Not a lot of actual laughs but full of good cheer, atmosphere and superb acting. Michelle Pfeiffer is very likeable as the mafia widow who just wants to have an honest life, Dean Stockwell is excellent (scary but very human), ditto Mercedues Reuhl (whose love for and pain about her husband is very real and affecting), Matthew Modine is charming as an affable FBI man.
There's appearances from people like Oliver Platt, Lady Carol, oh so young Alec Baldwin, an achingly pretty Nancy Travis.
Lovely movie.
