The Get Shorty franchise consists of American gangster-comedies, including two theatrical films and a television series spin-off. Based on the titular novel by Elmore Leonard, the plot of the installments center around individuals within the criminal mafia organization, who are determined to leave the organization and pursue careers in the film and music industries. Featuring an cast ensemble, the story includes the realities of immoral conduct within various industries through the comedic lens.

The franchise as a whole has been met with mixed success. The original film received positive critical response,[3] and successfully turned a financial profit in theaters.[1] Alternatively, its sequel was met with negative reception by critics who called it inferior to its predecessor,[4] and also earned less in its ticket sales at the box office.[2] The spin-off television series however, was met with a range of reactions with some critics praising its approach,[5][6] while others concluded that it was lacking in comparison to the original movie.[7][8][9] Despite the mixed critical response, the show was deemed a success among audiences due to its viewership figures.[5]
