Toni Collette shines in mob comedy 'Mafia Mamma'

Toni Collette shines in the fish-out-of-water mob comedy "Mafia Mamma" as Kristin, a self-doubting woman who becomes the handpicked Dona Balbano after her estranged grandfather dies. Kristin flies to Italy to run the family business, which involves more than just a vineyard and winery. She transforms the winery into something special, does some genuine good for people, unleashes her libido on a hunky pasta maker, and kills just enough people to earn the respect and fear of everyone around her. The movie is stupid-silly and breezy fun, with a welcome feminist spin, and a committed, top-tier performance from Collette.
