Movie Reviews of My Blue Heaven
Movie Review: An exceptional movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I came to this movie a couple of years after it was released and I'm glad I did. It is outstanding - excellent cast, great soundtrack and visual imagery of San Diego that is outstanding. Rick Moranis is outstanding as a straight arrow FBI agent tasked with controlling a mobster (Steve Martine) who is now in the witness protection program. This ex-mobster is trying, with mixed success,to settle unobtrusively into suburban California where the marinara is mediocre and every crime is a felony. And so it goes from there. Martin crosses paths with Joan Cusack and his critique of her clothing is priceless. Later Moranis and Cusack likewise cross paths as Moranis gets Martin released from custody, to Cusack's fury. There are laughs and sight gags galore in this movie. The gallery of character actors give this film great depth and add tremendously to the humor quotent as they assist Martin as he settles down to the good life (until after he testifies) of a member of the witness protection program.
I have mixed memories of this movie as on the day my father died, we needed something to entertain my niece and nephew while my family was going through my father's effects. This was the movie we chose and after a little while we were all gathered around the screen watching and laughing. Now whenever I think back on my dad's death, I also remember the sanity saving humor of My Blue Heavan as it helped us through the grieving process. For this, if nothing else, I recommend it without reservation.
Summary of My Blue Heaven
A comedy about a government witness who gives suburbia a culture shock. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/01/2004 Starring: Steve Martin Joan Cusack Run time: 95 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Herbert RossThe idea is clever but the movie can't seem to pull its comic weight: Steve Martin plays a mob informer who is placed in the witness-protection program and doesn't fit into the suburban California life the Feds have picked out for him. Rick Moranis is the FBI agent assigned to protect him. Martin mugs his way through the role of an Italian wise guy from the New York streets, but his performance is never more than an impersonation. The script leaves a lot to be desired, as well. Director Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) brings some gloss to the production, but he can't seem to do much else with the material. --Tom Keogh
