Profile of Oscar

Oscar can be described as clever, humorous, and witty. The plot revolves around mistaken identities, cons and scams, and a "fish out of water". Its comic aspect comes from farce. Oscar's main genres are comedy, crime, and romance. In terms of style, it is talky. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Oscar takes place in the 1990s. It is a remake and adapted from a play. It is well suited for a date night.

Summary of Oscar

Sylvester Stallone stars as famed mobster Angelo "Snaps" Provolone, who promises his dying father (Kirk Douglas) that he will hang up his tommy gun and lead a kinder, gentler life. However, on the day Snaps is to start his legitimate career in banking, he gets derailed by a spate of family emergencies. It all begins when Snaps's accountant suddenly declares his intention to wed the ex-gangster's daughter (Marisa Tomei)--but he's not the only prospective husband banging at Snaps's door. Then, just to complicate matters, his daughter announces she's pregnant. Later, a young stranger arrives, claiming to be Snaps's daughter--which is news to him. And that's just the beginning of the confusion in this madcap farce from esteemed comedy director John Landis.
