Review of Mafia Mamma

Mafia Mamma (2023)
4/10
Subtle humor would have worked better
16 April 2023
There's only two or three movies I've walked out on. I think the premise was good although you have to sort of check your belief at the door of the idea that by inheritance an American housewife gets a summons that she is now a mafia boss in Italy

That's fine because a lot of movies you just sort of go with it

But she's portrayed as such a bumbling fool. And I suppose this humor works for some but it would've been far better in my estimation had it been subtle humor

That is, she realizes what she has inherited and walked into but her naïveté keeps getting her into trouble. But her naïveté ends up saving the day

That sort of thing...

Anyway some may like it but her stupidity for me even fictionally was too painful to watch. Could anybody be that stupid and bumbling?

Although I did like the acting of her consigliore. And that acting was believable.
