Comment |
The best and most
hilarious homage to The Godfather, starring Marlon Brando
himself as Jimmy "the Toucan" Sabatini with a deliberately
Vito-like countenance. The family business this time around,
however, lies in amassing endangered animals under the
pretense of serving them to an exclusive dining club. Clark
(Broderick) is the NYU freshman who falls down this
Kafkaesque culinary rabbid hole and meets up on the way down
not only with Brando but with Bert Parks and a komodo
dragon, among other strange and unusual creatures.
