Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This 1998 Direct-to-Video comedy shows what happens when Bob Hoge directs a gangster movie in a manner akin to the Zucker brothers.The film begins as Sunny Calzone (Hoge), the #1 son in a mafia family, has a passionate love scene interrupted by a bunch of assassins. After being shot repeatedly, run over, attacked by a raptor, and nearly blown up by a car bomb, Sunny ends up tripping over his shoelaces and knocking his head against a fire hydrant.Cut ahead to Sunny's funeral, where we are introduced to the film's protagonist: Giuseppe "The Guppy" Calzone (Kevin McDonald), the family's #3 son. As his oldest brother is now dead, and the #2 son has been banished for committing an unthinkable act, it is his job to take up his ailing father's (Dom De Luise) position and lead the Calzone crime family into a new era. Along the way, he must deal with problems such as bankruptcy, the CIA, and a rival mafia family headed by the Rodfather (Rodney Dangerfield) that wants to bring the Calzones to their knees.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Not to be confused with the french crime picture Le Samouraï, which was re-titled "The Godson" in some American markets''. | |
