The pacing has this odd rhythm, sometimes dragging when it lingers on the cousins' awkward reunions, but then it picks up with unexpected moments that catch you off guard. The performances are a mixed bag; some actors really lean into their comedic roles while others play it a bit straight, creating an interesting contrast. There's a certain charm in the practical effects used throughout, making the mafia elements feel somewhat grounded despite the over-the-top situations.
