Well, here
is a genuine Oldie. It was released in
1990 and starred Marlon Brando, Mathew Broderick, Bruno Kirby – and a very
large lizard. Brando, in a way, satirizes
his role as The Godfather, and generates a lot of chuckles thereby. Broderick is fine as a mystified and
misplaced yokel in the big city, Kirby is great as a would-be mafia sleaze ball
– too bad he died so early – and Penelope Ann Miller is suitably scrumptious. However, the movie belongs to Brando, and the
reptile. Just thinking about a Komodo
dragon loose in a mall makes me smile.
The
plot? Well, nothing much and entirely
preposterous, but what the heck. It certainly
beats watching the news on TV. C+
