Watched it last night, as a matter of fact. Thought it was hilarious. Loved Dennis Farina as Ray "Bones".
Funny as hell. lol
It was definitely a satire on Hollywood, not a mob pic. It was funny to see Gene Hackman play a total idiot tho.
BTW, don't you think Travolta would play a great straight-up mobster in a serious mafia movie? I wonder why he's never done it before?

He is gonna play John Gotti in a film which is produced by Gotti's son.

I don't count it as a mob movie, it has 2 mobsters in the whole thing.

Elmore Leonard is a great writer but it never seems to quite translate onto the screen as well. Get Shorty is one of those movies I want to like, I think I should like, but I just don't. Out of Sight is better.



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
