Oscar

Pros: Entertaining, funny movie. Good cast.
Cons: None

I was up late with the television on again. After flipping through the channels, I found a movie, Oscar, that was just coming on so I left it on. I’d seen Oscar a few times before and I’d liked it. It had been a...

Pros: Clever, subtle and continuously funny with jokes that build upon each other
Cons: A bit confusing

Oscar is something that I originally saw on TV at a friend's house, and then only a small part of it. It looked like an odd and unique movie that was intended to be a comedy, but had elements of things that I would not expect from a comedy made in the ...

Pros: Stallone in an intentional comedy does a great job
Cons: Must be watched beginning to end or you'll be lost

This was the 3rd in the trifecta of my midnight movie marathon this weekend. I had seen it when it first came out to the movie theater and loved it! Although the critics panned it, I thought it was great. However, if you watch it, you must watch it...

Pros: see sly speak, speak sly speak!
Cons: some people don't like the stereotypes

I never had a tremendous amount of respect for Sylvester Stallone as an actor. Sure, I liked the Rambos and Rockys as much as the next guy, but the man could not enunciate! I hate reading subtitles on Kung Fu movies, it's even worse when you have to do...

Pros: Funny, great cast
Cons: None

Oscar is a 1991 movie that stars Sylvester Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Vincent Spano, Chazz Palminteri, Tim Curry and more. This is a very lighthearted farce, set in 1931, about a gangster who promises his father (on his deathbed) he will go straight.

Pros: plenty of laughs
Cons: you have to have seen a mob flick to understand alot of the laughs

I found this movie on the $3.00 and under shelves so, I bought it not knowing that for three dollars I was going to find a new "favorite" movie.

To this day it is one of my favorites. First of all, besides Sylvester Stallone, it has...

Pros: Funny plot twists, play-like format, good use of characters, family friendly
Cons: Can be confusing, must watch from the beginning

Brief Summary: Oscar is about a Chicago mob boss, Angelo “Snaps” Provolone (Sylvester Stallone), who promises his dying father that he will go straight. Apart from this short clip in the beginning, the entire movie takes place on the morning ...

Pros: Hillariously witty, and refreshingly clean. Good plot that keeps you interested and guessing.
Cons: Jumps around a lot. Sorry, no explosions for you war-movie goers.

I have had a hard time finding movies that are both funny, witty, and clean. I have been a movie goer for quite a few years now. I am also a family man and I often like to bring movies home for my family to watch. But every year it gets harder and ...

Pros: very funny
Cons: none

Sylvester Stallone in a comedy? Yes, you heard me right. This is one of those movies where it twists and turns and people are not always who you think they are and it's never over until the ... well you know what I mean.

Hang on tight and...

Pros: Great cast, twists and turns, hilarious comedy
Cons: No cons.

Stallone can talk? He can deliver comedy lines with excellent timing? Not only that, but he can also fix it so that you will sleep with the fishes! In this smart and adorable roaring twenties comedy we find “Snaps” Provalone (Stallone) on the ...

Pros: Hysterical; complex; great acting.
Cons: None

When Snaps Provolone gives his dying father his word that he will give up his gangster ways, he strives to keep his word. His faithful gang members become his servants, he decides he wants to be a banker and he even takes speech lessons. His much...

Pros: "OSCAR: Sly is unbelievably funny in this hysterical tale of gangsters and goof-ups."
Cons: Not for all tastes.Not the most original, but done with a humor, unexpected from Stallone.

As a long-time Stallone watcher, I was not sure I'd like to see him in a comedic role.It was why I have avoided seeing this older movie until recently. I didn't think he'd be able to pull it off convincingly. The hero of First Blood, Rocky, Daylight, and...

Pros: funny, witty, fast. Beautiful period sets and costumes
Cons: May have to watch twice to enjoy every turn..

Here is a "sleeper" you will be glad you picked up. I rented it on a cold afternoon years ago and bought a copy as soon as it was available. Stallone was brilliant and fresh and believable as Snaps Provolone, the 30's era gangster trying to...
