Mickey Blue Eyes was crafted as a vehicle for the stammering British charm of Hugh Grant , so whether or not you like the movie will depend heavily on your affection for Grant. He plays an art auctioneer who falls in love with schoolteacher Jeanne Tripplehorn , who just happens to be the daughter of mobster James Caan . To protect Grant, Tripplehorn tries to fend off his proposal of marriage, but some miscommunications lead to Grant being embraced by the family. After the mob decides to launder money through Grants auction house, an accidental killing results in Grant pretending to be Mickey Blue Eyes out of Kansas City . The plot isnt as well executed as it could be but the leads are all well cast & there are some excellent supporting performances, particularly Burt Young as a myopic mob boss & Scott Thompson as a sprightly FBI agent. , Bret Fetzer, , This text refers to the VHS edition of this video

Hugh Grant is an English actor. He was born Hugh John Mungo Grant in London, England & tends to play the archetypal Englishman & is of Scottish ancestry. After attending Latymer Upper School for boys, Grant studied English at New College, Oxford. He made his film debut in 1982 with Oxford-financed Privileged. Television came later, in 1985. One of his first major film roles was in The Remains of the Day & he became simultaneously known as the partner of actress Elizabeth Hurley, but it was Four Weddings & a Funeral which turned him into a major star. Not long after gaining the starring role in Sense & Sensibility in 1995, Grant was arrested near Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, having been caught having oral_sex with an Afro-American prostitute in a car. A public apology helped win back public support, but the break-up with Hurley came soon afterwards -- though they later got back together for a short time. Posters Of Hugh Grant
