Mafia Boss Don Carini (Harvery Keitel) is about to pass on the title of Godfather to his son. However his illegitimate son, Young-gu (Hyung-rae Shim) is a bit funny in the head. Still, Don Carini brings him to America and begins grooming him to take over the family business. Mostly through luck, he rescues the daughter, Nancy Bonfante (Jocelin Donahue) of the other mafia boss Don Bonafante (Jon Polito) and sets off on a quest to win her heart and possibly either unite or destroy both families.
Apparently Young-gu is a character from Korean TV. I’m not Korean, so I was not aware of that. So I went into this film expecting a relatively funny Godfather parody. Instead, it is extremely stupid! This is one of the biggest wastes of time that I have ever seen. I was sorely disappointed at the lack of humor in this film. We had some decent stars in this film, but they were completely wasted. It was just silly. There was nothing to make it worth the time watching it, and I’d recommend avoiding it at all costs. The concept was not so terrible. A mafia Don’s illegitemate son is being groomed to take over the family, but the execution was so awful, that there was nothing done with the premise that made it more than a silly show. Perhaps someone gets it, and understands the value of this film. If you do, I’d be very happy to have a comment below explaining what I’m missing, but I found it a real dud!
View the trailer if you dare, and see for yourself the quality of humor in this movie!
