Some real belly laughs

If ever a boy was overshadowed and controlled by his mother, Stallone is it. He actually makes you believe that he is in such turmoil with his feelings about his mom and girlfriends. In the late 80's when big box office draws like Arnold & Bruce were trying their hands at comedy it was Sly's turn. Although this falls short at times and especially at the end, it is so enjoyable watching Estelle and Sly interact as mother and son that the premise is believable. However, some of the bad guy situations are not. The bad guys are portrayed like idiots and don't really create a good sense of danger for mother & son, he being a cop. But, there are plenty of real howls that carry this 20 some odd year old picture. If you want something not too deep and fun I recommend this.

A Dud With Sly but Could Have Been a Gem With A Real Comedian

Don't get me wrong. I'm a Sly fan and I love Rhinestone despite people raking it over the coals even after 20 years. I love Stallone! But Stallone should never make another comedy again. He is not funny and watching him trying to be is as painful as sticking nails under your toes. All of them have been busts. Obviously Stallone has always wanted to do comedy but will never be accepted by the public for them, so he'll always receive a backlash.

There were a lot of things in this movie that didn't make sense and were unbelievable. The part where Stallone climbs up a building to talk down a man who wants to commit suicide is ridiculous. I don't believe an average detective would be the one in charge of talking down jumpers. Also, I don't know an officer who would take his mother with him on cases where they are risking their lives. I also believe there would be some kind of policy against Stallone taking his mother off on his cases. The scenes will insult your intelligence but what's really ridiculous was how gullible Getty's character was. The woman is about seventy years old and yet she doesn't know it's illegal to buy a Mack 10 from a van of stolen guns? She also doesn't know that you don't WASH guns? I guess these are the funny parts that didn't go over well. It's hard to buy that a woman as old as Getty would be so stupid when it came to the simpliest things. At least the dog was cute.

Stop or My Mom Will Shoot! is really not that bad and would have been pretty good if not for Sly. The main problem is that it's painful to watch Sly who seems to be completely out of his comfort zone. He tries too hard to be funny which proves that a real comedian should have been in the role. This was probably the worst comedy of the 1990's along with A Cop and A Half with Burt Reynolds. Both films were terrible attempts to make aging ex-action stars comedians. I love Sly but even I can't understand what the heck he was thinking starring in this movie! It was completely embarrassing to a man of his ability. I am also an Estelle Getty fan and loved Golden Girls but her performance is cliche and one dimensional. In fact, Getty does no real acting only plays Sophia Petrillo on the big screen.

I definitely don't think this movie is horrible as some people want to make it out to be. Most of the groaning comes from fans of Stallone who throws fits every time he's in anything other than a Rocky or Rambo sequel. The man is definitely brave to try his hand at other things but he needs to forget comedy. I think Estelle Getty along with someone like Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Eugene Levy or Martin Short would have been outrageous. But Sly is the reason this film doesn't come across. He spends his time trying to be funny and that's a sign that he's not. Sly and Getty are very convincing as mother and son and their scenes together are cute but would have gone over better if this movie was a drama.

If you like light-hearted comedies that borderline on silly and outrageous then check this out. It might not be very funny but it's a movie you can watch without having to think. Or just watch it for the adorable little dog.
