	Corky Romano
		Corky is only too happy to help his newly re-discovered relations, and his brothers intimidate a computer hacker into creating a false resume to get Corky into the FBI.
		Corky is also a son of "Pops", but is sent away at a very early age due to his inability to conform to the "family's" ways.
		Corky is an irritating little man, who walks around wanting to hug everyone, smiles at any situation, and wants to be the head veterinarian at his clinic.

	Corky Romano
		Corky Romano (Chris Kattan, Monkeybone, Lucky Numbers) is the fl sheep in a crime family led by his father, Pops (Peter Falk, Made, Lakeboat).
		Corky is the only choice because he has no involvement with the family business, and the FBI does not know about him.
		Since Corky is a decent man, his loyalty to his family conflicts with his sense of justice.

	'Corky Romano'
		The movie's tone stumbles about almost as much as Corky himself, mixing the character's preening childishness with drug jokes, toilet humor and the violent nastiness of brothers Paul and Peter.
		So does Corky finally acting like a grownup, and the Romano brothers at last acknowledging their shortcomings, and the dizzying chain of confusion that results when Corky's dual identity meets itself head on.
		"Corky Romano" is just another widget off the Disney assembly line that employs a first-time director (Rob Pritts) and screenwriters executing the vision of producer Robert Simonds, responsible for such swill as "Problem Child," "Screwed" and several Adam Sandler comedies.

	Corky Romano (2001)
		Corky Romano is the sort of film that thinks it’s hilarious to offer one closeted gay Romano brother and another who’s illiterate.
		(Corky’s not the gay one, though he seems like the most likely party.) This is the kind of film that thinks it’s hilarious to show Kattan as he gets electric shocks via conductors attached to his nipples.
		Corky Romano offered an annoying hyperactive and witless “comedy” that inspired almost no amusement or interest, at least not from me. The DVD provided watchable but surprisingly flawed picture quality along with adequate sound and a minor roster of extras.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Corky Romano
		"Corky Romano" is a terrible film, but it never was a skit--this is an original from some gentleman locked up in the SNL attic somewhere (hopefully not Al Franken).
		Peter Berg and Chris Penn co-star as Corky's brothers, Berg being jealous and illiterate and Penn being perpetually angry.
		The only humorous moment in the film is when Corky is dressed up like a girl scout--but, those laughs are based solely on the job by the costume designer and make-up artists--not the actors and certainly not the director.

	Corky Romano DVD Review at The Z Review UK DVD reviews
		Corky Romano is one of those throwaway "TV star-to-film plots." I didn't expect anything out of the film so it wasn't very disappointing when I got through it.
		Corky Romano is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Corky Romano is a weak film, but I thought it was likable and enjoyable nonetheless.

	Corky Romano - Movie Tome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Corky Romano is a goofy misfit born into a powerful crime family who is rejected for being too normal and haplessly continues his life as a gentle veterinarian.
		It seems Corky is his father's last hope, he has hatched a plan to send his bumbling son undercover into the F.B.I. where he will be able to steal all evidence of his family's misdeeds.
		The only problem is: Corky's resume is desperately inflated by his intellectually challenged brothers and the F.B.I. not only accepts him, they believe that he is speaks five languages and is Harvard-educated and is a super agent.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Corky Romano
		Corky Romano (Chris Kattan) is a sweet-natured, goofy, '80s-music-loving veterinarian who has gone through his life completely oblivious to his family's mob involvement.
		When incrimination proof put forth by the Federal Government points to Pops Romano (Peter Falk), he and his two other sons, illiterate Paul (Peter Berg) and repressed homosexual Peter (Chris Penn), they decide that their only chance of escaping charges is to put Corky undercover at the FBI to snatch the evidence.
		Intermittent laughs are generated in "Corky Romano," such as a scene where Corky accidentally ingests a large amount of cocaine and must speak in front of a ground of 8-year-olds, but in order to get to them one must tolerate long, dry stretches of predictable plotting and failed comedy bits.

	Corky Romano DVD Review
		Good-natured veterinarian Corky Romano (Chris Kattan) is stunned when he receives a surprising call from his long-lost father (Peter Falk), an underworld crime lord who has been indicted by a grand jury.
		Corky stumbles into the halls of justice and tries to fake his way through one tough assignment after another while hunting for the elusive incriminating proof of his fathers illegal activities.
		In the case of Corky Romano, to sit down and watch this film you truly have to enjoy the performance of Chris Kattan.

	Review: : corky romano
		When the FBI is about to prosecute Corky's father (in a "Good lord, what are you doing in this?" performance from Peter Falk) and two brothers (Chris Penn and Peter Berg) for a multitude of crimes, the family sends Corky undercover into the FBI to retrieve the damning evidence and destroy it.
		When it turns out that Corky's spastic tendencies are perceived as exemplary Federal Agent work by his bureau, Corky is hailed as a model agent and falls in love with one of his peers (Vinessa Shaw) as he begins to learn that his family might not be as corrupt as he originally thought.
		"Corky Romano" is probably one of the bigger disappointments of the year.

	Corky Romano (2001) - A Review by David Nusair
		Wacky hijinks ensue once Corky has infiltrated the Feds and slowly convinces everyone that he is a top agent.
		This isn't to say there aren't any funny moments - there are a few throwaway gags that are chuckle-worthy (when Corky goes undercover as a neo-Nazi, he sports a tattoo that shows a menorah with a cross through it), but the majority of the jokes are obvious and crude.
		Corky Romano isn't as bad as some other comedies as of late (yes Freddy Got Fingered, I am looking in your direction), but it's certainly not as good as the recently-released Zoolander.

	CORKY ROMANO movie review (with clip, photo)
		Corky is so tied up putting out FBI fires that he barely has time to find out what the agency has on his father (Peter Falk), a crude, pint-size Don Corleone.
		Corky's useless brothers, Paulie and Peter, are portrayed by Peter Berg and Chris Penn as if they were constantly muffling laughs over Kattan's goofy pratfalls and the script's absurdities.
		Corky Romano is a low-brow exercise that basically boils down to a series of sketches built around Kattan's gift for artful clumsiness.

	Reel Criticism - Corky Romano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		One should not have expected original from "Corky Romano" in the first place and for it to simply be a goofy comedy and nothing more.
		"Corky Romano" tells us the tale of the Romano family who will soon be going to trial for a case they seemingly have no chance of winning.
		Corky quickly (and not to surprisingly as the next check box on the 'How To Write A Script For Dummies' list is checked) butts heads with the agencies top man, Brick Davis (Matthew Glave) and falls for a female agent.

		Although Corky's not-too-bright thug brothers Paulie (Peter Berg) and Peter (Chris Penn) want to have nothing to do with him, Pops knows Corky is the only hope to infiltrate the FBI as an agent and steal the evidence against him.
		Corky is reluctant but, despite early rejection, still loves his family and agrees.
		Corky, as "Agent Pissant" (pronounced pee-SONT, it's French), is up against by-the-book agent Brick Davis (Matthew Glave) who suspects he's a fraud, and falls for sexy femme agent Kate Russo (Vinessa Shaw).

	Corky Romano (2001)
		I left plenty of room for Corky Romano to amaze and astound me, to turn me inside-out with laughter, seeing as how my expectation were about as low as 15 Saturday Night Live spin-off movies could make them.
		Corky Romano is slightly better than most of these cookie-cutter flicks hence the half pie, and in actuality, SNL producer Lorne Michaels had nothing to do with this film—perhaps its saving grace.
		The humor in Corky Romano is derived from two main things—Kattan's physicality (he's more Jerry Lewis than Jim Carrey) and the standard fish-out-of-water plot.

	Common Guy's Film Review of Corky Romano
		Corky is summoned to meet with Pops and gets the request to go undercover within the FBI.
		Corky Romano features a sometimes very funny Chris Kattan who goes through the gyrations from talking into his pants to getting beat up by his brothers, and so much more.
		Kattan embodies the Corky character with great ease as he is used to being the lovable goof.

	Corky Romano (2001): Reviews
		Good-natured veterinarian Corky Romano (Kattan) is stunned when he receives a call from his long-lost father "Pops" (Falk), an underworld crime lord who has been indicted by a grand jury and needs his fl sheep son to infiltrate the FBI undetected and abscond with the evidence against him.
		Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on.
		It might be courting hyperbole to call Corky Romano the single worst movie ever to feature an ''SNL'' cast member (Dan Aykroyd hit some pretty arid valleys), but I'm willing to go out on a critical limb and rank it among the all-time bottom dozen.

		Corky, the happy-go-lucky, animal-loving brother of an Italian mobster type family, goes undercover (in the FBI) to rescue pops (Peter Falk) from incarceration.
		Despite an initial eye-narrowing "animals out of their cages" introductory scene, Corky Romano hops into his yellow Miata and drives a vibrating jolt of solid laughter though audiences for a full hour.
		However, Corky's nervous jitters around security prompt him to grapple for an excuse, "I had some coffee earlier and I'm just a little wired.

		October is the perfect month of the year in which to release Corky Romano, with Halloween and the Season of the Witch just around the corner.
		Corky, a meek veterinarian who knows nothing about the "family business", is less than thrilled, but he doesn't want to let his father down, so he agrees.
		Watching Corky Romano is like doing a penance - you can see all of the failed jokes and sense the growing desperation on the part of the cast and crew.

		Corky is an assistant veterinarian, played by Chris Kattan of “Saturday Night Live” fame, who is the youngest child in the Romano “family” (the quotes mean that they’re Mafioso).
		Corky is surrounded by people stupider than he is, which is instant death for a movie about how stupid someone is. Also as played by Kattan, Corky is hyperactive and annoying, not frantic and sweet, as the movie thinks he is. Does Kattan have what it takes to carry a movie?
		Using Corky Romano as my sole piece of evidence, I would say no. He seems, at least here, the type who will do anything for a laugh, even if it means doing the same thing over and over and over.
