Despite his status as a major action star, Sylvester Stallone has made a number of attempts to remodel himself as a comic actor; one of his more infamous efforts in this direction was Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot!. Police detective Joe Bromowski (Sylvester Stallone) has just broken off his relationship with his girlfriend (and fellow police officer) Gwen Harper (JoBeth Williams), so Joe's mother Tutti (Estelle Getty) decides it's time to pay him a visit. Tutti proceeds to make Joe's life miserable by nagging him about his clothes, cleaning his apartment, washing his gun, tagging along on investigations, and somehow getting involved with a gun-running organization that the police have been trying to infiltrate. After this film, Stallone would stay away from comedy until 1997, when he played a cameo in another unenthusiastically received film, An Alan Smithee Film -- Burn, Hollywood, Burn. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I love this movie. It's an older movie, but it's funny and I could watch it over and over again.

    This movie is rated PG-13 not PG. It has bad language and people dying by machine gun fire. If you can get over that, it is a cute movie. Golden Girl fans might get a kick out of the small frail elderly gun-toting mother played by Estelle Getty. And Stallone fans can't miss the dream scene with him in diapers and his domineering mother trying to change him. The acting isn't great but it's not terrible either. The pace stutters now and then but overall the movie is entertaining. This film is a comedy with intentionally silly moments. It is a grade above "B" movie status. It is what it is. I don't understand the animosity critics have towards it. There are much worse movies out there with better reviews. My teenage sons (16&19) and I (51) have enjoyed it now for the second time. Note: This DVD is only available via rental as it is out-of-print as of this time 070210.

    This is light hearted and funny with a look at the sweet side of mother and son. We enjoyed watching it.
