The sequel to Goodfellas.
Quote:
While not an official sequel, Herbert Ross’ My Blue Heaven is considered by some to be a follow-up to Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, even though it was actually released a month earlier. Starring Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, and Joan Cusack, My Blue Heaven is a more comedic interpretation of the life of gangster Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta in Goodfellas) while in the Witness Protection Program.

Like Scorsese’s film, My Blue Heaven is based on Nicholas Pileggi’s book “Wiseguy,” which chronicles Hill’s life of crime. Interestingly, Pileggi wrote the Goodfellas screenplay and his late wife Nora Ephron was the screenwriter for My Blue Heaven. She was heavily involved in her husband’s book, having conducted many interviews with Hill and using her notes as reference for her script.

Slept-on thread! Not a single response in 5 months. And it’s not because it was started by a registered sex offender. This is high comedy and the CSFMB community did not recognize it at the time.

My Blue Heaven is the definitive cinematic depiction of all things mafia-related. You thought that the genre was defined by Godfather, or Goodfellas? No. It was Rick Moranis all along.

I liked the trailer because of the Fats Domino song.
