Best movie ever!

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot is a comedy directed by Roger Spottiswoode (Turner And Hooch) and starring Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), Estelle Getty (TV sitcom The Golden Girls), and JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist). Stallone plays Joey Bomowski, L.A. cop who gets a surprise visit from his mother Tutti, played by Getty. She's in town to clean up Joey's house, clean up his crumbling love life with his boss Gwen, played by Williams, and clean up the city as she partners up with her son to catch some bad guys who were involved in a crime that she is the only witness to. Joey, on the other hand, must deal with his mother showing everybody she meets his baby pictures, washing his gun with water and soap, and feeding him breakfast (the most important meal of the day!) The movie is silly but mildly entertaining. Getty and Stallone's on screen chemistry is the worst since Dolly Parton and Stallone's duet performance in Rhinestone.There's really not much to say about "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot". It follows a recurring gag: the mother embarrassing her son, whether he's at home or on the job. Estelle Gelly sure is an old-fashion mother, very unrealistically so. She baked cookies, tucked her son to bed and sang a lullaby, made a huge breakfast for her son to eat, and even telling stories that he wet the bed (on a speakerphone), even in front of a suicide jumper next to Sly at one point; I know mothers often pamper their children, but normal mothers know when their child grows up. I understand it's a joke, but I don't really understand her at times: she seems very smart when she's helping Sly find some bad guys, but often she's very clueless like when she randomly bought an illegal weapon for her son; idiot savant or wise senility? I know the late great Golden Girl can be funnier than what she was in this movie, and the outrageous zany music didn't acclimate a dumb gag. It's a typical 90's screwball buddy-cop flick with an unusual partner, the unusual one being a senior citizen. The relationship between Sly and his mother had a few heartfelt moments, sappy as they are, which made me felt attached to them a bit. This is a generic flick, but it's a generic flick that plays fair.Overall rating: 6 out of 10.

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.

"Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" is a film that has been periodically displayed in some Brazilian TV channels, and I've never paid any attention on it. Last week, I saw its trailer and thought that it could be, somehow, ingenuously funny. Last night I gave it a chance and I can say it is, if not funny, at least entertaining. Joe Bomowski is a cop that lives by himself in an apartment, and when his mother decides visiting him, she turns his life upside down. The story is probably based on the caricatured image of overprotective mothers, which are relatively common, especially with their boys. Mothers in general tend to worry about their kids' lives even after they're grown, and filmmakers of this picture showed it in a silly comedy. The cast isn't any bad, and Estelle Getty knows exactly how to perform the character she has been given. Of course the plot isn't filled with intelligent thoughts or moments, but it's full of embarrassing scenes that make you feel like home. If you're guy, it's very probable that you will remember some restricting moment you've been in with your mom throughout the years. Just don't expect anything serious out of it and you'll certainly have a good time!

Sylvester Stallone is an iconic action star and Estelle Getty was a hilarious, sarcastic and witty Golden Girl. Put the two together and you'll get yourself one charming action-comedy, where tough Los Angeles cop Sgt. Joe Bomowski (Stallone) gets a visit from his nurturing, feisty and fearless mother Tutti (Getty), who beings to meddle in Joe's life affairs, interfering with his police work and love life.There are some very oddball and corny humor with some campy dialog in the movie, at mostly the expense of Stallone and Getty. The supporting actors were given the back burner and the villains were unforgettable. And yet, while the plot goes at a very steady-pace with limited action, I've found the comedic chemistry between Stallone and Getty, which make up most of the movie, to be pretty entertaining and fun to watch and is, at times, heartwarming. Getty's obsessive behavior to be very baby-nurturing to Stallone as he responds in his frustrated way is itself classic. And, it's not everyday you see a petite, motherly, 68 year-old lady brandish a gun and deal with gangsters! While not an action flick that would blow you out of your seats, you will get several laughs out of this movie.Grade B-
