Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was very important to Robert De Niro that the movie felt authentic. He and director Harold Ramis would drive around Little Italy in New York City looking for real people to cast.
- GoofsFBI agents are shown participating in the 1957 Appalachian raid. In that year, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI's policy was that the Mafia did not exist, so no federal agents were involved in the raid, which was conducted by New York state troopers only.

Robert De Niro, as usual, is excellent and once again surprises viewers with his comedic talent. He plays a mobster (familiar territory) but one who needs psychiatric help. He's hilarious when he's crying! His "shrink" is played by Billy Crystal, in an untypical low-key character role. My favorite in this film was Joe Viterelli, the fat guy-mobster who has a few very funny lines. Viterelli is one of these guys you see in a ton of gangster movies and is always interesting.
The female lead in here, Lisa Kudrow ("Laura") was not appealing to me, character-wise. Overall, a funny movie and much better than the sequel.
