Michael Felgate (Hugh Grant) is a dapper art auctioneer, who's eager to marry Gina (Jeanne Tripplehorn) a school teacher he has been dating for three months, but first he wants to meet her parents. Frank (James Caan) Gina's father is a gangster, and now he wants to use Michael's auction house to deal in dubious artwork, and Michael has to try and blend in as a gangster himself, so he becomes the hilarious Mickey blue eyes.
Surprisingly Hugh Grant captures this comedy character really well, spouting off stereotypical mafia talk in his own special way. Caan and Tripplehorn are both pretty good too, but it's Grant that seals the show.
Generally funny throughout and with the odd really hilarious scene here and there, Mickey Blue Eyes goes way beyond my expectations, and becomes an entertaining comedy that's fun to enjoy.
7/10
