FAQs

What happens in mafia Mama? ›

An American mom (Toni Collette) inherits her grandfather's mafia empire in Italy. Guided by the firm's consigliere (Monica Bellucci), she hilariously defies everyone's expectations as the new head of the family business. Content collapsed.

However, while that was happening, the Toni Collette-starring action comedy Mafia Mamma, which follows a woman who finds out her grandmother is a mafia don, made just $6 million worldwide (via Box Office Mojo) against a $41 million budget.

Michael J. Feldman and Debbie Jhoon wrote the screenplay, based on an original story by Amanda Sthers. Toni Collette, Monica Bellucci, and Rob Huebel were cast in leading roles but ultimately Huebel did not appear in the film. Principal photography took place in May 2022 on location in Rome, Italy.
