37th Worst Movie: Corky Romano

“Corky Romano” Starring Chris Kattan, Vinessa Shaw and Peter Falk
Directed by Robb Pritts

Corky Ain’t No Ray
By Michele Dillon

I can honestly say I thought this movie would be a lot worse than it actually was. I am a fan of Chris Kattan, but only as part of SNL (before you get all mad, Night at the Roxbury was an SNL production based off of SNL characters so I still considered that SNL). I don’t think he should ever have left the show…was that to start a movie career? Because if it was, then it was a horrible decision.

So Corky Romano is in a family who is part of the mob but he was disowned a long time ago since he wanted to be a veterinarian. He gets brought back into the business when his family wants to use him to infiltrate the FBI in order to get back some incriminating evidence (Corky is the only one in the family who is not recognized by the FBI). Since Corky is such an all around doofus and klutz, this becomes difficult….forming what this director/production company thought was a funny and amazing plot. I can admit that I may have had a half of a smile on through about 4 minutes of the movie and that the plot wasn’t amazing but it had potential…I definitely do not name this as the worst movie I have watched out of the bunch so far based solely on the fact that Kattan has comedic chops that cannot be denied.

I tried really hard to think of anything else to say about this movie, but I must be off my game…nothing comes to mind other than MANGO!!
