My mother and I turned it off right after the first scene. It was gross.

You saved a bunch of time. It's not a big deal unless you got a hard-on for all-things-mafia.

Entertaining for a mafia film, sure. An essential classic? Far from it.

So much st*pid in one comment...

The non-fiction book was titled "Wiseguy." One of the reasons the title was changed was because of a TV show and movie already being named "Wiseguy."

They were wiseguy's, and worse, foul-mouthed, violent, bad role models and not too friendly.

The title is fitting but highly ironic, if not a misnomer.

A Goodfella is described as a trustworthy man within the Mafia world. The problem is that none of the main characters are even that LOL
