Trailer for THE LAST GODFATHER

Here is a new trailer for The Last Godfather directed by and starring South Korean comedian Shim Hyung Rae. The film stars Harvey Keitel as "a mob boss who decides to retire and pass on the torch to his illegitimate son Younggu (Shim), a bumbling idiot he fathered while hiding out in Korea. Keitel’s character asks his men to prepare Younggu for the new role, and slapsticky hijinks ensue." Blake Clark, Jason Mewes and Jocelin Donahue also star. 

For those of you not familar with Younggu, myself included, he is a lovable simpleton character that Shim became famous for in South Korea during the ’80s. Shim describes Younggu as “the Korean version of Mr. Bean,” and would like to see Younggu become an international icon like his British counterpart. The Last Godfather is his attempt at making that happen. The film opened to negative reviews in Korea late last year, but was still a big success.

This film looks ridiculously bad and I am ashamed to see Keitel starring. The Last Godfather opens in the U.S. on April 1 in select cities, including Los Angeles and Vancouver. Check out the trailer below and share your thoughts!
