Almost a comedy.

If you dislike (or misunderstand) it so much, why do you say 'every time I see it'?
Do you make it a habit to regularly watch films you feel miss the mark so badly?
Idiot.
Never defend crap with "It's just a movie"

If you can not see how funny this movie is I feel sorry for you.
I have watched it countless times, and it always has a lot of fun to it.
I am not dismissing it in any way, I find so much of the hatred here to be very amusing. But if you can't see line after line as having a conscious element of playfulness, I feel sorry that you are so dogmatic to the overdone genre- and Al the saint.
Find some joy in life. It is there to find in anything, especially when there is so much dialog which was definitly fun to hear- finding more than mob talk and tough antics of the elderly.

"Likely due to the ham fisted and annoying marriage sub plot- which is never engaging and barely fits the tone of the rest of the movie. "
==What do you mean by ham fisted?
As for the marriage, I'm guessing the real agent was married and those parts were more or less real. Why should the movie avoid the private life of the Donnie Brasco agent? -

Morons will laugh at anything.
Huh? I guess some people like calling people morons who are disagree with them to feel big.
It's hilarious. And it's far from being considered a comedy. Scarface is funny, so is Carlito's Way: Rise to Power. Not to mention the Sopranos. This is funny the same way those movies are. Certain parts are funny, and most of those guys were pretty silly, yet serious when they needed to be. It's not like the OP said the part in the Japanese restaurant was funny.
Here's a funny line
Lefty: Donny, ask him why this place is suck a effin dumb.
It's funny because the guy can hear him, and Donny still asks him.
Or this
Sonny: What? You thought I was gonna whack ya?
Or even when Sonny gets mad at Lefty and everyone else at his social club for not earning especially Nicky for making fun of Lefty's effort.
It's funny, but it's not "Mafia" with Jay Mohr. It's Sopranos funny, everyone is quick-witted.
People shouldn't become internet tough-guys because some disagrees with you. Voice your opinion, it's your constitutional right, but why be a jerk. If we were sitting in the same room, you probably wouldn't be so smug with the OP. Just because he thinks it's Almost a comedy. I think you're almost a cyberbully.

[Lefty is cooking dinner]
Lefty: Punch of salt.
Donnie Brasco: Punch?
Lefty: Punch. Punch of salt.
Donnie Brasco: Punch or pinch?
Lefty: Punch, punch. Not pinch. What'd I say? I say pinch?
Donnie Brasco: Nah, you said you said punch.
Lefty: Sometimes you don't make no f#cking sense, Donnie.
