Mickey Blue Eyes is a 1999 comedy film directed by Kelly Makin, starring James Caan, Hugh Grant, and Jeanne Tripplehorn.Michael Felgate (Grant) is a bumbling, well-meaning Brit who's working in New York City for the Cromwell Auction House. Felgate unwittingly gets involved with the local Mob through his relationship and eventual wedding engagement with Gina Vitale (Tripplehorn), whose father Frank (Caan) is a mafia kingpin. By the time Felgate realizes what Frank's business really is, he's too much in love with Gina and already too deep within the Vitale Family to easily get out of trouble.

Mafia Princess: Gina is this to Frank and later to Michael. Unlike most examples, she tries to avoid her upbringing, working as a teacher and freaking out a little at Michael's proposal due to fear that it will get him immersed in the mob.

Distracted by the Sexy: Since Felgate is worried that Gina dumps him if she finds out that her dad's Mob is infiltrating the auction business, he then tries to pull this trope to keep her from seeing the evidence.

Department of Redundancy Department: Frank's business front is an Italian restaurant called The La Trattoria, The and La meaning the same thing in different languages. Possibly intentional, as the movie also ends on a "The The End".
