The great shame is that this mess belongs to director Amy Heckerling, whose gentle touch made "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" so much more than a teen sex comedy.

The opening scenes of Johnny Dangerously are so funny you just don't see how they can keep it up. And you're right: They can't. But they make a real try.

Keaton in starring role helps, but overall average laughs.

Audience Reviews for Johnny Dangerously

Apr 28, 2020Directed by Amy Heckerling, here is a quick-witted huckster that gently elbows 1930s gangster film tropes. But although there is plenty going on, like the inclusion of star cameos, modern-day humorous references and lots of running gags, still a lot of the work - as humor can do over time - falls flat or is simply plain corny. It's not a tired work though.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Mar 16, 2014A fun and entertaining spoof of the gangster genre, Johnny Dangerously pulls no punches. The story follows a kid named Johnny who joins a New York crime syndicate and rises to the top, but when his brother becomes a D.A. Johnny is forced to choose between his crime family and his blood family. Starring Michael Keaton, Peter Boyle, Joe Piscopo, Marilu Henner, and Danny DeVito, the film has a strong cast and they deliver some good performances. The slapstick and sight gags are also pretty well-done, though not all of the comedy works. The plot's a little weak too, but as far as parody films go Johnny Dangerously is one of the better one of the '80s.Dann M Super Reviewer

Feb 15, 2013So funny and entertaining, I really enjoyed it, even if some parts were a little too ridiculous. Most of the time this is a very cool movie. It is a spoof of 30s-40s gangster and film noir movies. If you like those movies, check this out.Aj V Super Reviewer

Jun 13, 2009A little-known 80's comedy that me and my family find quite funny...lots of quoteable lines here.Jared H Super Reviewer
