Stallone has made a few turds in his career - Grudge Match, Rhinestone, Judge Dredd and Rocky V being examples, however they are nowhere near as bad as this. Truly one of the most unfunny comedies ever.The premise is that Stallone's tough-cop character is visited by his nosy, interfering mother (Estelle Getty) after he breaks up with his partner. From here, it basically consists of a string of sequences where she does bad-ass things with weapons and the like alongside him.The main problem I had with this film is that it simply isn't funny. The gags and punchlines that are meant to make us laugh completely fail, and then proceed to repeat themselves throughout the film. Stallone and Getty weren't funny at all in the film, and I don't know how the filmmakers thought they were going to get people to laugh here.Want to get someone to confess to anything?

Sylvester Stallone is an iconic action star and Estelle Getty was a hilarious, sarcastic and witty Golden Girl. Put the two together and you'll get yourself one charming action-comedy, where tough Los Angeles cop Sgt. Joe Bomowski (Stallone) gets a visit from his nurturing, feisty and fearless mother Tutti (Getty), who beings to meddle in Joe's life affairs, interfering with his police work and love life.There are some very oddball and corny humor with some campy dialog in the movie, at mostly the expense of Stallone and Getty. The supporting actors were given the back burner and the villains were unforgettable. And yet, while the plot goes at a very steady-pace with limited action, I've found the comedic chemistry between Stallone and Getty, which make up most of the movie, to be pretty entertaining and fun to watch and is, at times, heartwarming. Getty's obsessive behavior to be very baby-nurturing to Stallone as he responds in his frustrated way is itself classic. And, it's not everyday you see a petite, motherly, 68 year-old lady brandish a gun and deal with gangsters! While not an action flick that would blow you out of your seats, you will get several laughs out of this movie.Grade B-

Sgt. Joe Bomowski (Sylvester Stallone) is a tough cop, but when his mother (Estelle Getty) comes to visit, he becomes nothing more than her little kid.I hate to pick on an old woman, but she's horribly annoying. She is over-bearing yet lovable, clueless yet all-knowing. She's a cartoon character stereotype, and I think they want us to laugh at her. I couldn't possibly laugh at an old lady, and I didn't find any of it funny anyways. I have pity for Sylvester Stallone. He can't do much here other than roll his eyes and keep saying "Mom! Mom!" This is absolutely annoying. It isn't funny. And it probably has one of the stupidest title ever.

Somehow I've missed this one over the years; didn't even know about it I guess, but watched it just now on NetFlix & glad I saw it. It was a lot of fun. The chemistry between Stallone & Getty was great & I love some of the one liners...many of which are not played up but there as little treats. Two supporting actors have played in Jurrasic Park (1 & 2). Stallone is said to have hated this little gem but I'm sorry he feels that way; after 'Cobra', the Rockies & John Rambo flicks, it was a treat to see him do comedy, of which he did very well.*** SPOILERS *** When Getty (as the mother) trains a gun on a bad guy she says "I'll be back" to which Stallone rolls his eyes and says "Mom, don't say 'I'll be Back'; cops don't say I'll be back', Terminators say that." There's a lot of that sort of fun in the movie.Cheesy? sure; fun? Yes, a lot.
