Chris Kattan, Peter Falk, Peter Berg, and Chris Penn star in this hilarious, fish-out-of-water comedy caper. Naive, bumbling Corky Romano (Kattan), the outcast son of a Mafia boss (Falk), is recruited by his family to infiltrate the FBI and steal any and all evidence that will put his cranky father in jail. But he's in way over his head when he's made out to be a super agent! It's a reputation he must live up to as he tries to fake his way through one tough assignment after another while hunting for the elusive incriminating proof of his father's illegal activities.

Rotten Tomatoes® Score

TOMATOMETER®

Critics Consensus: Corky Romano continues the trend of bad movies featuring SNL members. The jokes are tired and unfunny, and the slapstick feels forced.

Although Corky Romano is not based on a Saturday Night Live sketch, it is still as dismal.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that there's comic violence in this movie, including shooting (no one gets hurt) and a lot of fighting. Viewers hear of an offscreen crime in which the victim's genitals were torn off, and see the flies buzzing above a corpse (played for comedy). A character is tortured by having jumper cables attached to his nipples and then being shocked. A character accidentally inhales cocaine and is supposed to be comically intoxicated. There's some bathroom humor. The FBI has racially diverse agents working well together, but the female agent complains of not being treated equally. There are sexist and anti-gay comments and some very vulgar language.
