...boasts a fairly amiable vibe that’s perpetuated by the smattering of entertaining set-pieces and the actors’ strong efforts...

A refreshing reminder that sometimes movies can be everything they need to be by offering nothing more than a hairbrained setup or a particularly delicious cast pairing, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot delivers exactly what it promises, and delightfully so.

Stallone may be too dippy and Getty's character over-exaggerated and only marginally charming, but the chemistry between the leads is generally agreeable.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 24, 2020

I laughed occasionally, but in pain.

Stallone has developed into an accomplished comedy actor, knowing to react to situations rather than cause them. Getty has the role of her lifetime, spouting one-liners with fine precision.

The doting-mother jokes are all familiar, but rendered with an earnest quality, as though a parent-offspring mediation group is to convene after the film ends.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 3, 2009

Gag. Stallone's character should have been shot by overbearing Getty Mom.

Most of the blame for this unimaginative effort can be attributed to the script, but Spottiswoode's flat direction doesn't help.

Stallone & Getty? No magic here.

This mom is impossible without being funny.

Further proof that Sly should stick to action.

Being shot might be preferable to sitting through this
