Johnny Dangerously


            The movie I remember being hilarious is less so in retrospect. The sight gags are boring and the content is a little ill conceived. We follow Johnny Dangerously (Did you know your last name is an adverb?) (played by Michael Keaton) as he turns to a life of crime with the Dundee gang headed by Jack Dundee (Peter Boyle) and along side his long time nemesis Danny Vermin.(Joe Piscopo). They are at war with Roman Moroni and fowl mouthed immigrant and crime boss.
            He turns to crime to save his Ma and put his brother through school, who eventually becomes the DA. As Johnny is planning to go legit he is framed for murder by Vermin. He must escape from Prison and clear his name, before Vermin kills his brother.
            Like I said, not as funny as I remember it, but still good for a laugh or two, and it’s not really anything compared to todays modern comedies, like Zoolander, or O Brother, Where art Thou? Anyways, I give it a 2, and it’s worth seeing.
