Corky Romano (2001)
mildly funny, Kattan goes well as a goofball
7 October 2004
The best aspect of this film is the cast. Familiar faces like Peter Falk and Chris Penn that just have that crime family look about them give it some class. Chris Kattan makes an excellent idiot but sometimes is too predictable in his stupidity, meaning what he does isn't as funny as it could be. However there are still some moments where its pretty obvious whats going to happen but it turns out funny anyway. For example trying to translate Vietnamese. Aside from Corky's actions there were lots of other things I didn't see coming. Some don't even have an impact on the story but still result in funny moments. It seems the first three quarters of the film was made up off the cuff with some pretty standard comedy scenes. I think they may have hired a writer for the last part though: it gets funnier and the plot thickens and resolves nicely.
