Funny slap stick comedy!

"Watch it, Connie. You have a dangling participle!"
Oscar is the story of mob boss Angelo "Snaps" Provolone attempting to lead the honest life after granting one last request to his dying father. But can he do it?
Snaps is not having a great day. Neither the rival gang nor the police believe that he's going straight, bankers want his money, his daughter wants to run away, his accountant reveals that he's been stealing from him because he's in love with his "daughter", the maid runs off to marry the man he had hoped to have for a son-in-law, and that's just for starters!
There are twists and turns that keep you hopping and Sly Stallone, Chazz Palminteri and Marisa Tomei (as Stallone's sexy femme fatale daughter Lisa) give great comedic performances and Tim Curry is hysterical as prissy elocution teacher Dr. Thornton Poole.
