I'll be frank, the title "Mafia Mamma" doesn't exactly encourage optimism/confidence especially from a critical thinker. But hey, there have been plenty of good movies with not so good titles ("Edge of Tomorrow," "Captain Fantastic," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", etc.). I wish I could say "Mafia Mamma" fell into that category. Instead it's a not so great mix of absurdity and cringe that tries but can't squeeze nearly enough laughs out of its ridiculous concept.
