Jane Austen's Mafia! is a comedy film released in 1998 directed by Jim Abrahams. The movie is a takeoff on iconic gangster films such as The Godfather and Goodfellas.
The story follows the son of a mafia king, Anthony Cortino (Jay Mohr), who takes over the family business when his father (Lloyd Bridges) dies. Determined to clean up the family's reputation, Anthony decides to go straight and focus on legitimate business ventures.
However, his efforts are soon hindered by his father's longtime rival, the flamboyant mafia boss Vincenzo Cortino (Joe Viterelli), who wants to take over the family business. Anthony must navigate the deadly world of organized crime while trying to keep his friends and family safe.
The movie is filled with slapstick humor and parodies different aspects of mafia films, including the over-the-top performances and exaggerated violence. The film also features an all-star cast, including Christina Applegate, Olympia Dukakis, and Lloyd Bridges in his final role before his passing.
Overall, Jane Austen's Mafia! is a hilarious spoof of classic gangster movies that will have viewers laughing from beginning to end.
