Oscar was Sylvester Stallone's agreeable, 1991 effort at broad comedy, a fast-talking, suspender-snapping gangster farce featuring the Rambo star as a 1930s Chicago mob boss, Snaps Provolone, trying to go straight during overlapping personal crises. No, this isn't Billy Wilder, but director John Landis (Coming to America) has crackling fun with Oscar's fruit salad of traditional comic themes and tools, including mistaken identities, a powerful man's weakness for his children, and a nonstop parade of outre secondary characters. The cast includes Kirk Douglas as Stallone's father, whose deathbed wish compels Snaps to go into legitimate banking at the exact moment the latter's daughter (Marisa Tomei) announces her love for a chauffeur. Meanwhile, another woman claiming to be Snaps's offspring is engaged to a fellow (Vincent Spano) who has stolen $50,000 of the big man's money. Wackiness ensues. The winning cast includes Peter Riegert, Don Ameche, Chazz Palminteri, Eddie Bracken, Harry Shearer, Yvonne DeCarlo, and Bruce Davison. --Tom Keogh

How not to take yourself too seriously! June 15, 2009

What a Joke! What a Farce! What a Relief! Stallone is a rip roarin' wise guy going legit. And it never looked so hard or so funny as in this light hearted production that my children and I first watched 12 years ago. I just wanted to laugh while I was working late nights on a project . I didn't want ugliness, pain, drugs,overt sex, or nasty humor. I wanted to laugh at silly and 'Oscar 'delivered the goods. Stallone not only is beautiful to look at in his gorgeous suits but he can deliver a punch line as well and as fast as Rocky ever landed a fist. The film is filled to the brim with delicious performances from a brilliant cast bent on not slumming it.
My children went around repeating " Mr. Provolone! " in that special Tim Curry way anytime they wanted to reduce their siblings to giggles and my oldest son practiced the Stallone deadpan to the Camera look whenever he wanted to convey adolescent outrage with my current actions. This film is a great family funny night movie. Some mature themes: but handled well and with a light hand. Why didn't Stallone do more?!
 Avoid this company! Less than one star. April 7, 2009

How can I review a product I have never received? I've already paid for them, yet the three movies I ordered from that company have never arrived. All phone calls and emails to the company have gone unanswered and unreturned. What else can I do except say "to the buyer beware". I will never use that company again - and to be perfectly honest with you, since they popped up from your site, it paints Amazon in a less than favorable light with me. (And with the many others I've shared this experience with.)
Great movie in Great condition March 7, 2009

Oscar is a hilarious movie that I've been trying to get a hold of for quite some time, granted that the movie is kind of a quick/sly humor it's really funny, and clean too! I highly recommend this movie to anyone even if you're not a Sylvester Stallone fan.
Fantastic! January 6, 2009

I love this movie. I love the story, and I love the notion that Sylvester Stallone is starring in a movie that reminds me of a French farce. I highly recommend it.
Excellent and So Funny!! December 21, 2008
