Huston steers clear of slapstick cliché and keeps the comedy coming, right to its violently funny ending.

As usual, Turner works hard and manages to lend some conviction to a shoddily written part, but she can't connect with Nicholson, whose obscure hamminess leaves him isolated on some other planet.

Top CriticThis is the most bizarre comedy in many a month, a movie so dark, so cynical and so funny that perhaps only Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner could have kept straight faces during the love scenes.

Top CriticAs divertidas (e exageradas) performances de Nicholson e Hickey são o ponto alto deste filme apenas regular.

The film itself gets funnier, darker, and more complex as it goes along....

John Huston's dark, cynical comedy about the Mafia, one of his last pictures, suffers from the lack of chemistry between Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner, but Anjelica Huston is excellent in a well-deserving Oscar-winning turn.

Not one of Nicholson's best, but an enjoyable comedy nonetheless.

Widely considered a black comedy classic, Prizzi's Honor is dated today and, tragically, finally revealed as a middling work that wanders aimlessly and ends abruptly.

Dreadfully overrated black comedy from John Huston. Daughter Angelica is a rare stand-out.

Yes, it went a little too long, felt a little forced at times, began with one of the most unnecessary lengthy wedding scenes of all-time and ended on a note that simply didn't satisfy, but overall, I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
