Summary: And people say Stallone can't do comedy.
Review: This is one of the funniest movies of all time. Great time, and perfect cast, and fast moving & ever twist plot make this flick a constant laugh riot.Stallone plays a prohibiton era bootlegger/mob boss who is trying to go legit. And wouldn't you know it, on the day he's supposed to seal the deal, everything goes wrong. The cops and his rivals think he's hooking up with a Chicago gang. His accountant wants to marry his daughter. And the maid quit to marry his daughter's fiance. And that not to mention the mysterious black bags that might contain cash, jewels, or underwear...

Summary: Oscar is a delight !
Review: A delightful comedy directed by John Landis (Trading Places, Coming To America) and starring Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) in one of his best performances to date. He plays a gangster who is trying to lead a clean life as a banker after vowing to his dying father (played by Kirk Douglas) to leave his life of crime. The events that occur on the day he will become a banker puts him and everybody around in one big surprise after the other. Funny performances by Marisa Tomei, Tim Curry, and the remaining cast. Oscar is a classic comedy despite the negative reviews it recieved when it was released. The audience loved it. Well at least I did! Recommended A-

Summary: the best
Review: This is the best Stallone's role and his best performance. It is very different from everything he's done so far. The rest of the cast is also great - lots of famous faces and 109 minutes of brilliant play :) This movie lies among those, which outperform the original version, what happens very rarely (there is a French movie "Oscar" starring Louis de Funès).

Summary: Hilarious Bedroom Farce
Review: This was a very funny movie, Sylvester Stallone and the rest of the cast were great. I dont know why it was not a big hit. One of my favorite comidies along with Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Noises Off and Big Trouble (Tim Allens movie). Made me laugh out loud countless times. Under rated and not appreciated by critics and public for the great bedroom farce it was. Sly was right on the nose with this comedy but few seemed to appreciate it for the very funny film it was, too bad. Have been looking for a copy for years and now I have it on DVD for my unlimited viewing pleasure, Horray!

Summary: Hilarious!!!!
Review: I really don't know why this movie was not a hit. It had a stellar cast and a very funny plot. Previously I was only accustomed to seeing Stallone in action movies so this was a very pleasant surprise. He performance was great along with Tim Curry, Ornella Muti, Chazz Palminteri and others. This is a great buy even after all this time.

Summary: A Classic Stallone Comedy
Review: Oscar is a very funny movie, lets get that straight right now. OScar plays out like a play which is why it works so well. The plot is all focused on the day that Avangelo Provalone (Stallone) is going straight and becoming a banker. However on this morning all sorts of crazy things happen involving his Accountant, Daughter, a woman claiming to be his Daughter, his wife, the Maid, and the hired guns as the main focus ends up being on a black bag full of jewels. With all sorts of quirkiness (and the police watching his house) constantly this plays out like a play. Which is why it is funny.

Summary: "Fenocci's Stand!"
Review: As with the other reviewers I have to say this was a very funny film. I enjoyed it the first time I saw it on t.v. when I was younger, and I still love the characters in this crazy mistaken identity plot. And how could anyone not like the Fenocci brothers! I must admit I was very surprised that Sly was chosen for this role, but he does quite a comedic act. I think if he had done more comic roles earlier critics would have given him a chance. One thing more about the movice, who doesn't love Marissa Tomei as a spoiled princess!

Summary: There Are No Small Roles, Just Small Actors
Review: Despite the fact that Tim Curry's role as Dr. Thorton Poole was small, it was still done to perfection.
It's most unusual that we see Tim playing a naive, clean cut role such as this one, and it's a rare delicacy.
I recommend you watch this movie, not just for Tim's performance but for the entire cast, every actor and actress in this movie did an outstanding job!

Summary: Funny movie!
Review: I saw this movie for the first time many years ago, and it still keeps me laughing! To this day, I can't hear/see the word oxymoron without thinking of the line "You're an ox and a moron!" Although Sylverster Stallone is better known for his action roles, I've never enjoyed him more than as the mobster who's trying to go straight while also dealing with the craziness surrounding him. This movie has an outstanding supporting cast (especially Chazz Palminteri and Tim Curry) who pull off all the craziness like pros. It may not be the most sophisticated movie ever, but it is one of the funniest, if you don't mind a few cliches. Definitely worth watching!
