MY BLUE HEAVEN ( 1990 )
My Blue Heaven (1990)
Starring: Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, Joan Cusack
Directed by: Herbert Ross ( that guy from 'Footloose' )
Script: Nora Ephron ( that lady from 'When Harry met Sally' )
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT:
A 10000 $ suit mobster from New York ( Steve Martin ) is forced to move into a tiny quiet pisshole somewhere in California after taking part in the witness protection program.
Bored by his new life and way too accustomed to his past activities he will do everything to change this place into a city "worth" living in... and the uptight FBI guardsman ( Rick Moranis ) go mad at the same time!
To Watch it or Not... This is a Question!
WATCH I'd say. It's not as good as it could be, but still worth Your time, and not just once!
It has some flaws and some strong points.
Surprisingly, even to myself, one of the worst thing in it is... Rick Moranis! A great comedy actor, one of my big favorites to say more, is just clearly in the wrong place and doesn't realy fit well in the role of and FBI agent.
But... Steve Martin on the other hand! Haaaay! You gotta seem that show of his. And his great hair too! He's absolutely the driving force behind the whole thing and steals the show.
Well, it Steve Martin's every day job to make as happy and chear for a little.
And he succeds perfectly. He's over the top obviously as it's just the way his character written and supposed to be played.
But. It still doesn't change the fact that the movie itself had more potential.
Especially with that great cast.
Verdict:... do You even need a Verdict?
Go AND WATCH IT. I promise You will have more than few laughs and enjoy, and have might come back to view it sooner or later.
I did :)
