“Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot” (1992)

This is a movie where the title obviously came first, and they tried to make a movie around it. Sylvester Stallone looks so embarrassed throughout, and in some cases, he actually looks genuinely suicidal. I guess he was simply relaying the pain of the audience. I’ve never been a fan of the embarrassing parent shtick, especially when the child is an adult, but this is seriously some of the worst instances of this trope imaginable, given it requires his mother, played by Estelle Getty, to be so unbelievably stupid, that she somehow doesn’t know that buying a gun off of the streets is highly illegal. This was a painful and horrific experience that I hope to never have to relive.

Rating: 0.5/5
