Mafia!

Director:	Jim Abrahams
Writers:	Jim Abrahams, Greg Norberg and Michael McManus
Director of Photography:	Pierre Letarte
Editor:	Terry Stokes
Music:	John C. Frizzell
Production Designer:	William A. Elliot
Producers:	Peter Abrams and Bill Badalato
	Touchstone Pictures: PG-13; 86 minutes
Release:	7/98
Cast:	Christina Applegate, Lloyd Bridges, Billy Burke, Olympia Dukakis, Jason Fuchs, Pamela Gidley, Tony Lo Bianco and Jay Mohr

In this spoof of The Godfather, Mohr plays the son of a mob boss (Bridges) who must take over the family biz now that pop is on his deathbed. Applegate, as a mob wife, shows her flare for deadpan humor. But despite the cast's best comedic efforts, this is disappointingly dull stuff from Abrahams.
