Product Description

Spike Fumo doesn't want to end up a loser like his dad, who's taking a rap in Sing Sing for local mob boss Baldo Cacetti. The tough, handsome kid aspires to boxing glory, but he's willing to throw a fight when he has to. Baldo has fatherly affection for Spike until the boxer hooks up with Angel, the don's feisty blonde princess of a daughter. When Spike and Angel won't break up, Spike is banished from Bensonhurst and he moves in with a Puerto Rican boxer and his beautiful sister. Soon Spike is father-to-be in each neighborhood, and heading for a fall with the don.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lasting love..........Spike is cool., August 13, 2006

By	Randall Smith (Yakima, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is one of the best; it was low-budget and tries to live up to that. I first heard of it in "Iterview", I think, probably in an advertisement; Sylvia Miles is spectacular, and Spike's mother and female lover are totally wild. It has some of the funniest dialogue I have seen. My buddy, "Bill from Cleveland", frequently phones and leaves messages quoting these amazing, tasteless scenes. Buy this film......if you have the Pop Tarts! I only wish it were on DVD with special features; that would be amazing!!!!!! Try it, you'll like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fuhgeddaboudit, September 1, 2005

Laugh? I thought I'd have to change my underwear! The scene of Spike teaching a group of latino kids the alphabet is one of the funniest ever filmed. This is a hidden gem.
