Hilarious! Chris Kattan Shines!, October 21, 2001
Corky Romano has got to be one of the most hilarious comedies to be released lately that doesn't use gross out humour to get the jokes across. Corky is the black sheep in a family of mob-like people. He's been shied away from his family and lives a too happy life as an assistant veterinarian. His life dream? To become THE veterinarian. When his family enlists him to go under cover as an FBI agent, Corky resists but has no other choice to take the position. And this results in some very wacky chaos and antics. This IS Chris Kattan's movie. He was hilarious, and almost all of his jokes came across as funny. The guy can pull stuff off very well. A simple face reaction could make you laugh from him. The supporting cast are all great. Vinessa Shaw is very stunning and as Pops was full of great one-liners. The story was well put together, and of course with this being a comedy, not all that happened in the movie would happen in real life. But still, hilarious ensues and comedy is there in a plenty. You do actually have to be in the mood for the comedy though, or you'll just stare dullfully at the screen. If you don't like it, you'll actually hate it for it's humour. But everyone I've talked to who's seen it has liked it because of that. Corky Romano is a hilarious gem, and should bring Chris Kattan into a whole new perspective.

Corky Romano!, March 22, 2004
Corky Romano has got to be one of the best movies EVER!!! It is doesn't drrraaaagggg on like other movies do, so it's easy to watch over and over again without getting bored. Plus, it's hilarious without being crude like you may find in other comedies. I've seen this movie 4 complete times being said on 3/22/2004, but by the time you're reading this, it may be twice as many! I've memorized entire scenes, even a chapter! Corky is relativly family friendly, though some things some people might find inappropriate for younger people, primarily the swear words. Pops Romano, a mafia father is having charges pressed against him, so he sends his son, Corky, to go undercover as an FBI Agent and destroy all evidence against him. His new fake name is Corky Pissant, which he claims is pronounced "pea-sont," and his fake resumé says he knows five different languages, has an olympic gold medal for sharpshooting, and is a black belt in some fighting style. Now Corky has to try and get the evidence while trying to live up to his fake resumé. The movie takes place over only 3 days or so, so it is fast-paced. Overall, "Corky Romano" is a fun movie to watch and I would recommend it to anyone.

Okay for a bargain matinee, November 10, 2001
This movie has its funny parts, but sometimes it's a bit too corny. The Corky character has its moments, as he tried to make good in the mob family he's been estranged from. Also, it's good to see Peter Falk is still working. And the ending is actually pretty good, as Corky succeeds in getting the goods on his father away from the Feds and is reunited with his now adoring family. Go see it at a bargain matinee.
