Mob Queen (1998) User Reviews

Funny slice of life sex comedy

[rfaust1 · 9/10 · 5 July 2001]

"Mob Queen" offers viewers a humorous slice of life of late 50s Brooklyn (specifically the Red Hook neighborhood) and buffoonish mobsters taken in by a beautiful drag queen played by Candis Cayne. For once, the drag queen gets the guy and isn't killed--no "Crying Game" melodrama, here. Buy it or rent it, you'll like it.

Sweet romantic comedy about the rise of an inept mobster and his unlikely sweetheart.

[YumYum-3 · 10/10 · 5 November 1999]

All the way from its comical beginning to its surprising end, the gentle, often hilarious, always victimless humor of Mike Horelick compels the audience to accept an offer of laughter it can't refuse. Jon Conboy's direction is marked by subtlety and expert timing to make this delightful film a real pleasure for anyone who loves true wit and a fresh approach to an old genre.

A very entertaining spoof of gangsters-

[V-9 · 9/10 · 8 February 2000]

I think the movie was a very entertaining spoof of gangsters - sort of in the vein of "Bound" - definitely a good laugh - by a talented first time director. The music was particularly humorous and played along with the movie and I loved the lead performance by "Candy Cane".
