Standout Aspects

Acting

Francis Blanche commits fully to this ridiculous premise.

Costume

Mobster cosplay on a clearly minimal budget.

Writing

The single most absurd organ-donation premise in cinema history.

Best for:Solo: When you want pure escapist nonsense nobody else will appreciate.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry to while barely paying attention.·Rewatch: Never. Once is already generous.
Heads up:Language: Some dated ethnic humor typical of 70s European comedy.
