swearingen_ar This is very underrated movie! My cable company gave it only one Star out of five. The IMDb is only 6.2 stars out of ten. The acting is actually quite good. Maureen Stapleton is a hoot! Michael Keaton does a good job.This is not a serious,. dramatic movie. It is satire and as sub is excellently done!Just sit back and enjoy. Is is a fun movie!On an enjoyment scale this is 9. Okay, so it is not The Godfather, few are on that level. Pop a big bowl of popcorn, get some cold soda and then get ready for a great movie fargen movie night!

Mr-Fusion "Johnny Dangerously" is pretty much what you'd expect from a gangster movie spoof, but the jokes land way more often than the miss (i.e. seldom). It just benefits from a very likable sense of humor, due in large part to Michael Keaton's comic sensibilities. Mostly this is just an obscenely quotable movie, be it Joe Piscopo ("You shouldn't hang me on a hook, Johnny. My father hung me on a hook once. *Once*") or Moronie's murdering of the English language. And loads more from there. And let's not forget the "Your Testicles and You" segment.This is funny stuff, and it's a shame I never hear it talked about.7/10

mattressman_pdl As far as parody films go, there are few that are worth time and energy. but with a recent resurgence of horrid parodies such as Date Movie and The Comebacks, it is a breath of fresh air to come back and rediscover a truly funny farce like Johnny Dangerously.After his mother has no end of medical problems, little Johnny goes to work for the mob. What fallows is a series of gags, most of which work, there are, however, the occasional flops. But a foreign gangster who can't master the American language (profanity wise, at least), a rival gangster with a penchant for shooting his mouth off (...once!), a younger brother with the D.A. who is out to get Johhny Dangerously, and a hot young starlet hot for his affections have Johnny busy.And the viewer will be busy laughing, for the most part, as every gangster-movie cliché is skewered by a talented cast and decent writing.Not perfect by a long shot, but definitely good for a smile on a bad day.

endzoneartimis If your a fan of Airplane type movies this is a must see! Set in the 1920's and 30's Johnny Dangerously has not only great actors but great lines. "knock down dat wall,knock down dat wall and knock down dat #@$%#@$ wall." "You shouldn't hang me on a hook johnny" or "Sounds like Johnnys getting laid". Its definitely a spoof of the old James Cagney Movies and references them a lot. There's a great scene when Jhonnys walking down death row and has a priest set up for his escape. Listen closely to the fake priests readings, its pretty funny. Another great scene is when Dom Delauise plays the Pope. Watch his reaction to Johnny after he tips the Pope, a lot said without making a sound.I recommend this movie to all who love to laugh or are old movie buffs.
