Reviews for Mickey Blue Eyes
This is a movie that takes Hugh’s charm as a granted and makes a good argument for its point of view.
The characters are simply not defined well enough to get the comedy going.
Any film that has twenty minutes in which the only humor stems from Hugh Grant's inability to say such Mafioso terms as 'fuggedaboutit'--that is a movie with problems.
In at least one way, Mickey Blue Eyes is also vastly superior to Analyze This -- it really never romanticizes, glamorizes or trivializes the Mafia.
