable job of pacing this film, as he does in drawing out the best possible performances from his cast. MY BLUE HEAVEN is one of those sleeper films that many people haven't heard of, but once they see it, they love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hillariously funny, im many ways
Review: Hillarious!! Steve Martin and Rick Moranis, what a pair! Not many people realize that in some movies, the fact that they aren't even close to what their character is supposed to be like is supposed to happen. The acting is wonderfull, the script, excellent, and everything just runs together nicely.

This movie is awesome, and if you don't start quoteing the movie, well, everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, even those who dont. You should watch it.
