Mafia! is the kind of movie that can never entirely fail, but can succeed to various degrees. It doesn't rank with Abraham's earlier efforts.

Audience Reviews for Jane Austen's Mafia!

May 13, 2012Pretty decent comedy that spoofs crime films. The cast here are pretty good, nothing ever special. The film does manage to bring on a few good laughs, but it's never anything memorable. This is a mindless comedy flick that you realize could have been better. For what it is, it's a good effort, but the result is far from striking. The film definitely makes you smile, as the comedic elements used are pretty stupid. If you want a perfect film to watch with friends, Mafia is the one. Though nothing ever great, this film is still entertaining for what it is. The cast do a decent job here, and despite its limitations, Mafia! Manages to be an entertaining film. Just don't expect anything truly great to come out of this film, as you may be disappointed. Jim Abrahams does a good job directing this film, even if it's not among his greatest comedic achievements, Mafia! Still has enough laughs to be an entertaining flick to watch. The comedic elements aren't too original or clever, but it still manages to be mild fun. As a comedy, Mafia! Does work, even though it's not perfect. The comedy is decent and fun, but overall there also could have been more effort put into this film. As a spoof film, Mafia! Is one of the last spoof films to really be fun to watch, afterwards we had the countless Scary movie clones that would be awful to watch. Despite its faults, Mafia! Is good fun, and a decent flick to watch. I liked the film and felt it brought on good to decent laughs, but at the same time it needed something more to put it in the same league as other classic spoof films such as Airplane! and Hot Shots!Alex r Super Reviewer

Jun 09, 2011This is supposed to be a spoof of "The Godfather", other mafia-based movies, & some other film with with Robert DeNiro. Only, it's on the level of 'so retarded, its funny'. This movie WAS retarded, but it was worth my time wasting on, & I had some laughs to it. The major problem other than how retarded it is, is that most of the time it doesn't try to make sense out of itself. But hey, it's better than anything Aaron Seltzer & Jason Friedberg has made. So that's kinda my review for this. Most of you should know I can't really review a movie that is retarded, but when it's so bad of how retarded it is, I can review for hours (House of the Dead). So you may like it, you may not. But for those who want a well written, & non-parody movie, this is not or you.Frisby 2 Super Reviewer

Nov 06, 2009I was really looking forward to seeing this film last night as I am a huge fan of the Airplanes, Hot Shots, Police Squads, Naked Guns and Top Secret. I found this on lovefilm and thought - why have i never heard of this? I haven't laughed this hard for ages. I admire the filmmakers so much for being so clever and entertaining. The production values are really high as well, everything looks quality and well made. Older films like Airplane etc can look cheap but it adds to their charm, so it was nice to see this modern film which was hardly a blockbuster, made so well and looking like the budget was much higher. Of course not every joke tickled my funny bone, I could have done without the farting, spewing and when Lloyd Bridges get shot up but people think he's dancing. But apart from that I found it absolutely hilarious and I can't wait to see it again. Jay Mohr is so great - if you can, watch Action. It's a TV series he did, only one series but it's soooo good! Really funny and totally uncheesy like all American sitcoms feel they have to be. It's about a Hollywood producer. Anyway, back to Mafia. The writers have worked so hard, not only on the script but the visual gags, injokes and references. I love spotting a funny poster, or something in the credits. Everyone has put so much effort into making this movie the best and the funniest it could be. I was stunned by the low rating but hey, different strokes for different folks. If you are reading the comments, deciding whether or not to rent/buy this movie, I definitely think you should - especially if you are a fan of Airplane,Top Secret, Police Squad, Naked Gun, Police Academy and Hot Shots. Fun Fact! Actor Jay Mohr is allergic to poi What the hell is poi?Cassandra M Super Reviewer
