This stupid spoof of organized crime is about as appealing as week-old spaghetti.

Audience Reviews for The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight

To be fair it was pretty funny but it had an anti-climactic ending,funny seeing De Niro that young, good comedy.

Relatively unsuccessful on most levels and boasts some of the most irritating characters I've come across in a while. Would have been helped by more focus on the relationship between De Niro and Taylor-Young. Overall, not terrible... just not very good either.
