Oscar

Who would have thought a comedy with Sylvester Stallone would be funny?

Broad farce 1991 Jon Landis comedy stars Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Peter Riegert, Tim Curry, Chazz Palminteri.

30s gangster Snaps Provolone (Stallone) promises his dying father he will give up his life of crime and go straight. It doesn't work out so well. Mistaken identities, crooked bankers, a crafty future son-in-law, and more complications all conspire to keep Da Boss in Da Biz. Much to our delight.

Very funny, surprisingly so. Hey, is Peter Riegert doing a Bugs Bunny impersonation?

Great cast (Tomei, Curry et al) make this fun. Enjoy.
