Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Claudio Carvalho The tough Sergeant Detective Joseph Andrew "Joe" Bomowski (Sylvester Stallone) is an efficient cop that has a love affair with his Lieutenant Gwen Harper (JoBeth Williams), but he never proposes her to a serious commitment. When his overprotective mother Tutti Bomowski (Estelle Getty) comes from Newark, New Jersey, to spend a couple of day visiting him, his life turns upside-down. She decides to clean his pistol with bleach and ruins it; so she decides to buy another weapon for Joe and stumbles upon two criminals selling illegal weapons. But there is a shootout and Tutti witnesses a murder. Now she has to stay with Joe since she is a witness, driving him crazy with her interference."Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" is an unfunny and moronic comedy with an imbecile story that does not make laugh. Estelle Getty is awful in the role of Tutti Bomowski, one of the most annoying and silly characters ever. It is impossible to laugh with her attitudes that seem to be symptoms of dementia. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Pare! Senão Mamãe Atira" ("Stop! Otherwise Mom Shoots")

sol- Unusual circumstances lead to a hard-nosed detective teaming up with his domineering mother in this action comedy starring Sylvester Stallone, who once cited it as the worst film of his acting career. With Stallone's comment and the film's sweep at the 1992 Razzies, 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot' has gained an unfairly negative reputation over the years. Estelle Getty is certainly way over-the-top and the basic plot is predictable with Stallone eventually coming to appreciate his mother after a lot of resistance, but there are enough scattered laughs that the film never once bores. Roger Rees (who would go onto to hilariously lampoon Alan Rickman in 'Men in Tights' one year later) is great as the befuddled antagonist in the tale, managing to maintain a straight face while talking about Getty's plans to pull down his pants and spank him! Alan Silvestri's mysterious, jazzy music score also rates as one of his best and Getty has some funny lines even if her character is too irksome for one to ever truly warm towards. The action scenes are admittedly quite nifty too (director Roger Spottiswoode would later go helm the riveting 'Tomorrow Never Dies'). Sure, this not a refreshingly classy, laugh-out-loud comedy like 'Oscar' was for Stallone, but neither is it anywhere near as mediocre as one might expect. Stallone's uttering the title line is worth a chuckle alone.

utgard14 Diverting but meatless comedy about a cop (Sylvester Stallone) whose mother (Estelle Getty) comes to visit him and interferes in his life, both personally and professionally. It's not very funny and you'll likely yawn more than once, but it's all harmless enough. I like Sly so I'll watch pretty much anything of his at least once. Estelle Getty was, of course, awesome on Golden Girls. Her character here has a lot less bite than on that show, though. She doesn't really bring much to the table besides the visual joke of the diminutive old lady doing things like holding a gun on a bad guy and making threats. But they go to the well a few times too often on that gag. It's really nothing special but worth a look if you're a Sly fan. He also says the title of the movie at one point, which made me laugh for some reason. It's worth noting the movie has tons of product placement, mostly for the kind of stuff they advertise during daytime game shows and soap operas.

adonis98-743-186503 Stop or my Mom will Shoot is by no means the funniest movie ever made or Stallone's best film ever but common he thinks that this is his worst movie? I think Stallone is a great actor and by no means i don't think he ever made a god-awful unwatchable film but he has made some not so awesome films like Bullet to the Head where his charisma is the only thing that shines. Sylvester Stallone & Estelle Getty have chemistry unlike what some people might tell you and the action is pretty well done and the humor is nice as well also the film has some lessons about life for example. There were a lot of problems on set like the producers lied to Getty that the film had no guns but it had or that Arnold Schwarzenegger faked his interest about the film and Stallone took the role and the film flopped. In the end Stop or my Mom will Shoot is no masterpiece but sure as hell it doesn't deserve the 4 out of 10 rating i mean did people seriously thought that the Fantastic Four reboot was better than this? really?
