Johnny Dangerously

Johnny Dangerously is a 1984 American crime comedy film starring Michael Keaton as an honest, goodhearted man who turns to a life of crime to finance his mother's skyrocketing medical bills and to put his younger brother through law school. The film, directed by Amy Heckerling, is a parody of 1930s crime/gangster movies, with frequent use of malapropisms by Johnny and other crime characters. The story follows Johnny's rise and fall as a gangster, including his relationships with his mother, brother, and love interest Lil Sheridan.
