Joey Blanks: Budget Hit Man. A Romantic Retro Mob Comedy.

A Romantic Retro Mob Comedy.

It's the 1990s, the heydays of the Jersey mob and who knew these guys could be this nuts?

A hapless mob wannabe comes up against a bully mobster.

"Falling down funny! Borat's idiot cousin meets the mob!" - R. Clark, Senior Screenwriter, Film/TV, Team Lead Comedy

All Joey wanted was that most elusive status in the wise guy world: respect. He just picked the wrong bunch of sadists to make that work with.

Mob boss, Big Paulie Pasquale, has left a video will. In it he tells his crew to protect and provide work for his idiot nephew and godson, Joseph Blanconi: “JOEY BLANKS.” Grudgingly, they do so. Then they find that Joey has an upside. They can give him contracts to hit fellow mobster which he will screw up it up in such earnest but spectacular fashion that the target will realize there's a contract out and will either settle up the grievance, or remove himself from the country, the only two mob outs.

All is going according well as Joey manages to mangle a few hits and a few guys leave the country, that is until Joey manages to lose five million dollars of mob money out of the back of his beaten up old Mazda hatchback. When he screws up THAT big, he ends up in waaaay over his head and on the run from unforgiving crime boss Vince Capellini. Good thing his gal Zoey is there to save his butt. Over and over she saves his butt. Can she do it again this time? Joey and Zoey scramble to recover the missing loot and trace the suitcase of cash to another hapless couple who drive an identical old blue Mazda hatchback. Archie and Loretta Carter from the Ozarks and haven’t got a clue who they’re dealing with when they go on a spending spree with mob money.

Together, the four of them have to figure out how to get back the hundreds of thousands in of Vince’s money Archie and Loretta have paid out and put down on everything from fur coats to condos. Then they just have to convince Vince to meet with them without shooting them so they can explain it all. Being that they are in New Jersey, they set the up meeting at one of Joey’s favorite god luck places, the Pinball Museum at Asbury Park out on the Jersey seashore. When Vince shows up with Big Angie and Carmine the Castrator in tow, someone had better be ready to do some fast thinking―and talking.

In the end, Zoey ends up being the one who stands up to the Jersey mob, explains how she put together a plan to recover the loot and basically saves the day ... and Joey’s butt. Again!
