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. Full Review |

A blackly comic and insidiously sly love story in the unforgiving underworld of mob families and freelance criminals... Full Review |

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

John Huston's Prizzi's Honor packs love, sex, and murder -- and dark comedy -- into a labyrinthine tale. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

3.5/4 |
This 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. Full Review |

A black comedy about an ill-fated love affair and the nasty politics of a criminal clan. Full Review |

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