All of which is topped off by Demme's playful direction that give this movie a light, whimsical tone that balances the laughs, the heart, and the thrills.

8/10

Then you get Dean Stockwell as the charming but ruthless mob boss just soaking up his roll with a grounded humor. The ensemble cast shines; the pace is tight, the soundtrack filled with 80s pop tunes gives the movie plenty of energy to complement the playful theme of this story.
