Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
This dispensable 1984 comedy is a mostly humorless parody of '30s gangster movies, the kind of thing that might work reasonably well in a five-minute sketch on Saturday Night Live but which nearly beats a viewer to death over the course of a feature. Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo play rival Mafia bosses, but once the novelty of that is introduced, it's already old. There's plenty of sustained effort from the rest of the cast (Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, Maureen Stapleton), with Griffin Dunne getting special points. Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) directs as if this were indeed on television. --Tom Keogh
Description
In Amy Heckerling's hilarious send-up of 1930s gangster films, Michael Keaton stars as Johnny Dangerously, a devoted son who turns to a life of crime in order to pay for his mother's operation. As a dapper kingpin, he manages to provide support for her never-ending medical problems while romancing a steamy torch singer (Marilu Henner), battling arch-rival Danny Vermin (Joe Piscopo) and exposing a corrupt D.A. (Danny DeVito). It's a zany, wild spoof that's riddled with as many gags as bullet holes.

5 out of 5 stars fab movie.......2007-07-02

this is a hard to find unopened movie. i was totally happy to find it and give it as a gift. awesome

3 out of 5 stars A classic, nonetheless.......2007-04-21

Not up there with Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles, as some have mentioned, but a funny movie. Also a very bad movie. It is so bad in spots, it's funny. Worth seeing just for the the taglines, especially the mangled cursing that is useful in so many situations, and the aforementioned Ma Kelly's "I go both ways " line.

4 out of 5 stars One of a kind.......2007-03-09

This movie is Funny!! A great romp for adults young and old.

5 out of 5 stars Johnny Dangerously.......2007-01-23

An excellent get-away-from-violence type of movie. There is some violence but compared to what we see on TV, this is nothing. It was shot to look like a 30's movie but the humor is modern. I would not have a problem watching this with my nieces and nephews of any age. We love to watch it when there is no intelligence on TV.

4 out of 5 stars Fargin' Iceholes!!!!.......2007-01-21

This movie is a classic. Love it, and will watch 'til I burns a hole through it. All of you some of a bastages will enjoy it!!!
