Synopsis
"Corky Romano" is a 2001 crime comedy film starring Chris Kattan as the titular character, Corky Romano, a hapless and socially awkward veterinarian who finds himself thrust into the dangerous world of organized crime. When his mobster family is targeted by the FBI, Corky is reluctantly recruited as an undercover informant to infiltrate the mafia and protect his relatives. Despite his lack of street smarts and criminal experience, his quirky antics and unconventional approach lead to a series of comedic misadventures. The film combines slapstick humor with a fish-out-of-water story, showcasing Kattan's energetic comedic style in a lighthearted, albeit zany, caper.

Reviews
Corky Romano received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics upon its release. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a low approval rating of 7%, indicating widespread critical disdain. The consensus highlights the film's reliance on broad, lowbrow humor and lack of wit, stating it fails to deliver sustained laughs. Metacritic assigns the film a score of 20 out of 100, signifying "generally unfavorable reviews." Reviewers faulted the movie for its thin plot, clichéd characters, and repetitive slapstick comedy. For example, Roger Ebert gave it a dismissive 1 star out of 4, remarking that the film "never really finds a funny bone to tickle." Similarly, IMDb users have rated the movie at 4.7 out of 10, echoing the sentiment that the humor feels forced and the narrative dull. However, some viewers appreciated Chris Kattan's physical comedy and his offbeat character portrayal, which injects moments of charm amidst the otherwise lackluster screenplay. Overall, "Corky Romano" is often cited as a misstep in comedic filmmaking, appealing mainly to fans of crude slapstick rather than a broader audience.
