Review of Mickey Blue Eyes

I remember seeing posters for Mickey Blue Eyes when it came out, but I didn't really hear anything about the movie from others and it slowly faded into the past. It's actually not a bad romantic comedy. I smirked, laughed, and gasped at times, and I generally enjoyed myself as I watched it. The plot is definitely contrived, but no more so than other rom-coms of the time. It's no surprised that Hugh Grant plays the part of a bumbling, awkward Englishman well, and I actually liked seeing Burt Young in his role as a no-nonsense mobster. I may forget I saw Mickey Blue Eyes, but I liked it in the moment.
