Ratings and reviews

This hasn't aged too well and the pacing is pretty clunky, but the script is clever and wonderful performances from a great cast save this comedic take on the Henry Hill story (Goodfellas). Plus I'm biased because parts were shot near my hometown (people familiar with SLO County, California should recognize a landmark or two). But there's WAY too much dancing for a mob story. Come on.

I only have one rule: buy My Blue Heaven in every format and make sure to buy more than one just in case I want to watch it more than once. One of my favorites growing up. Everyone in my family quotes this movie. Good wholesome comedy. If you are an Italian American and haven't seen this, you are missing out.

This is one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. No matter how many times I've seen it, I can't help but laugh.
