Mobster comedy that overdoes the Italian sauce on the belabored pizza of a plot about a would-be writer who decides on gaining experience by joining his local wiseguys on the job. Overbearing in its clichéd characters with actors who only rely on overdone mannerisms. There are a few known players in it but to little effect. Hall has a blink-and-you-miss-him bit and Buscemi is unbilled.
