Bad Writing, Worse Acting

Rating: 5/10 (18 July 2005)

The plot is basically silly, but nothing can be worse than Sofia Coppola's acting, though Joe Montegna gives it a shot. How's this for a line, "My lucky coat, my lucky coat, ahh" (riddled with bullets). The Godfather and the Godfather Part II are two of my all-time favorite movies. That this schlock is lumped with the first two works of art broke my heart. The legend of Michael Corleone certainly needed to be continued, if not finalized. After a 16 year wait, one would think Puzo and Coppola would have done better. Every high school auditorium in America regularly sees better performances by 10th graders than Sofia Coppola gives here. To say I was disappointed doesn't begin to describe my feelings. Can you tell?
