Corky Romano (2001)

Corky Romano Movie Poster  So this is one of Christy's favorite movies.  Surprisingly, it didn't make me want to claw my eyes out.  It's pretty dumb but entertaining enough in its own way.

Facing a strong FBI case, the Romano crime family knows they need to come up with a plan to infiltrate and destroy the evidence files against them.  To do this, they turn to the ostracized Romano sibling, Corky (Chris Kattan), who just wants to be a veterinarian.  They gin up a fake resume and have him join the FBI task force under Special Agent Brick Davis (Matthew Glave).  Davis is immediately suspicious of Corky, especially after his idiotic antics lead to a number of high-profile arrests.  Corky just wants to get into the evidence locker and get the file on his family and get out.  Oh, and maybe impress stony Agent Russo (Vinessa Shaw) along the way.

You already know if you're going to like this based on your reaction to the title character.  If you thought "oh, another failed SNL skit" you probably won't like it.  If you thought "ooh, I hope it's as good as Night at the Roxbury" then you probably will.
