There were plenty of Italian stereo types to choose from

The only reason this was watchable was Toni Colette

| Apr 24, 2024

So painfully, shockingly unfunny that I couldn’t help wonder whether Collette and Bellucci were either blackmailed into doing it or were paying off on a lost bet.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Mar 16, 2024

...a sitcom-like misfire that feels much longer than its 101 minutes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 30, 2023

…Mafia Mamma’s flaws aren’t hard to see, but as an undemanding evening time-passer, it just about reworks the old Bob Hope fish-out-of-water/American abroad trope to passable effect….

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 29, 2023

The romance is thin, the comedy lacking and the overall story is incredibly exaggerated but Mafia Mamma is a fun holiday for the mind.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 16, 2023

Bellucci looks as if she is thinking about something else in every scene. It isn’t long before you’re doing the same.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 15, 2023

Collette's comic timing is exemplary, and Monica Bellucci shines as the Cosa Nostra's ultra-cool consigliere, but a few faint-hearted viewers may be shocked by some of the more over-the-top violence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 26, 2023

The constant references to The Godfather and the characters’ utter disappointment in Kristin’s lack of knowledge of the film is a running gag, which might be exhausting to some viewers.

| Sep 8, 2023

Mafia Mamma doesn’t know how to blend elements into a seamless whole and that makes for a piece that has some exciting flashes but lacks the ability to weave together something that is interesting and sustainably entertaining.

| Sep 6, 2023

The blending of action and comedy for the most is inconsistent, and the film never nails either genre – unlike the gold standard, “The Spy Who Dumped Me” (2018), which delivered seamless action and laughs.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 16, 2023

The final result isn’t a felony of fail, but it is more than a misdemeanor of a missed opportunity.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 9, 2023

Mafia Mamma sustains itself on its funny Collette and Bellucci duet. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Mafia Mamma never quite manages to find the right tone, and instead gets bogged down in its attempt to be a dark comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 10, 2023

Even if nothing is even remotely believable, it's still undemanding fun.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 13, 2023

The running joke that nobody has seen The Godfather is an apt metaphor for everyone involved with this who have clearly not even seen any of the bad mob comedies that run roughshod over this violent, assault-filled wannabe.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jun 9, 2023

Mafia Mamma is a throwback to the turn of the century The Sopranos-inspired movie comedies like Analyze This and Mickey Blue Eyes. However, the script is too light on humor, too heavy on gratuitous violence, and too lazy on character cliches to enjoy.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 10, 2023

The juxtaposition of banality and extreme violence is supposed to be humorous, but it’s merely shrill and miscalculated, an attempt at farce that’s farcical in itself.

| May 4, 2023

...a silly screwball comedy attempt with Toni Collette giving an inept Lucille Ball imitation...Even with talent, it would take a thaumaturge to make something of this bunkum.

| Original Score: 3/10 | May 2, 2023

[Hardwicke] amasses little jokes as if they were innovative, loiters her story with the very same clichés she's trying to parody, and reduces her characters to stick figure sketches of predictable ideas... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 27, 2023
