She plays a regular mom who travels to Italy for her grandfather's funeral, only to discover that he's left her in charge of his mafia operations. The concept has potential and director Catherine Hardwicke has thrown as much comic energy as she can muster.

The acting is good and the female-centered writing and plot is refreshing. There are plenty of similar and even worse films than this with male leads with much more favorable ratings. Is this movie of the year or even the month? Of course not, but it is not objectively bad and as someone who watches movies on a near weekly basis, I enjoyed it and was happy I gave it a chance.… Expand

At first, the humor was repetitive. However, became genuinely enjoyable to see character development. Which is something unexpected.
