Oscar

Although I hate remakes with a passion, Oscar is an exception. It's because I dislike French cinema and Funès even more than that. The film is literally packed with great actors and matching performances. I was most surprised by Sly, who clearly shows that there is more to him than just a muscleman/boxer. I've seen the film several times now and it totally blows me away every time, not only with its excellent plot, but especially the performances. For me personally, this is a great comedy. What gets me the most is that Tim Curry is constantly smiling like Pennywise... (07/17/2016)

Snaps Provolone and his fun family are experiencing their first day of the legal way of life. The days of mafia money laundering and collusion in general are numbered. How simple. A fitting for the Finucci brothers' new suit at 9:30, a meeting with the bankers at noon, and the signing of a contract. Is it possible to imagine any complications at all? But where do you live? In 1931, anything is possible. Our dear Snaps becomes the father of a grown daughter for the second time, gives his wife the benefit of the doubt, resolves the pregnancy of his first daughter, and his accountant also comes into his own, as does our wonderful linguistic miracle. We don't say "jump," do we? Oscar is the perfect mafia crazy comedy in the best sense of the word. I'm dying to go to a Rudy Vallée concert. (01/25/2011)

It has its bright moments, Stallone enjoys his role and the viewer doesn't get bored, but unfortunately those 105 minutes don’t deliver anything that would be worth telling your friends over a beer. An average that doesn't offend and doesn't do Rocky any great shame. (07/31/2013)
