In the riotous action-comedy Mafia Mamma, Toni Collette stars as Kristin, a mild-mannered suburban mom whose life is turned upside down when she unexpectedly inherits her grandfather’s criminal empire in Italy. Leaving her unsatisfying job and personal troubles behind, she jets off to a lavish funeral, only to discover the "family business" is far more literal and dangerous than she imagined. Under the dubious guidance of the formidable mafia consigliere Monica Bellucci, Kristin is thrust into a world of high-stakes power plays, ancient rivalries, and surprisingly sharp fashion. As she navigates this treacherous new landscape with a blend of chaotic mom-skills and sheer desperation, Kristin must decide if she has what it takes to lead—or if she’ll be swallowed whole by the very legacy she never wanted. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, this fish-out-of-water tale blends outrageous comedy with a dash of crime thriller, asking just how far an ordinary woman will go to protect her unexpected, and incredibly armed, new family.
