Agent Davis isn't too pleased with this development.Ĭorky: Question? You gotta question? You do? You don't? You do? You don't? I SHOULD BUY A BOAT!
Infectious Enthusiasm: Some of Corky's quirks begin to rub off on the agents in the FBI, most notably they start wearing flamboyant ties.
Hidden Wire: Peter and Paulie hide one in Corky's crotch.

Grumpy Bear: Agent Brick Davis spends much of the movie in a perpetually glum mood as he grows increasingly resentful and suspicious of Corky.When I asked the coroner for the murder weapon he said there was none, that son of a bitch did it with his bare hands! A subplot involving a FBI agent (Matthew Glave) jealous of the attention lavished on Corky is predictable and tiresome, and the film succumbs to the usual third act pitfalls of idiot comedies: the goofy hero somehow grows some brains in the final stretch, where some completely unearned attempts at heartstring-yanking take place.Agent Shuster: His last two victims had their genitals severed. “Corky Romano” isn’t based on a “Saturday Night Live” sketch, but it might as well as been, considering how quickly the energy peters out before the sub-90-minute run time has expired. While Kattan is a nimble enough comedian to pull off some moments of amusing idiocy, thankfully director Rob Pritts has surrounded him with a cast of reliable pros, which in addition to Falk includes Richard Roundtree as Corky’s FBI superior and Chris Penn and Peter Berg as Corky’s far-tougher (at least on the outside) brothers.

Seeing Kattan knock over numerous props on each set is as unfunny as it sounds, but every now and again pops up a scene good for some giggle-worthy stupidity, such as when Corky, accidentally tweaked on cocaine (don’t ask), has to give a speech to a room full of elementary school children. The paper-thin plot has Pops enlisting Corky to infiltrate the FBI to destroy incriminating evidence, thus setting the stage for this flamboyant assistant veterinarian to bumble his way through fed headquarters and stumble his way through crime scenes. Kattan plays Corky, the black sheep son of mob boss “Pops” Romano (Peter Falk). Not terribly surprising, however, is that there’s not enough of that laughter. Surprising it is, then, that some of the silliness actually elicits laughter. Posing the question “Who is Corky?” in huge block letters, the promotional campaign for “Corky Romano” not merely tempts but invites the easy, smart-a*s retort of “Who cares?”–or, perhaps more accurately, “Who the f**k cares,” for the only image running with said query is the disembodied head of “Saturday Night Live” player Chris Kattan sporting an especially toothy, especially goofy smile.
