Also a 1990 movie starring Matthew Broderick, Penelope Ann Miller, and Marlon Brando, as, well, a guy who looks just like Don Corleone from The Godfather.

IMDB plot summary:

Clark Kellogg is a young man starting his first year at film school in New York City. After a small time crook steals all his belongings, Clark meets Carmine "Jimmy the Toucan" Sabatini, an "importer" bearing a startling resemblance to a certain cinematic godfather. When Sabatini makes Clark an offer he can't refuse, he finds himself caught up in a caper involving endangered species and fine dining.

It's a very cute film. Miller is a gorgeous young Italian woman, Broderick is his typical self-effacing guy, and Brando is quite funny. The plot twists are witty despite being simple. It's a breezy, fun to rent film. Don't expect Gandhi or something like that and you'll do fine.
