Watch Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

best movie i've ever seen.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I found this movie to be very watchable. I had read about it on Stallone's trivia and because of the awful reviews and what has been said about it I thought that I would turn it off after ten minutes. Instead I thought it was really funny, better than other comedy movies like 'The Hangover' which are critically acclaimed. I think people just like to belittle Sly, and his appearance in such a movie was an easy target. Him and Estelle Getty had great chemistry together. As a comedy it succeeds, and I would recommend it to anyone. Don't believe the reviewers who are constantly shoving pretentious, mediocre and often very unfunny comedies down the viewing public's throat! After my experience watching this movie I'm going to check out 'Oscar', another of Stallone's comedy outlets, and in future ignore IMDb's rating system, the top 250 is questionable; so perhaps I should start at the bottom, where this magnificent film has so unfairly been placed!

I'm definitely not a fan of this movie , yet I have to defend it a little bit . I've seen worse movies. Worse comedies . Comedies that made my heart hurt . Comedies that almost made me commit suicide. For example "Freedy got fingered". Or some of Adam Sandler movies. This ? This is just a lame comedy . The jokes are incredibly forced and you can see a punch line coming from miles away. Also , the action scenes suck. But all in all this is definitely NOT one of the worst movies I've seen . I actually think that Estelle Getty gave good performance as Sly's mother , except popular opinion. The idea itself isn't bad . I wonder if it wouldn't be much better , if Stallone would write the screenplay for himself ? He's obviously got a sense of humor and I'm pretty sure that the movie would at least be watchable thanks to some of Sly's lovely silly dialogue.Overall , it's a forgettable movie , but not necessarily one that makes you scream in pain. I give it 1/10.

Somehow I've missed this one over the years; didn't even know about it I guess, but watched it just now on NetFlix & glad I saw it. It was a lot of fun. The chemistry between Stallone & Getty was great & I love some of the one liners...many of which are not played up but there as little treats. Two supporting actors have played in Jurrasic Park (1 & 2). Stallone is said to have hated this little gem but I'm sorry he feels that way; after 'Cobra', the Rockies & John Rambo flicks, it was a treat to see him do comedy, of which he did very well.*** SPOILERS *** When Getty (as the mother) trains a gun on a bad guy she says "I'll be back" to which Stallone rolls his eyes and says "Mom, don't say 'I'll be Back'; cops don't say I'll be back', Terminators say that." There's a lot of that sort of fun in the movie.Cheesy? sure; fun? Yes, a lot.

Contrary to popular belief, Sylvester Stallone can do comedy just fine. His acting performance in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" isn't bad at all, he captures the right tone for the role and has pretty good chemistry with on-screen mother Estelle Getty. Only problem: it just doesn't make a damn bit of difference. This is one of the most poorly-scripted comedies I have ever seen, the best delivery in the world couldn't save this utter void of good material. All the humor is derived from the mother endlessly meddling, and by endlessly I mean the first half hour or so. After that they don't even go for jokes anymore and just have Stallone get into bloodless gunfights like you're watching a TV-edit to "Rambo". It's never quite clear if this movie wants to be a terrible comedy or a terrible police drama, they just keep betting on both horses. There's also a love subplot involved that's mainly there to pad out the running time, and credit where credit is due, it does. It's really boring and all, but that's of minor importance to the makers. It's sorta unfortunate Stallone gave up on comedies after this one, but it's also understandable.
