Original, fresh, well done!

Mafia is not the glamourous, honour-coded organisation that some Hollywood movies want to show. Mafia is vile and power-blinded. And this movie gives it the treatment it deserves by making fun of it, mocking mafiosi and depicting them as what they are: A bunch of uneducated, machista, greedy men. This is very refreshing. Also because the movie makes use of music and dancing, pop colours and surrealism to enhance the parody, and it works really well in my opinion. It seems like a silly movie, but it's very serious.

Tano da morire, together with La Piovra, are the best representations I've seen of Sicilian mafia.
