 | I must be honest; I might not have given this movie the chance it deserved. I could only bear about 40 minutes of it before I quit watching. I'm really not sure under which genre this film falls. I love black/dark comedy, but to be considered a comedy there has to be humor. I love drama, but this movie is too slow to spark thought or emotion. As a fan of Jack, this dated flick is a huge disappointment. Save your time and money and leave this one on the "shelf." |

| This is a bad movie -- slow, poorly directed, indifferently acted, and mostly unfunny. Any episode of "The Sopranos" has more to offer Mob movie fans and aficionados of black humor.
Raised a star for Anjelica Huston, who delivers far and away the best performance in the film. |

| This movie was good and I liked the majority of it and thought Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner were both great and so was Angelica Huston but I didn't like the ending, I have to agree with the guy who said it just ended, it ended rather abrubtly and just seemed so unfinished. But that is my opinion. |

| OMG John Huston was great in Chinatown
and he was great by directing this movie
awesome man
Jack play Charlie Partanna is cool
He reminded me of this one Italian friend of mine
good use of the times and clothes too in many shots
the movie was interesting
sad in some parts
but hooked me all the way thru
have it on dvd and am glad I saw it
go rent this one
The ending is what really interested me
It's a dark comedy so to speak if you want to put it that way
but there are laughs and touching moments in it

| The Prizzi's are the second best (celluloid) Mafia family ever to come out of New York. The script is a masterwork, the best line deadpanned by Nicholson to John Randolph: "I didn't get married so my wife could go on working (in Brooklynese, it comes out "woiking")." William Hickey, frail, onion skinned, gravel voiced is unforgettable as Don Corrado Prizzi (lovingly called Padrino <Godfather> by Jack's Charlie Partanna). The Oscar won by Angelica Houston was richly deserved in what was her great father's next to last film. |
