Idk why this movie has so many bad reviews. It’s a funny shitty 70s mobster comedy and a young De Niro with a shitty haircut, that’s all u need sometimes! Thanks Christopher Moltisanti for recommending the movie 🙏🏼

Started watching this on the second of this month and it's now the 24th 😀 Sorry, I know I've got misophonia so repetitive sounds are already irritating to the max for me- but during the first like, 10 minutes they say "Hey" no less than 30 times (and that bit continues throughout...) sooo incredibly annoying. Is it supposed to be funny ??? Hell, none of the jokes land. Just a real slag to get through. Genuinely needed the break in order to finish this LMAO. God AND the accents are horrendous 😭😭 The only part of this I liked at all was when Robert De Niro was on screen, ergo the ★ ½ rating... that's all him... & the lion, tbh. I was more interested in reading up on the lion featured than actually watching The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. Racism for no reason too, this is so ass!!!!!!!

The sound mixing is insane enough to be ASMR
A little funny but very bad yet De Niro is a star, a very cute star
