TRIFLE

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was Jonathan Demme's

Married to the Mob (1988)

This is a trifle, a little weird; almost magical realism but not quite. But don't forget; a trifle is a great treat of a dessert.

The film has great performances by a host of 'beginning' actors—Matthew Modine, Michelle Pfieffer, Mercedes Ruehl, Oliver Platt, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack—and some of old timey ones—Dean Stockwell, Al Lewis. It is a lot of fun.

There is no point in discussing it. You just put the disc in and let it go. Take it away.

I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5 and be very happy that I saw it (again).
