Get Outta da House Cinema 2023 - Mafia Mamma

Mafia Mamma was my ANZAC Day film escape!

Based on an original story by Amanda Sthers, starring Aussie legend, Toni Collette as an American woman who travels to Italy following the death of her grandfather, who she finds out was a mafia Don. Monica Bellucci plus Sophia Nomvete also star.

The film has a really bad Rotten Tomatoes rating, while also not taking in the biggest box office, however it's damn fun! The story goes...

Middle-aged writer Kristin is dealing with her son leaving for college, her sexist boss, and her recently discovered unfaithful husband. During this difficult time, Bianca, her estranged grandfather's trusted advisor, contacts her with news that he has passed away and she must attend his funeral in Italy. 

Despite initial hesitation, Kristin is convinced by her friend Jenny, who is an outspoken lawyer, that this trip could be just what she needs to start healing herself. However, things take a turn for the worse when the funeral transforms into a violent gunfight, and Kristin discovers that her grandfather wished for her, his last living descendant, to assume the role of boss for the most powerful Mafia family in Calabria.

I really enjoyed this little film. It's gets to the point at under 2 hours. Has fart jokes, Collette shining along with some amazing scenes around Italy.

Look this is a leave your brain at the door. Sit back and enjoy, 4 Star fun ass film!

After sitting through Ghosted at home, this is how it is done. Worth the trip to Burwood on the train on a public holiday.

Limited sessions remaining so get it or wait till it's streaming. Also maybe US critics didn't like how many times the Italians made fun of Americans. Well come on America it's not hard with folks like Tucker Carlson coming out of the States, right?

Till next time!
