Jimmy, a struggling writer, takes a job for his mobster uncle in order to obtain first-hand material for a book on conspiracy plots and the JFK assassination.

Who says crime doesn't pay? The mob will pay Jimmy Corona anything to stay away. But, then again, so would most people. His agent brushes off Jimmy's latest book proposal: detailing the conspiracy between Lee Harvey Oswald and Marylin Monroe to assassinate JFK. His girlfriend gives him his walking papers in the midst of wild sex when he can't give her one good reason to stay. Actually he's too exhausted to speak. And to top it all off, he's suffering from writer's block. So what's a poor guy to do? Join the mob?—<[email protected]>

Jimmy Corona is a struggling writer, down on his luck. His girlfriend, Lori has walked out and the debts are piling up. After several hilarious failed suicide attempts, he decides to write a book about the Mafia. Jimmy goes to see his uncle Tony, a New York "Wiseguy," who agrees to get him into the Mob. He is partnered with "Bink Bink" Borelli, a young thug on the rise, who soon grows tired of Jimmy's inability to hand the "Goodfella" lifestyle. Eventually Jimmy is put to the ultimate test - he will have to kill someone to "make his bones" or face up to his luck finally running out. Sandra Bullock lights up the screen as she strips down to her sexy lingerie as Jimmy's girlfriend and Steve Buscemi puts in a cameo as an oddball, obsessed with conspiracy theories.
