Synopsis

Oscar (1991) is John Landis' screwball gangster comedy you can watch online on iFILM. At his father's deathbed, mob boss Angelo "Snaps" Provolone swears off crime to become a legitimate businessman. Going straight, it turns out, is the hardest job he has ever pulled.

The whole thing unfolds across one chaotic morning in Snaps' mansion. His daughter announces she's marrying the wrong man, his accountant demands a raise and her hand at the same time, and three identical black satchels — one cash, one jewels, one laundry — keep getting swapped until nobody can keep track. Sylvester Stallone plays against type and clearly has a blast, surrounded by Marisa Tomei, Tim Curry as a fussy diction coach, and Chazz Palminteri. Landis stages it like a stage farce, all slamming doors and split-second timing. If you'd rather watch Stallone trip over fast dialogue than throw punches, this is the one.
