Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)

One of my all time favorites.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

best movie i've ever seen.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Stallone has made a few turds in his career - Grudge Match, Rhinestone, Judge Dredd and Rocky V being examples, however they are nowhere near as bad as this. Truly one of the most unfunny comedies ever.The premise is that Stallone's tough-cop character is visited by his nosy, interfering mother (Estelle Getty) after he breaks up with his partner. From here, it basically consists of a string of sequences where she does bad-ass things with weapons and the like alongside him.The main problem I had with this film is that it simply isn't funny. The gags and punchlines that are meant to make us laugh completely fail, and then proceed to repeat themselves throughout the film. Stallone and Getty weren't funny at all in the film, and I don't know how the filmmakers thought they were going to get people to laugh here.Want to get someone to confess to anything? Say "Stop! or you'll have to see 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot'".

Stop or my Mom will Shoot is by no means the funniest movie ever made or Stallone's best film ever but common he thinks that this is his worst movie? I think Stallone is a great actor and by no means i don't think he ever made a god-awful unwatchable film but he has made some not so awesome films like Bullet to the Head where his charisma is the only thing that shines. Sylvester Stallone & Estelle Getty have chemistry unlike what some people might tell you and the action is pretty well done and the humor is nice as well also the film has some lessons about life for example. There were a lot of problems on set like the producers lied to Getty that the film had no guns but it had or that Arnold Schwarzenegger faked his interest about the film and Stallone took the role and the film flopped. In the end Stop or my Mom will Shoot is no masterpiece but sure as hell it doesn't deserve the 4 out of 10 rating i mean did people seriously thought that the Fantastic Four reboot was better than this? really?

The interaction between Stallone and Getty was fantastic. The two play their roles to perfection. They were very believable, but more importantly they were hysterical.I would watch this again, just to watch Stallone and Getty play the mom and son role so true to life. They made us cringe. We really felt for Stallone as the son. They made us laugh non stop. Had to give this movie a 6 out of 10, because the story was corny. The plot was predictable and the supporting cast was lacking. This is not a thriller or an intelligent movie. It is a B comedy, it knows that, and it happy to be it.Funny story to share: the reason why Stallone accepted this role was because he was told that Arnold was trying to steal away from him. When he did the film, Arnold told him he spread the rumor because he wanted to see Stallone do a stupid comedy like this.

I found this movie to be very watchable. I had read about it on Stallone's trivia and because of the awful reviews and what has been said about it I thought that I would turn it off after ten minutes. Instead I thought it was really funny, better than other comedy movies like 'The Hangover' which are critically acclaimed. I think people just like to belittle Sly, and his appearance in such a movie was an easy target. Him and Estelle Getty had great chemistry together. As a comedy it succeeds, and I would recommend it to anyone. Don't believe the reviewers who are constantly shoving pretentious, mediocre and often very unfunny comedies down the viewing public's throat! After my experience watching this movie I'm going to check out 'Oscar', another of Stallone's comedy outlets, and in future ignore IMDb's rating system, the top 250 is questionable; so perhaps I should start at the bottom, where this magnificent film has so unfairly been placed!
