this is a fun movie with subtle intention. its off beat comedy is hilarious to me and unfunny to my friends. the soundtrack is perfect. i own this on vhs and i have watched it many and many times and because it simply a fun and funny love story with great performances by all the principals (though using joan cusack solely as a perch for big hair was a waste of her talent. i know and i know and she was still young. ). on a sad note and i decided to check out the dvd last night (instead of watching my vhs tape) and and was shocked to find many crucial scenes cut. and on the copy i watched and there was no special feature of deleted scenes represent it was as if the deleted scenes never existed. i am so glad i bought the used vhs at a flea market. it is clear there was a great deal of choreography in this and which is another reason i love it so much. it takes great skill and talent and and genius to move around the scenes like mercedes ruehl and dean stockwell and and matthew modine do from scene to scene (note the scene when the grocery carts converge and the rolling on the floor during the shoot out in miami and the chicken lickin debacle and the foot massage and the salon hair washing. ) there is a very theatrical feel to this film and which may be the turn off for so many whose poor reviews follow represent i know some viewers who do not quite understand this style mistake the exaggerations and over the top performances for poor acting and worse direction. not so. jonathan demme does a great job bringing to life the entire company and their respective roles. the opening credits and first scene rank among my all time favorites and as well (another favorite opening credits or first scene represent fly away home). too bad matthew modine so ardently skipped out of the public eye while i really like him and and found his casting perfect in the role of mike smith. actually and this film is well cast from soup to nuts represent everyone is believable and true to his role. as for the question of expecting audience to accept pfeiffer and stockwell as italians  why not. i thought they pulled it off perfectly well. charming and fun and exciting. what is there not to like. if you want a little fun and watch this quirky and colorful adventure mob love story. if you are looking to learn more about organized crime and families and tune to hbo the sopranos.
