Mafia Comedy Films
Mafia comedy films are a subgenre hybrid of comedy films and crime/gangster films. Criteria Mafia comedies revolve around organized crime, often specifically the Italian-American Mafia but also other mafias or mafia-like crime groups, and a comedic plot line, usually involving a chase or a complicated situation involving gangsters or organized crime. Much of the humor in such films is based upon the portrayal of gangsters as ordinary people. The perceived view of gangsters is that they are tough, serious, mysterious, and often quite evil characters; so when a film portrays a side of normality to a gangster character, it can have a humorous effect. Crime/gangster films typically involve many comedic moments, especially during witty conversations between gang members. This can be seen in such films as ''Goodfellas'', ''Casino'', ''Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'', ''Pulp Fiction'', and '' Snatch''. Examples of mafia comedy *''Some Like It Hot'' *'' Mafioso'' *''The Gang That Co ...
