Mobsters and Mormons

Mobsters and Mormons is a 2005 film about New Jersey mobster Carmine "The Beans" Pasquale, who is caught in the act of performing some business. In an effort to avoid jail time and protect his family, Carmine agrees to testify against his boss and be placed in Witness Protection. His new name is George Cheeseman and his new home is a suburb in Utah, Mormon central.

His mobster nickname came from his love of fine coffee, and coming to a place where the people don't drink coffee is nearly a deal breaker. But while he doesn't like most of his Mormon neighbors and they don't like him, George does grow fond of the Jaymes family. He reluctantly attends some Sunday activities and social functions, and despite himself starts to appreciate his own family more and attends his own Roman Catholic services.

But he still has enemies who want him dead, and is eventually tracked down.

This film provides examples of:

 * Directed By Cast Member: Director John Moyer played FBI agent Tuttle.
 * Faking the Dead:
 * Hey Its That Guy: You might have seen Mark DeCarlo around, but probably recognize his voice in works like Jimmy Neutron. Oleysa Rulin (Julie) is more famous for her role as Kelsi from High School Musical.
 * Shout Out: The line "Leave the gun, take the granola." is a reference to The Godfather: "Leave the gun, take the canola."
