RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Mr-Fusion "Johnny Dangerously" is pretty much what you'd expect from a gangster movie spoof, but the jokes land way more often than the miss (i.e. seldom). It just benefits from a very likable sense of humor, due in large part to Michael Keaton's comic sensibilities. Mostly this is just an obscenely quotable movie, be it Joe Piscopo ("You shouldn't hang me on a hook, Johnny. My father hung me on a hook once. *Once*") or Moronie's murdering of the English language. And loads more from there. And let's not forget the "Your Testicles and You" segment.This is funny stuff, and it's a shame I never hear it talked about.7/10
mattressman_pdl As far as parody films go, there are few that are worth time and energy. but with a recent resurgence of horrid parodies such as Date Movie and The Comebacks, it is a breath of fresh air to come back and rediscover a truly funny farce like Johnny Dangerously.After his mother has no end of medical problems, little Johnny goes to work for the mob. What fallows is a series of gags, most of which work, there are, however, the occasional flops. But a foreign gangster who can't master the American language (profanity wise, at least), a rival gangster with a penchant for shooting his mouth off (...once!), a younger brother with the D.A. who is out to get Johhny Dangerously, and a hot young starlet hot for his affections have Johnny busy.And the viewer will be busy laughing, for the most part, as every gangster-movie cliché is skewered by a talented cast and decent writing.Not perfect by a long shot, but definitely good for a smile on a bad day.
drsatan_demon even though this movie is quite old, no matter how many times i watch it, it still makes me laugh. one particular quote in the movie stands out. when Danny( Joe Piscopo) pulls up to the d.a's office & parks in a disabled spot, Danny's partner says " can't park here, it's for the handicapped". Danny replies " i am handicapped,i'm psychotic".that is one of the many lines in the movie that no matter how many times you watch, it'll make you chuckle.Johnny Dangerously stands in my top 5 comedy/spoof movies of all time.As an added bonus it also includes the legendary actor Peter Boyle in the cast. So watch this movie & like myself & many others who have watched it, you'll be hooked.
PWNYCNY What ever happened to Michael Keaton? What a great actor and he proves it in this movie. This movie is actually FUNNY! And the reason why this movie is funny is for two reasons: an excellent script and Michael Keaton. This movie is one of the funniest comedies in the history of Hollywood. This movie is the ultimate spoof of gangster movies. In this movie, Hollywood actually pokes fun at itself by using the the gangster movie genre as the basis for a truly original comedy. The rest of the cast is funny too, especially the supporting cast. If you like to laugh and want to watch a movie that contains nonstop humor, then this movie is for you.
