As a youth, Corky was kicked out of his Mafia-connected family for being an oddball. Corky then must go undercover to infiltrate the FBI and steal any and all evidence that will put his cranky father in jail.
Ever hear about the guy who liked to pummel his head with a sledgehammer, because it felt so good when he stopped? Maybe the same fellow would appreciate Corky Romano.

Somebody, somewhere, actually believed in this dreck.
Chris Kattan should have been in silent comedy. He has the Silly Putty face of those old slapstick stars, and a sing-song, splitting-headache vox box that would have played much better in the silents.
It's depressing enough to sit through an unfunny comedy, but it's worse to watch Falk, Penn and Berg having to earn a living like this.

Although Corky Romano is not based on a Saturday Night Live sketch, it is still as dismal.

Unlike the pathetic protagonists of many a smart dumb comedy, Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on.
