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.

Review
Featured review
Excellent comedy, excellent cast
The charm of this movie is in the concept and perfect casting. Robert De Niro satirizes his past performances as a Mafia boss. And Billy Crystal as the unwitting psychiatrist who gets involved in the mess. It's truly funny and entertaining. The movie mostly benefits from very good direction by Harold Ramis and excellent performance by the actors and not just De Niro and Crystal.
The verdict: 4 of 5 stars.
