Plot: 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, All Movie Guide

Sylvester Stallone had an alternate title for this sitcom drivel masquerading as a feature film: "Dial M for Mother." That alone is funnier than anything that happens in this truly embarrassing action-comedy. Everyone has seen better days, especially Roger Spottiswoode (who directed the 1983 political drama "Under Fire"). In recent interviews, Stallone ranked "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" as his all-time worst movie. The competition must have been intense.

Estelle Getty is the only advantage
Added 5/4/2009

Seriously, Estelle Getty is the only one that brings comic relief throughout the movie. Plus, she knows how to act like a mother no one would ever stand. That's pretty much it. Getty's character is the only thing worth watching in this seemingly unwatchable comedy. Stallone fails to be funny here, and the jokes aren't really worth it. The action scenes aren't even that impressive, either, which makes me wonder if the cast and crew even cared. The plot did have many possibilities, but the end result brought the whole thing down to the bottomless pit. Aside from Getty, this movie doesn't do much to entertain. I'd say skip it and watch a better comedy.

SLOW DELIVERY!

I did not receive my dvd within the given time frame, which makes Amazon seems less reliable to me. Even though I did receive the product I wanted, I will never order from this seller again.

Average Funny Movie that many sons will identify with
Added 6/24/2007

I remember seeing this film in the theaters with my mother. This is a pretty corney movie about an LA police officer who's mother comes to visit and get's caught up in a large police investigation. She is Overbearing, Intrusive, but has a big heart and has her son's best interest in mind. As for a production, not really good, Stallone's performance is flat, Getty does a decent job, but overall worth a viewing.
