Smokin' Stogies

'Smokin' Stogies' (2000) - Vincent Di Rosa.

"My father told me there are only two things you say to a broad, get over here! And get outta here!"

Tony Sirico and Frank Vincent do their ubiquitous bad guy schtick in this goofy goombah crime caper about a stolen shipment of stolen shipment of Cuban contraband cigars. In truth, I'm not too sure what to make of Di Rosa's sporadically mirthsome mafia gorgonzola-fest. Some of it is pretty funny, the accents are straight out of a crackerjack box, and the more noisome expletive bants are pretty funny, so, fuhggeddabouditt!!!!!! I give 'Goofyfellas' a thumbs up...ya' mamas ass!!!!!!!!!!

I seen this movie at the Made in Miami Film and Video Festival, and it was great! Lot's of funny characters, and very funny. I'm a big fan of dark comedies and adventures and this one was better than I expected. The movie was shot all in south Florida and looks great, I thought it was one of the best polished film at the festival. I read in the paper a few day's later the movie picked up a Best Comedy Feature Film Award. I will be sure to pick up a DVD when the movie is released. I think writer director Vincent Di Rosa did a great job on his first feature film.
