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. However, the script simply isn't funny and the characters aren't quirky enough to generate laughs. Collette's performance is non-stop frantic, desperately trying to make comedy, but her efforts fall flat…just like the whole film. Expand

Toni Collette was awesome in this. The rest of the acting was very scattered and uneven, the shootout scenes were some of the worst I've seen in a while. But it maintains its charm and easy tone throughout.

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.

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