Pacino is not bad in a "soft" role. This is kind of refreshing after all the violent movies he has been in.
See this film with the one you love.

Frankie & Johnny is one of those rainy day snuggle in a warm blanket with a cup of tea movies. Al as Johnny is very fun to watch. When he first gets out of prison there is a funny scene of him watching Jepordy that I love. The restaurant where they work has alot of fun characters as well. When the restaurant's owner brings his grandmother to America as his check out lady she counts change and throws it on the floor for the customer which cracks me up everytime.

Please, when you see al pacino coming out of the kitchen's catacombs with a bandana,you immdiately remember tony montana washing dishes and shaking himself in fury saying "I DIDNT COME TO AMERICA TO BREAK MY BACK"...just because of that scene, 4 stars were guaranteed!
For a romantic movie, its on an acceptable level, although I get the feeling something more should've been done with that fine cast of actors,hummmmmm...maybe pacino's forte is portraying borderline dark characters and not losers with a heart, i think.

This is one of the lesser known and appreciated screen gems of the 90's. It's a superior romantic-comedy-drama which stars screen legend Al Pacino and screen goddess Michelle Pfeiffer. The movie is so much more about the love story. It is a very perceptive movie about people who are lonely and people who are trapped into their own lives. The movie has an achingly melancholic mood.
The casting of Michelle Pfeiffer was controversial at that time because the original role on Broadway was played by Kathy Bates and a lot of people think Pfeiffer was too beautiful for the role. Bates reportedly laughed when she learned hat Pfeiffer got the role. Granted that the reason Pfeifer probably got the role was because at that time she was at the height of her popularity, she was the "it" girl then. But Pfeiffer was phenomenal and proved that she deserved the part. Her beauty was toned down to make her look as ordinary as possible. The character she played has so much depth and layer that is pretty uncommon for films generally regarded as romance films.
Pacino of course was good, this is his and Pfeiffer's second team up after Scarface of course I love the fact that he played the role with such ease and charm which is a lot different from his more serious roles before. The supporting actors Nathan Lane and Kate Nelligan stole some scenes
Of all the movies of Pfeiffer this is one of my all time favorites together with Fabulous Baker Boys, Married to the Mob, One Fine Day, and Batman Returns to name a few. I whole-heartedly recommend this film.
