The story of what happens when the FBI pretends to make a movie to catch the mob is true. The film thats been made from the tale is at times very very funny. The problem is that some odd acting choices lessen the humor of what should have been a much funnier movie. Matthew Broderick, for example, seems to have been stuck in his stage role from the Producers and comes off as an annoying nebish, at least to me. This isn't to say that the film isn't funny. It is. This is a film that contains many smiles and many laughs and really deserves to be seen. The problem is that through a good portion of this film you keep wondering why this isn't better. I have no answers. Still its definitely worth seeing, with my rating of six out of ten coming more out of disappointment than lack of quality. A really good "lost" film.
