Friends and Romans

All the wiseguy partime movie extras from nj fight being stereotyped as mafiosi . Meanwhile one of the guys gets the idea to put on a shakespeare play, julius ceasar to proved to himself that he's got some chops beyond used car commercials, and to maybe connect with his teenage daughter who's trying out for the school play.

Things take a farcical turn with mistaken identities, secret mob bosses, informants and an undercover agent all getting parts in the play, meanwhile the daughter gets the role of her dreams at school because the drama teacher thinks italian daddy is the wiseguy he plays as an extra.

There's mayhem, and in the performance of ceasar, no one at the community theater notices the guys with radio earpieces and track suits, but the friends romans soliloquy gets a a new interpretation that saves the day and the movie.

It teeters on the edge of corniness but through the strength of the cast- several major or minor characters from The Sopranos and annabella scorria it exceeds expectations.
