Typical DeNiro mob comedy

I liked this movie but not as much as the first one. It was not quite as clever. I did like it though. There are many great scenes between Billy Crystal and Bobby DeNiro. There is not a lot of violence in it as it IS a comedy for the most part. The funniest part was when Bobby D did his trademark point, shook his finger at Billy and said....."you....you.......you're good....you're good." Then there is JELLY, yes you heard me right...the gangster named Jelly. He was great! What was missing was Chaz P who was in the first one. Anyway, not much depth to this movie, just a ton of cussing and a few good laughs. It did deliver the goods.
