Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Kathleen Maher Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 May 4, 2004 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: D+ Apr 26, 1991 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) The issue with Oscar is the adoption of Magnier's French humor, an ambiance that doesn't correspond well. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Despite all the running around, the movie still feels slow, dragging sluggishly toward the end of its long 109 minutes.

Nicholas K I think this was one of stallones best and funniest movies of all time, this is a movie I have watched to the point in which I know every line word for word from beginning to end, that's how much I love this movie because no matter how many times I watch it I always laugh till my ribs hurt. In my opinion this is the best movie ever and I have seen hundreds of films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Ted B I've never understood the derision that this movie is given, I've always stepped away from it smiling and find it delightful. I don’t expect high art just entertainment, and this succeeds. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Ragu S I don't know what's wrong with the critics, this is one of the funniest movies and my whole family enjoys this movie and we frequently quote dialogs from this movie. We re-watch it every couple of years. No slap stick, all comedy only based in dialog. Kirk Douglas in one scene but makes a very memorable performance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Naveen L To me, Stallone did a magnificent job portraying Snaps Provolone. The cast is stellar, and the audience is bounced from gag to gag at a decent pace. I understand that most top critics were not impressed, but at the time I’m posting this review, I can see only 18 critics have reviewed it. So, not enough critics have seen this film, which has resulted in an overall low score. The director, the cast, and the writers have put in amazing work to make this masterpiece. Give it a shot, will ya? And decide for yourself. I loved it. It’ll always remain one of my favorites, and I’ll keep coming back to it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Janet S I don’t know what’s wrong with people; this movie is hilarious. The first 10 minutes are pretty bad, with echoes of the Three Stooges at their worst, but it soon picks up. It’s a great comedy of errors, a screwball comedy in tune with the era in which it is set. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Susan W I loved it! A well executed screwball comedy. Too many critics got stuck on Sylvester Stallone persona in type casting in out of type role. Comic timing of entire cast was perfect. A movie whose plot has to be closely followed to appreciate and better the second time around. Very underrated but watch with no preconceived attitude and you will not be sorry. Think Abbot and Costello 'Who's on First' but in movie length. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
