Rotten Tomatos only gives it a 10% with a average rating of 2.8 out of 10.
The one liners are epic!
The movie itself got bad towards the end.

The insults and ones liners out of DeNiro, etc are hilarious. Filthy and on point. The story itself is lame and I kind wrote my review before finishing it. It doesn't hold up towards the end.
It's not for everyone, it's my kinda humor and maybe not for all you stuck up fuckers , go watch the note book then. ac_razz

Anything with DeNiro is usually at least watchable.
He's made some semi-bombs lately, his "Deer Hunter" and "Good Fellas" days are behind him. But he is still a draw because even in a crappy film, you can still see that he loves his work. At least he didn't completely retire and drop off the face of acting the way Joe Pesci did.
Speaking of Pesci, I saw him in one of the local grocery stores recently. He owns a house and I think it's a full time residence, not that far from me in Lavallette. He also owns a boat and its docked at the same marina that my dad's is. Every once in a while he pops up at local stores and restaurants. He also went to the same HS as my mom but he graduated several years before her.

No I've never spoken with him and I'm not about to go running up to him and bother him either. I know people that have spoken to him and they say he comes across as very down to earth regular guy.
He's sort of a famous fixture here at the Jersey Shore. Even when he was active in Hollywood he was here a lot. Once a Jersey native.....always a Jersey native. Not exactly sure if that's good or bad. :laugh3:
Maybe it is not a good idea to go running up to him..
He might have you whacked.

I agree, any movie with De Niro in it is watchable.
Ya, Pesci has kind of disappeared. I liked a lot of his work. He was born to play a gangster.

The only movie I cared for Joe Pesci at all in was My Cousin Vinny cause Marisa Tomei was gorgeous. His "Two Yutes" line was funny.

He plays a good stereotypical little, psycho, tough guy, Italian. I'm very familiar with the type. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm related to a few of that breed on my mom's side. They can be your best friend one day and want to kill you the next for some perceived insult, real or not.
They are difficult people to deal with. But that's that east coast NY/NJ Italian tough guy persona. That shits you see in movies is not all that much of an exaggeration.

I am part Italian and my Italian side of the family was, as rumors go, connected. My Italian side was always big men like Luca Bratzi.. over 6'5" and over 250lbs. Strongarm hood types, and mean. THAT is the kind of hoods I equate with Italians. Joe Pesci would not even make a sandwich for those kinds of people.

It's a matter of perspective. Either way it's more a matter of attitude and capacity for violence than physical size. If you look at a lot of the so-called "Dons" like Carlo Gambino, Joe Bonanno or (Little) Nicky Scarfo; none of them were what you would call physically imposing. They were just fucking ruthless, vicious and unafraid to get elbow deep in blood. They employed the big strong arm types to do the grunt work but they themselves were no less mean and violence prone.

Indeed. My father was a very volatile person, one you did not want to mess with. He was a three-time Golden Gloves Champ for the city of Toledo in his weight class, and while I outweighed him by a good 35 pounds in my younger days of muscle and youth, I never once thought to back talk him. Well, I THOUGHT about it, but was not stupid enough to do it. He always gave me a standing invite to go out back with him if I felt froggy, but I never jumped. LOL.. Mamma didn't raise a fool.

I think a lot of us had been in that position....Unfortunately for me I was THAT stupid....once. l was 16 and my dad had just retrieved me from a night in jail (long story) and being the hard headed, smart mouthed, bitch that I was (still am), I pushed him waaay too far and got knocked ass over tea kettle.
For a minute I thought I was actually dead. Never forgot it and it provided a much needed attitude adjustment. :laugh3:
As adults we can laugh about it now but back when it took place it was pretty traumatic all the way around. I'm one of three sibs and I'm the middle child. I'm also the only one he ever lost his temper with to the point of violence. I guess that speaks directly to what a horrible, button pushing, piece of shit I was. :laugh3:
