This is one of those films that I have to watch everytime it's on TV even though I own the DVD. Just a favorite.This 1990 film was direcected by Herbert Ross, written by Nora Ephron, and stars Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, and Joan Cusack.
In this comedy Martin plays a mid-level mobster who is put into the Witness Protection Program in the suburbs. It's sheer hell for a city guy. FBI agent Moranis, with his own issues, is assigned to oversee Martin until he completes his trial testimony. Martin, bored to tears and realizing his government payments won't last, embarks upon his own suburban crime spree.
Favorite scenes are Martin mowing the lawn in a sharkskin suit, going to the supermarket, taking Moranis to the tailor, and many, many more.
Check out Martin's hair...funny on its own.
Loved Martin meeting Carol Kane in the supermarket's frozen food section where he te;;s her she "could melt all this stuff", how he's treated in jail, and the various excuses he comes up with for his numerous arrests.
Not great, but funny and worth watching.
