 Comedy Central: Movies - Bullets Over Broadway - Plot Summary
David Shayne (John Cusack) is a straight-arrow playwright who plans to stand firm against compromising his work, but quickly abandons that stance when his producer (Jack Warden) finds a backer to mount his show on Broadway.
There's just one catch, however: the backer is a mobster (Joe Viterelli) who sees Shayne's play as a vehicle for his dizzy, talent-free girlfriend, Olive (Jennifer Tilly).
Shayne also has to deal with the demands of veteran theatre diva Helen Sinclair (Dianne Wiest) and is shocked to discover that Olive's hitman bodyguard, Cheech (Chazz Palminteri), is probably a better playwright than he is, as he secretly revises Shayne's work when he sits in on rehearsals.

 Analyze That Review Movie Review Film Analyze That: Robert De Niro, Billy Crystal, Lisa Kudrow, Joe Viterelli; Review ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Despite the old adage "you can't teach a dog new tricks", Sobel desperately tries to curve Vitti's bad habits but to no avail.
In fact, the guy even manages to hook up with his old mob lieutenant Jelly (Joe Viterelli) and insists on doing mob-related dealings over the Sobels' telephone.
When Vitti isn't being his intrusive self by butting into family business (the hilarious scene where a bathrobe-wearing Vitti disrupts a social gathering is a hoot), then he's being an insufferable bore by undermining Sobel's authority in a vain attempt to reform him.

03/12/1999: Joe"Jelly" Viterelli is the movie's REAL Star
If DeNiro is supposed to be a "wise guy," then Crystal must be the "wise ass." Lisa Kudrow has no role to play at all, other than to provide a clear complexion and straight teeth, which she does admirably.
There are some great one-liners in the movie, but they are overshadowed by sloppy, hasty performances by the so-called "stars." From Crystal I don't expect much, but from De Niro I expect "Raging Bull", not outrageous bullshit.
