Worthless remake of the fantastic Louis de Funes movie!

Stallone can't play comedy at all (or should you count Rambo? )!

This is very bad though:

0.5 star!

OK,

I personally think this Oscar movie is slightly better than De Funes Oscar

I also find this one a bit funnier, even though it's practically the same story.

Sylvester Stallone shows in this that he can also make comedy instead of action.

It's one of my favorite movies in my top 10.

Good film about a gangster who promises his dying father to go straight. Simply a wonderful farce that takes place in one day in the house of the rich gangster in the early 1930s. Nice developments that continue to follow each other. Also some funny dialogues and the cast entertains in a bold way (Sylvester Stallone also gets away with it).
