Kevin McDonald stars in The Godson as the wacky, underachieving son of mob kingpin Dom Deluise. McDonald's life of blissful ignorance is interrupted, however, when his brother is put out of commission and he's forced to take his place as the head of the family. This past year has been a bountiful one for lovers of awful mob spoofs, what with Jane Austen's Mafia! and National Lampoon's The Don's Analyst, but The Godson is such a grotesque, misguided, unbelievably terrible trainwreck of a film that it's really in a class of its own. You'd have to go back to the 1984 Murray "The Unknown Comic" Langston vehicle Night Patrol to find a comedy as cringe-inducingly bad as The Godson. What sort of a film is it? Let's just say that it represents not only a nadir in the career of talented Kids In The Hall alumnus McDonald, but also in the careers of fellow cast members Deluise, Rodney Dangerfield, Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, former Warrant video vixen Bobbie Brown, and Joey Buttafuoco. A good indication of the wit and subtlety at work here is that Deluise's character is named the Oddfather. Get it? See, he's the Godfather, but he's also really eccentric, so he's named the Oddfather! Sadly, that bit is among the funniest here, right up there with the timely Charlie's Angels parody that serves as The Godson's intermittent framing device. Ostensibly a non-stop gag-a-minute romp from the Airplane! school, The Godson contains such a preponderance of jokes that aren't funny, comedic conceits that aren't clever, and ideas that are just plain wrong that its awfulness is almost fascinating.
