Mafia Mamma follows an insecure American woman who unexpectedly inherits her grandfather’s mafia empire in Italy. Guided by the firm’s trusted consigliere, she hilariously defies everyone’s expectations, including her own, as the new head of the family business. (Bleecker Street Media)
Reviews (2)
A laid-back gangster comedy about how an ordinary woman becomes the head of a mafia family from one day to the next. Funny, well acted and swingingly Italian. However, the action is mediocre and it doesn't excel on any level, unfortunately, but it doesn't offend. Pure average.

I get that this was meant to be a farce, and I admit, I had a few good laughs. But I felt like the whole concept needed to push the envelope a bit more, maybe even venture into the brutal side of things and over-the-top humor. That didn't happen here. Toni Collette was mostly just painfully awkward, and the plot contrivances were more annoying than anything.
