Deli, The - Special Edition ( 1997 )

A Comedy With The Works

From director John Gallagher, The Deli is an enchanting slice of life comedy about a hard luck gambler who gets in over his head when he starts putting his store´s profits on the line. Mike Starr (Dumb And Dumber, Goodfellas) plays Johnny Amico, a delicatessen owner who plays the same numbers in the lottery every week for his mother. The one week he doesn´t play, his mother´s numbers come up and he hatches a madcap plan to raise the prize money.

With one week to make good on his debts, Johnny rides a comic rollercoaster as he desperately tries to save his deli and help his mother while battling a crazy bunch of bookies, gangsters and neighborhood nuts!

The Deli features an amazing all-star cast including Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Summer Of Sam), Debi Mazar (The Insider), Matt Keeslar (Frank Herbert´s Dune, Scream 3), Heather Matarazzo (The Princess Diaries) and rappers Heavy D and Ice-T.

With an amazing soundtrack, featuring music by David Bowie, The Posies, David Johansen and Craig Mack.
