'Brooklyn,' 'Boy Culture' Jun 22, 2007
Alec Baldwin is believable as a sociopathic mob boss who takes a distant liking to a hardworking college boy from the neighborhood, well-played by Freddie Prinze Jr. Everyone in town is at least slightly corrupted by the mob, and there are complications involved in staying outside.

Happily N'Ever After Jan 5, 2007
