Would you believe Hugh Grant as a violent Mafioso from Kansas City? Don't worry if you can't: that's part of the joke in this romantic comedy. Michael Felgate (Hugh Grant) is a British expatriate livi... read more

July 23, 2011Fish out of water story has one good bit: Grant's attempts at a Lower East Side New York accent. You can skip the rest.

September 29, 2009Quite sweet and quite funny, not really a great film but a guilty pleasure and when you?ve had to sit through all the chick flicks I?ve been forced to over the years, it?s not so bad!

August 19, 2009One of my favourite Comedies, which seems to include half the Sopranos cast. This is a real funny take on the Gangster genre, with some hilarious moments. The contrast of the ever so straight and wimpy Hugh Grant right in the middle of a big crime family has some funny implicat... read more

May 27, 2007It's not much a comedy of mistaken identity as it is a send-up of mob pictures, with Hugh Grant in top form as the clumsy, embarrassed hero who is out of his depth.

January 1, 2007Hugh Grant doing his bumbling middle class englishman schtick in an unimaginative, unfunny mob comedy. The comic highlight is Grant trying to say "fugeddabowdit". Ho ho ho. Total dross.

March 19, 2012The flustered brit act grew thin for Hugh Grant in this film, it's full of Italian stereotypes and frankly the material does not well serve Grant, Caan, or Triplehorn. Also, romantic comedies don't tend to work when the leads have no chemistry as in the case of Grant and Tripleho... read more

Unfortunately, Grant finds himself knee-deep in the criminal shenanigans of his fiance's mafia-related family. Englishman wants to marry Sicilian daugh... read more

Mickey Blue Eyes has a lot to recommend it.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Mickey is a limply derivative, disappointingly trivial and hokey fish-out-of-water crime comedy!

Mike Clark, USA Today
Eventually, the movie reaches a point where sheer plot contrivance is the only way out, and a lot of steam is lost when the FBI gets involved and the actual wedding ceremony approaches.

David L. Beck, San Jose Mercury News
The second half is a mess, full of characters going off in directions we're not prepared for and rogue plot devices that seem either to have been planned for and then forgotten, or added as an afterth...

Atrocious!

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
It's tough to make a case denying that Mickey Blue Eyes is of passable entertainment value, but it's equally difficult to argue that it offers anything fresh or inspired. Full Review

Susan Stark, Detroit News
This is a movie that takes Hugh's charm as a granted and makes a good argument for its point of view. Full Review
