Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Mickey Blue Eyes was crafted as a vehicle for the stammering British charm of Hugh Grant (star of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Nine Months), so whether or not you like the movie will depend heavily on your affection for Grant. He plays an art auctioneer who falls in love with schoolteacher Jeanne Tripplehorn (Basic Instinct, Very Bad Things), who just happens to be the daughter of mobster James Caan (The Godfather, Misery). To protect Grant, Tripplehorn tries to fend off his proposal of marriage, but some miscommunications lead to Grant being embraced by the "family." After the mob decides to launder money through Grant's auction house, an accidental killing results in Grant pretending to be Mickey Blue Eyes out of Kansas City (the sight and sound of Grant trying to say "fuggedaboudit" was undoubtedly what sold the movie in the first place). The plot isn't as well executed as it could be, but the leads are all well cast and there are some excellent supporting performances, particularly Burt Young (Rocky) as a myopic mob boss and Scott Thompson (from the comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall) as a sprightly FBI agent. --Bret Fetzer

1 out of 5 stars Bad.......2006-12-17

This movie is just plain bad. It never should have been released for public consumption. I honestly cannot think of one good thing to say about this movie. It makes no sense that it would have 3 1/2 stars with 39 reviews. Something fishy is going on here. Enough time wasted on this one.

5 out of 5 stars A movie worth watching! .......2005-04-23

Definitely a great romantic comedy, Mickey Blue Eyes, brings to the screen the story of an Englishman working at an auction house in NYC who proposes to his girlfriend of three months only to find out that her family is part of the mob. Things become a bit more complicated when he believes that he can handle the situation...
Hugh Grant, Jeanne Tripplehorn, James Caan, and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs, not to mention a few tears.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all wonderful!
In short, Mickey Blue Eyes is a movie worth watching and even though it is not quite as good as Nine Months or Notting Hill, it is definitely a keeper! 4½ Stars

4 out of 5 stars Nice romantic comedy........2004-03-11

This film combines romance, comedy and the Mafia quite well. Hugh Grant is romantically involved with a beautiful girl whose father (James Caan) is a NYC mob figure. She tries to hide it from him, but eventually he finds out and becomes innocently involved with her father and the mob. Enjoyable flick.

4 out of 5 stars IT'S NO "ANALYZE THIS", BUT FUN ROMP THRU A DOOZY SITUATION.......2004-03-10

Witty theme, darker than you'd expect and with some dead-serious undertones (Burt Young's character, for example, is *scary* without a trace of humor) but this is totally appropriate in context and gives the movie a punch that many comedies lack. Hugh Grant's comic timing took me by surprise, as did Jeanne T's convincing rendition of a mafia don's daughter. James Caan was actually the reason I picked this DVD up and did not regret it. Very worthy spin for an evening if you like atypical comedies in general or mafia comedies in particular.

5 out of 5 stars Hugh Grant Provides Lots of Light-hearted Fun !!!.......2003-04-22

Whenever I find an unfavorable review for this film it really mystifies me. This is one of my favorite comedies!! Hugh Grant does his usual excellent job since this story serves as a PERFECT vehicle for his familiar cinematic personna. There are definitely some unforgettable scenes here...I'm talking about the botched up marriage proposal of course, and who can forget the part where James Caan has to teach Grant how to talk like a gangster?! There are soooo many laughs-- never a dull moment and a great bargain for such a fun movie! If you like Grant, this DVD is a must have! If you don't, then you cannot recognize a truly charismatic performer when you see one.

          Description

          Grunge rock. Fast food. And da family. What's not to love? Matt Dillon leads a gifted ensemble in singles (Disc 1/Side A), Cameron Crowe's rock-laced tale of Seattle twentysomethings (including Bridget Fonda and Kyra Sedgwick) searching for and running from romance. Want fries with that? In Home Fries (Disc 1/Side B), Drew Barrymore plays an unwed mother-to-be and Burger-Matic employee who's the focus of attention of two offbeat brothers: one (Luke Wilson) who wants to marry her...one (Jake Busey) who wants to murder her. Next, Hugh Grant walks the wawk and talks the tawk as Mickey Blue Eyes (Disc 2). He becomes Noo Yawk's most unlikely mobster when his romance with a schoolteacher (Jeanne Tripplehorn) entangles him in the workings of her mob family (headed by James Caan).
