10 Worst Movies Of 2023 (So Far)

10. Mafia Mamma

Toni Collette is watchable in just about anything, though the bounds of that maxim were certainly put to the test with her new crime comedy Mafia Mamma.

It sure sounds fun to have Collette play a suburban American woman who inherits the role of Mafia don from her estranged grandfather, yet Catherine Hardwicke's film is ultimately a flaming trainwreck of ideas and tones.

For one, it can't quite decide what kind of movie it wants to be - is it a goofy, broad fish-outta-water comedy about a woman taking over an Italian crime family, or a nastier, more violent rendition of that concept?

The sillier elements clash harshly with its surprising splashes of brutality, ensuring this is a wildly uneven, throw-everything-at-the-wall farce that's more bewildering and irritating than entertaining.

Collette is at least clearly having a ball here, which keeps the movie firmly in the #10 spot on this list, but given the concept's giddy potential, it's a mostly wasted opportunity that came and went without making a dent.
