Johnny Dangerously

I randomly caught this flick when searching for something to distract me. It's not a serious film -- the theme was composed by Weird Al -- but it's fairly fun. Some breaking of the 4th wall, some anachronisms, and lots of in-genre gangster movie conventions. However, it's really fluff; the gunfights are about as realistic as those in Support your Local Sheriff, and the humor is telegraphed way in advance. And, Michael Keaton as the gangster Johnny Dangerously ... i suppose he can handle suave, but I was mostly trying to figure out whether he was wearing mascara and, if so, why?

Recommended as light semi-background entertainment.
