Summary: This needs to be re-released!
Review: Oscar is a very funny movie with a very clever script. Why isn't this out on DVD?? I don't have a lot of DVDs, but I would definitely like to have this one in my library. It doesn't get much better than this for light-hearted entertainment.

Summary: Simply Put "Lots of Fun" but Hard to Find
Review: I saw this movie on cable a few times, each time I never got to watch it fully with all the distractions of every day life. Witch reminds me of the Oscar movie. I liked the portions that I saw. The fact he gets waken up early in the morning only to find out "the thug" accountant was stealing from him cracks me up because I can understand the feeling of being wakened for nothing. This movie is believable, for I would "be angry" at the visitor that woke me too early in the morning. I believe this movie to be a good adaption of the 'French Farce' genre theme. It gives the viewer many obstacles to overcome as the story goes along it gets even more twisted with numerious visitors, mixing of items, mixing up of people, mixing up of mysterious family members which appear out of the wood work at the wrong time as the police are watching the house for the priest comming to the house and the speach proffessor is giving lessons as the daugther is faking her pregnancy and much more. This movie is an ongoing process of visitors and activities it never stops...from beginning to end it is a delightful pleasure to watch keeping the interest not just in the acting but in the story line...for the story line is what drives this movie along. This movie is not a let down...and it never will be. After watching it on the Cable last month I wanted my own copy. So, the only let down is that it is not available to purchased at this time. But, When it becomes available I will be there.

Summary: Searching for Oscar
Review: This is an absolute feel good movie. It's entertaining from end to end, and shows a side of Sylvester Stalone most of us would never believe existed. My mother-in-law used to borrow my copy all the time. When I divorced, I lost it. I found that it never made it home with me. I love how I feel watching this movie and am desperate to replace it. I've been searching a long time. It's good clean fun great to watch with parents and children, enjoyed by all. Please help me replace mine.

Summary: Superb
Review: As a European living in America I'm frequently frustrated with lack of good multi-faceted comedies incorporating good script, good music and real acting. More often than not American comedies are movies where people either shoot each other or drop into slime/cakes/salads or throw them at each other (or similar actions), which the audience should consider to be very funny. This comedy is like a breath of fresh air. It's more "European" in its style, it incorporates Rossini's music, its tempo and its humor is really tasteful, and Stallone sparkles as a real actor, not just an attachment to a machine-gun, as in his other movies... And it shows that Americans still remember that there is culture somewhere... THANKS.

Summary: The Ultimate Sleeper
Review: If critics didn't like this movie it is only because they have no sense of humor! Stallone is a genius comic actor and his roll as "Snaps" shows his unbelievable range as an actor. Personally, I think I prefer him in comedic rolls. Of course he has a great cast to surround him, Tim Curry is always fantastic, Vincent Spano & Marisa Tomei hold their own with Stallone as comic actors. This is a great movie for anyone that enjoys comedy. If you find it anywhere - please let me know!! WHY DON'T THEY RE-RELEASE THIS FILM??!!

Summary: "Oscar "Sylvester Stallone
Review: Stallone out did himself as Snaps Provolone. A Chicago gangster that promises his father, that he would quit his life of crime. This movie is an absolute hoot. Fast paced and a laugh a minute. I hope TouchStone would re-release it on DVD. I would snatch it up in a second. Truly one of the funniest movies of all time. I would like to see Stallone in more comedies, he is a natural.

Summary: You need to bag this film
Review: Sylvester Stallone plays a gangster (Snaps Provolone.) He promises his dying father (Kirk Douglas) that he will go straight. Nobody is ready for this. Local bankers want his money. Local law enforcement wants to make a pinch. His accountant wants a raise. His elocution instructor (Tim Curry) is eyeing his daughter. His maid is moving up in the world. The Finuccis have him covered. Several black bags are exchanged. And who is Oscar?

Summary: One of the best

Summary: What a way to laugh!
Review: In OSCAR, Sylvester Stallone's displays something which has not been seen before: a wonderful comic role. With a wonderful cast, this movie is enjoyable and reminds me of "A Comedy of Errors" with a setting in the 30's. Through it all, I found that I was laughing heartily and that OSCAR is a very funny movie.

It is well worth finding this movie ... and enjoying it over and over and over! It may not be what the "movie critics" think is delightful ... but for many of us it is fun and delightful ... and keeps us laughing. And that does the job for me!
