Summary: Family Favorite!
Review: When I was still in middle school some family friends rented this to watch with us. Ever since then it has been a family favorite to boot! No dirty language, no smutty scenes, and the best comedy I've ever seen. Stallone does a great job as do all the other stars (Tomei, Curry, etc). I guarantee you'll enjoy this movie.

Summary: Going Straight is Never Easy....
Review: Talk about a comedy with non-stop twists and surprises, "Oscar" is a hilarious movie that keeps you laughing throughout. You even feel quite exhausted after it's all said and done since there's so much going on. This has always been a favorite of mine, and I'm glad to see that it has finally found its way on DVD.I'm going to be very brief when going over the storyline. The great thing about the movie is being surprised minute by minute. The basic story is about "Snaps" Provolone, a powerful Chicago gangster that is feared by many. However, Snaps is about to go straight because he promised his dying father on his deathbed that he would go legit. However, it's not going to be easy. In only 24 hours of trying to be straight, everything goes straight to hell, and everything that could go wrong does. And that's when all of the fun begins. This is a terrific comedy that can be enjoyed by just about everyone. It's only PG, so it's something that even the whole family can enjoy. Sylvester Stallone can really be a card and is hilarious when given the right opportunity. His facial expressions and outbursts are truly unforgettable. And there's so many great people in this out-of-control loony bin (many that you'll recognize in a heart-beat). The movie has a lot of brains too. For a comedy it is extremely complex and well-thought out. John Landis does a terrific job of directing this movie. The screenplay is brilliantly funny and very surprising with every step. You'll find yourself repeating many of the lines as you watch this over and over again. The DVD really doesn't have much to offer, but for a movie like this there's really no need to have a lot of special features (it would've been nice to have SOME though!). There's not even a theatrical trailer, so be warned. The picture and sound quality is pretty good (nice to see that it's enhanced for 16x9 TVs). So, it could've been a better DVD, but in all honesty I'm just glad to see that it is finally on DVD. "Oscar" is an outstanding comedy that proves that a movie can be funny and smart at the same time. Bring the family and enjoy the chaos that happens in this crazy circus of gangsters, not-so-smart hit-men, crooked accountants, snobbish bankers, frustrated cops, confused priests, and more. "Oscar" is definitely worth checking out, especially if you want to have a great time and laugh like crazy. You really will be surprised if you have not seen this movie yet, so give it a shot!

Summary: Favorite Stallone Movie
Review: This shows how wrong the viewing public is by letting this movie bomb in the theaters. I loved it from the first time I saw it. It was such a departure from Stallone's usual violent filled movies. The entire cast did a great job and even loved the cameo part with Kirk Douglas at the beginning of the movie. I would highly recommend this movie and you won't get a better price for it anywhere.

Summary: entertainment
Review: For pure entertainment value, I love this movie. It's nice to see the hardcore action guys not take themselves so serious and have a little fun. Although my favorite character in the movie is Tim Curry's elocutionist. (he was a great cardinal in 3Ms, too). The best part? This is a movie my kids can watch and get as much enjoyment as I do. Wonderful that it's on DVD!!!

Summary: FINALLY out on DVD!
Review: This is one of the most underrated movies in the history of modern (post 1950) cinema! People stayed away in droves because they didn't trust Stallone to carry a comedy, but he and his fantastic ensemble take an already delicious farce and elevate it even beyond the source material. See why Peter Reigert, Chazz Palminteri, and Marisa Tomei even have careers! It's a classic farce, with snappy dialogue and delish production design too. I'm getting two just on principle.

Summary: FUNNY, UNFORGETTABLE,AMUSING-I LOVE IT
Review: There's something special about 'Oscar'. I really enjoy this film. I think it's wonderfully enjoyable. Sylvester Stallone is perfect as Oscar, nobody could of done it better. And well done John Landis for casting the fantastict,talented, spellbinding and amazingly beautiful Ornella Muti. Marisa Tomei is fantastic and so funny. All the actors are delicious in this film. I can't wait to own it, this film should be in everybodies film collection.

Summary: This movie flopped??!??
Review: I'll never understand the taste of movie critics and their impact on theater ticket sales. How, in the name of all that's good and funny, did this movie ever flop at the box office?? Stellar cast, comedy of errors, mistaken identities, and a funny script make this movie one of those "You gotta see it!" rentals. Better yet, now that it's coming out on DVD, BUY IT!! The best example of other comedy movies that I can think of that are similar to "Oscar" would be anything by the Marx Bros. (ie "Duck Soup"). I first saw this flick on a flight back from overseas and there wasn't one person who wasn't laughing. Well, there was one, but 5mins after I woke him up and slapped some headphones on him, he was laughing right along with the rest of us.

Summary: When will we see a DVD version of Oscar???
Review: I have been totally bummed out trying to find Oscar on any format. The VHS are completely out of stock and the only DVD version I've found sells in Germany. All those who've ever watched and loved this movie like I have need to rise up and petition to get Oscar on DVD here in the United States. Hey, it worked for Willow!
