My Blue Heaven is a 1990 comedy film directed by Herbert Ross and starring Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, and Joan Cusack. The film revolves around the character of Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli (Steve Martin), a former mobster who is in the witness protection program, and his relationships with an uptight FBI agent named Barney Coopersmith (Rick Moranis) and his wife Hannah Stubbs (Joan Cusack).

The movie begins with Vincent's testimony against his former boss, causing him to go into witness protection. He is sent to a small suburban town in California, where he is placed under the care of Barney. When Vinnie first arrives, he is still up to his old tricks, trying to charm everyone he meets and getting into trouble with the law. However, as he spends more time in the town, he starts to adapt to his new life and even begins to enjoy it.

Barney, on the other hand, is struggling to deal with Vinnie's behavior. He is a by-the-book FBI agent who takes his job very seriously and sees Vinnie as a hindrance to his work. However, as Vinnie starts to integrate himself into the town, Barney learns to appreciate him and even becomes his friend.

The film is filled with humorous situations, including Vinnie's attempts to fit in with the locals at a bowling alley and his obsession with ice cream. It also features a love story between Barney's wife, Hannah, and a local district attorney, who is prosecuting the case against the mobsters Vinnie testified against.

One of the best parts of the film is Steve Martin's performance as Vinnie. He brings his trademark zaniness to the character, making him both likable and hilarious. Rick Moranis also shines as the straight-laced Barney, who is constantly exasperated by Vinnie's antics. Joan Cusack provides some much-needed grounding to the film as the only sensible character who must navigate the antics of both men.

In addition to the strong performances, the film is also notable for its soundtrack, which features classic songs from the 1950s and 1960s, adding to the film's charming and nostalgic feel.

Overall, My Blue Heaven is a fun, lighthearted comedy that will leave audiences laughing and feeling good. Its talented cast, humorous situations, and nostalgic soundtrack make it a classic that is still enjoyable to watch today.
