My Blue Heaven

Parents need to know that My Blue Heaven is a crime comedy with some sexist and misogynistic behavior, and some dated stereotypes. When he is placed in witness protection in the San Diego suburbs, former New York mobster Vinnie (Steve Martin) struggles to fit in and change his ways. Despite frequently still breaking the law, Vinnie does try to help others, including uptight FBI agent Barney (Rick Moranis), and district attorney Hannah (Joan Cusack), who work hard at the expense of their marriages. There is very little diversity, with Hannah the only main female character and multiple characters making sexist remarks toward her and other women. Vinnie is a caricature of a New York mobster, who, along with other supporting characters, plays into dated stereotypes of Italian-Americans. Violence is occasional but mild, with gunfights resulting in no injuries. Sex barely features, but there are some references to it in jokes and on-screen kissing. Swearing is also mild and infrequent, but contains one use of "f--k." Vinnie is materialistic and spends money freely, which is played for comic effect. Characters drink and smoke but in moderation.
