The Godson (1998)

My Rating

Movie Info

This satire on mafia pictures tells the story of the Calzones, a mob family having some troubles (including a serious lack of smarts). Guiseppe Calzone, aka "The Guppy," has taken over the family business after his older brother dies, but his aging father realizes he's not the right man for the position. Dad ships Guiseppe off to Mafia University, but leaders of other crime families see this as an opportunity to move in, and soon an all-out war breaks out. The Godson stars Rodney Dangerfield,

Dangerfield and DeLuise are two of my favorite funnymen, but this is so bad I turned it off halfway through.

Audience Reviews for The Godson

A cute parody on the Godfather. It has its moments, some jokes are good. Dangerfield and the kid from New Kids On The Block carry the film. But not to far.

If you haven't seen this. It is hilarious. It's definitely one of the best spoof films I've ever seen. Worth looking into.
