Johnny Dangerously Overviews
In Amy Heckerling's hilarious send-up of 1930s gangster films, Michael Keaton stars as Johnny Dangerously, a devoted son who turns to a life of crime in order to pay for his mother's operation. As a dapper kingpin, he manages to provide support for her never-ending medical problems while romancing a steamy torch singer (Marilu Henner), battling arch-rival Danny Vermin (Joe Piscopo) and exposing a corrupt D.A. (Danny DeVito). It's a zany, wild spoof that's riddled with as many gags as bullet holes.

Johnny Dangerously Specifications
This dispensable 1984 comedy is a mostly humorless parody of '30s gangster movies, the kind of thing that might work reasonably well in a five-minute sketch on Saturday Night Live but which nearly beats a viewer to death over the course of a feature. Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo play rival Mafia bosses, but once the novelty of that is introduced, it's already old. There's plenty of sustained effort from the rest of the cast (Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, Maureen Stapleton), with Griffin Dunne getting special points. Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) directs as if this were indeed on television. --Tom Keogh
Johnny Dangerously CustomerReview
This movie is so dumb, yet so amusing. It's a fun little movie with silly gag after silly gag. Maureen Stapleton as Ma Kelly is a riot. "Bless the saints, it's an ashtray! I've been thinking of taking up smoking. This clinches it!"
If you like silly-laugh-out-loud humor...you will like this one. Michael Keaton was so young in this film, but he could already carry a movie.
