    ★★★★

    Gangster romp about navigating family and 'business' difficulties.

    Superb storytelling spun at a comfortable place that allows intrigue and mellow tension to build and reward.

    Top cast provide characters that do not demand favouritism yet deal emotional pain when they come to misfortune, despite their own dirty dealings.

    Dark interior cinematography partnered with the light yet jaundice Sicilian scenes serve to complete a fantastic film.

    ★★★

    Straightforward late 20th century comedy. Enjoyed the friction between the pair and the use of Christmas themes in a different context (Thanksgiving). Decision to have a difficult to like Scrooge-esque protagonist battling against time and chance to make it back home in time for the holidays, dependent always on the good nature of John Candy's character was a welcome change to other 'buddy comedies'.
