When forced by the FBI to rat out mob boss Angelo Marcello, Carmine "The Beans" Pasquale is a wanted man on the lam being hunted by hit man Little Nicky Cappuccio. Taking along wife Gina and son Vincent, Carmine enters the federal witness relocation program and is given a new home and identity.

Despite well-meaning neighbor Michael Jaymes' efforts to welcome Carmine, he wonders if being this much of a fish-out-of-water is truly better than "sleeping with the fishes.

| User ReviewMichael GMormons would find it funny, but I think non-LDS would love it as well. This movie is just plain funny. And it addresses how petty and stupid some Mormons can be. You can never get too much of that! Wink, wink, nod, nod. |
