Mario and the Mob

About This Movie

So, 'Mario and the Mob' presents this curious blend of comedy and drama, told through the misadventures of Mario Dante, played by Robert Conrad. Picture a crime boss suddenly thrust into family life as his niece and nephews move in—it’s a bizarre premise that somehow manages to balance humor and heart. The pacing has this odd rhythm, fluctuating between lighthearted moments and more serious themes of family and responsibility. Ann Jillian as Alice adds a nice touch, their chemistry feels genuine, even in the midst of some slapstick mishaps. It’s not the best mafia-themed story out there, but it offers a quirky take on love and loyalty set against an unconventional backdrop. The practical effects and setting are pretty typical for the time, but there’s something endearing about its earnestness.

Robert Conrad's performance is worth noting. · Interesting blend of comedy and family themes. · Not your typical mafia film, has a unique charm.
