Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
A tough police sergeant's mother comes to visit him, and promptly starts trying to fix up his life, much to his embarrassment. For his birthday she buys him a machine gun out of the back of a van, and begins to further interfere with his job and love life, eventually helping him with a case he's on.
Critics Sentiment
Tutti helps talk suicidal man off ledge with Joe
Joe and Tutti attacked by henchmen with wrecking ball
The film drops significantly from the praised suicidal man rescue sequence to the widely criticized car chase and wrecking ball action sequences
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot maintains consistently mediocre reception throughout its runtime, with most reviewers acknowledging some genuine laughs from the Stallone-Getty chemistry while criticizing the film's tonal confusion and failed blend of family comedy with action elements. The film peaks early with a few well-received comedic moments before declining into increasingly absurd and poorly executed action sequences that reviewers found unfunny and tonally jarring.
