Eat Pray Love Meets The Godfather in The Toni Collette Dark Comedy ‘Mafia Mamma’
The action comedy Mafia Mamma has a darkly wicked gleam in its eye from the opening, and thank goodness the movie never loses that sparkle as its lead transitions from fish out of water to shark.
A star of Toni Collette’s caliber would’ve kept things entertaining regardless, but Mafia Mamma is fully aware that a lack of originality is part of the point. We’ve seen this story before, but this time the novelty lies in the fact that the wronged wife is the one closing the door on the men even after she’s packing them trail mix for their trip. Just don’t ask about her business.
