Movie Info
Michelle Pfeiffer is Married to the Mob in this comedy. The wife of Mafia hitman Alec Baldwin, Pfeiffer regularly chastizes her husband for his underhanded line of work. Baldwin refuses to entertain any thoughts of quitting the mob-and besides, he's got a good thing going with Nancy Travis, the promiscuous girl friend of gang boss Dean Stockwell. When Stockwell catches on to Travis' peccadilloes, he murders both his mistress and the unlucky Baldwin. At Baldwin's funeral, Stockwell is overwhelmed

All Critics (33) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (30) | Rotten (3) | DVD (7)
Pfeiffer is at her best, and there's plenty of action, although you may feel that some of the gags involving a scorned and vengeful wife (Mercedes Ruehl) are a bit shopworn.
Top CriticThe enormous cast is a total delight, starting with Pfeiffer, with hair dyed dark, a New York accent and a continuously nervous edge.
Amazingly, for all its hip anarchy, it's finally an oddly old-fashioned slice of entertainment. Preston Sturges might have approved.
Miss Pfeiffer, who looks utterly ravishing in outfits that set the teeth on edge, turns Angela's plight into something funny, but she seems eminently sane even when the movie does not.
Demme keeps his characters (scripted by Barry Strugatz and Mark R. Burns) from wandering into the Buffoon Zone.
A mix of goofy ethnicity, romance and self-discovery, "Married to the Mob" is an offer you can't refuse.
A gangster film with a twist and the idiosyncratic Demme touch.
A fluffy but entertaining comedy.
A lot of fun to watch, thanks to a darn sturdy cast and a director with a sublime ability to make fluff seem deeper than it really is.
Irresistible
Everything in it is wonderfully right.
Unconventional romantic comedy with a slap and a tickle.
Pfeiffer is superb in a delightful farce
Pfeiffer is outstanding.
A light-hearted comedy about one woman's dream to remake her life
