"Rocco the rum-runner rubbed out Rico the Rat with his roscoe for robbing his rum-running receipts."

This came out 31 yrs ago? Dang I'm getting old,,,

In this comedy Sly portrays Angelo "Snaps" Provolone, a 1930s gangster who has decided to go straight after making a deathbed promise to his father to stop engaging in the "gangster" business. The majority of the movie takes place during one day at the Provolone's residence, where Snaps lives with his wife Sofia, and their daughter Lisa. The planned schedule for the day was for Snaps to meet with his tailors, elecution teacher, and then with the board of bank reps that he's looking to get into business with,, however, the day doesn't go quite as planned.

We see Snaps Provolone dealing with - An embezzling accountant / a spoiled, whiny 18 yr old daughter / a house of mafia henchmen turned into household servants / a world traveling elecution teacher / an upset wife / police surveillance from across the street / a priest who witnessed the deathbed promise to his father / a maid that quits to marry the young man Snaps had his heart set on Lisa marrying / an army bound former chauffeur / a former flame turned maid for hire / a snooty set of banker tycoons / a rival mafia family looking to take him out / a set of italian brothers who tailor / and a bag full of women's lingerie,,, it's a mad house!!! Lol 😆 Snaps' day gets all mixed up in the most hilarious ways possible. Stallone and the incredible supporting cast (really incredible cast!!) brings the lols in a big way with this early 90s comedy. I love this movie. I have no clue about the play this is based on,, but I'd love to see that as well. I'd give it a 7.4 rating!!
