Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 08/04/2023
The issue with Oscar is the adoption of Magnier's French humor, an ambiance that doesn't correspond well. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Despite all the running around, the movie still feels slow, dragging sluggishly toward the end of its long 109 minutes. Go to Full Review

When you're looking to remake French cinema, the name 'Stallone' leaps immediately to mind. As in, 'for God's sake, don't cast Sylvester Stallone!' Go to Full Review

Samuel J. @okapiwise Aug 3 The writing for this movie is so creative and it always makes me laugh everytime See more Claudio Eduardo T Jun 19 Muy buena y muy divertida un clásico del gran Joe Dante y Sylvester Stallone imperdible See more Nicholas A Jun 9 This is a great light hearted comedy. The full day of mishaps, the stereotypes of gangsters, snitches, accounts and so called legitimate businesses men make for a good laugh. This is one of my most watched Stallone films. See more Andrew G Jun 8 The film has an undeservedly poor reputation but it is actually quite funny with good performances from Stallone, Tomei, Palminteri, Muti and Curry. Worth a look for a fun light hearted comedy. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 8 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é sobre o stallone querer alguém para casar com sua filha no filme, que é horrível essa história, o elenco é bacaninha só que ninguém melhora o filme, nem o próprio stallone, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. See more Marybeth M Feb 19 I remember seeing this in the theater as a free preview. I think I was one of a handful of viewers who laughed all the way through this movie. I just watched it again tonight & laughed just as hard as I did the first time. This was just so unexpected from Sly Stallone, and the rest of the cast was outstanding. The direction was snappy & the score was spot on. Of course, anything w/ Peter Riegert, Chazz Palminteri, Marisa Tomei & Tim Curry is 'must watch.' The Finnucci Brothers are so freaking hilarious. I really believe that most moviegoers weren't really prepared to see gung-ho full-out action hero Stallone in such a vastly different roll, so the reception of the movie was really low. It is a damn shame b/c this gem of a movie is ridiculously underrated. Sure, there is some serious overacting as well as a healthy amount of slapstick & farce. The way the various threads of the story are woven is actually quite masterful. See more Read all reviews
