Will Oscar be seen as a cult film in the future? I don't know how many years it takes for a film to be start being considered underrated or cult even. 10? 20 years? Oscar was a bomb at the time of release but now in hindsight the film fares much better. Stallone is great as the Itallian gangster having a crisis both existentially and from his immediate family. This is an underrated movie in my opinion but you be the judge. This isn't one of Stallone's better films but it is a much better film than stop, or my mom will shoot.

Fantastic cast. You'll laugh out loud. I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Sylvester did great in this comedy, he was really funny. The plot is great, it has twists, you keep on laughing the entire time.I haven't watched the original one so i don't know which one is better but I'm totally satisfied with this version, it has everything a great movie needs. I'll be honest with you I rarely find comedy movies worth watching (most of them just makes you laugh few times only) but this one takes comedy into new level.While watching it I kept on laughing my family got excited they wanted to watch it.I watch this movie whenever I feel down. This is maybe one of the best comedies I have seen. It's a must-see movie, way better than modern comedy movies.

It's the depression era and 4 million are out of work. Chicago gangster Angelo "Snaps" Provolone (Sylvester Stallone) promises his father on his death bed to go straight. A month later, he's looking to put his money into the banks who are desperate for his cash. His young accountant Anthony Rossano wants a big raise to marry Teresa. Teresa told Anthony that she's Snaps' daughter and Snaps thinks Anthony is talking about his spoiled daughter Lisa (Marisa Tomei). Anthony had kept almost $50k of Snaps' money and offers the jewels he bought with the money in exchange for his daughter. Then Lisa lies to her father that she got pregnant by their former chauffeur Oscar. She wants to escape her over-protective father. Snaps is eager to marry her off. There is a long-running misunderstanding between Snaps and Anthony. Also speech therapist Dr. Thornton Poole (Tim Curry) is secretly in love with Lisa. Police led by Lt. Toomey is sure that Snaps is working on a large illegal deal.This movie tired me out. It's one of those old fashion screwball comedies where there are a ton of misunderstandings and a bag of jewels that keeps going to the wrong person. The problem is that the movie is relying on the miscommunications to be funny all on their face value. Isn't it funny that Snaps and Anthony don't understand each other? For me, a comedy needs more than misunderstandings. It needs real comedians with real comic timing. Sly is yelling a lot and his anger is suppose to be funny. Vincent Spano is even less funny although it may be his annoying character. At least, Marisa Tomei tries to be wacky but she's also rather annoying. I watched this a long time ago and I watched it again recently. Both times, the movie gave me a headache and that's the last of Oscar for me.

But it wasn't this movie! Award Winning Cast! Probably Stallone's best opportunity to break away from the Rambo and Rocky images, this is one of the most enjoyable, pleasant, family entertaining movies ever made.Where is should be a classic, it was deep-shelved and removed from any video, DVD or online streaming lists. But as the movie's own tag-line said: "In crime and comedy, timing is everything".While Stallone takes center stage, this beautifully arranged supporting staff, wonderfully done cinematography and brilliantly written script make this a movie for the masses that should have had a 2nd and 3rd life in video and DVD sales... and would be one of the most viewed videos on Netflix given the chance.Just the sound bytes of Tim Curry's Dr. Thornton Poole, Peter Riegert's Aldo, Chazz Palminteri's Friendly thug Connie...If you don't catch yourself off guard laughing and this fast moving quippy dialog, you are missing your humor gene.
