Oscar (1991) First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!!

[@TBRSchmitt]

An underrated comedy! At the end of the day, Oscar made us laugh for a few hours and sometimes that's all you need/want! What are some other movies you think deserve a chance?! Thank you all for the support!

[@bigj5880]

Movies that I don't see many reactions for are "blast from the past" - Brendan Fraser, "bedazzled" - Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth hurley and "Beverly hills ninja" hilarious movie starring Chris Farley, I'll suggest these on Patreon as well, I know y'all have a long list of movies to get through first but these would be a real treat for y'all to react to 😁🙏😁🙏

[@glenkamerling5333]

You should do a public movie list of movies you haven’t seen, ones you both have seen and ones that only one of you have seen so it’s easier to know what movies to recommend and what ones to not recommend.

[@rxtsec1]

Get Carter with Stallone

[@motafett]

Bubble boy, Gridlock'd, Nothing but trouble, Tank girl, Bedazzled, Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, all the Kevin Smith movies.

[@jasonsabbath6996]

Noises Off. It's a movie about a stage play that goes wrong. It's very much like Oscar and stars Carol Burnett, John Ritter, Christopher Reeves, and Michael Caine. Very funny and absolutely crazy!

[@waterbeauty85]

I remember Stallone was on a talk show promoting "Oscar," and he explained that, while he was in Europe, he discovered farce, which is a style of comedy you don't see that often in American cinema. He loved it and wanted to try that style of movie He knew it was a risk because it was different from the standard American comedy tastes and because audiences might not accept him in a non-action hero role, but he was willing to take that chance and was very excited to try something different. A lot of people have pointed out that Stallone's intelligence is often under appreciated, and his creativity is also under appreciated.

[@redfrenchmoon2405]

Yes, great farce with the great Louis de Funes.

[@CrayCruz]

I agree, Stallone is often dismissed as being a "palooka," a stiff when it comes to acting. What I liked about him was he was willing to put himself out there and trust his audience. I thinking of "Copland" and this movie in particular.

[@smooticus]

Farce was a staple of comedies in the 30's and early 40's. They just sort of fell out of fashion with American audiences. We still get them from time to time. Clue, is a good example

[@TheMule71]

This style of comedy has roots in ancient Greek theater, but developed a lot more in ancient Rome. Skipping almost 2000 years, in cinema again in Italy we find "Commedia all'italiana", which is probably what Stallone was exposed to, which was extremely popular in the 60's. The key point is that the plot keeps moving forward by means of misunderstandings, which often combine one upon another, which leads to extremely absurd situations. In its pure form, it has little or no slapstick comedy, but the two genres can merge very well of course. It's not super common in Hollywood, where often emphasis is more on the slapstick side. You can find jokes based on taking something literally ("This woman has to be gotten to a hospital" - " Hospital? What is it?" - "It's big building with patients"), but in "Commedia all'italiana" misunderstandings drive the plot and sometimes last for the whole movie, until everything is resolved in the grand final. A good example of a mix is the Pink Panther franchise, whose first movie was definitely inspired by the Commedia all'Italiana, and later movies, with Sellers in the lead, leaned more on the slapstick side.

You guys reacted to Oscar?! Epic! I dont think this movie gets enough appreciation. I still have my original DVD. I've loved this movie since it was released in theaters.

[@CrayCruz]

Finally, I get to see "Oscar" get some love. When this was released in 1991 it did not get love from the critics or moviegoers...partially because people couldn't accept Stallone in a pure comedy - farce or screwball comedy, a la the style of the 30s and 40s. Even the ending, as you guys rightly pointed out, gets a chuckle because the titled drop comes at the very end of the movie. Comic genius. He is disposed of "expeditiously." I love this movie and can quote it almost word for word. Everyone is hilarious, but my favorites are Connie and Aldo. I especially loved the dialogue and I think that's where a lot of people were turned off. The script was true to the time/era of the day where "speak-easys" and "bathtub gin" was the order of the day. Sort of the comedy version of "The Sting." One of my favorite lines is when Connie and "Snaps" are going over the events of the day, and Connie asks to stay in the room because every time he leaves "I fall behind." In fact, I love your reaction so much that I'm going to watch the full length patreon reaction. You guys are awesome! Two comedies that I would love to see your reaction: "Victor/Victoria" (1982) and "Some Like It Hot!" (1959) with a special mention of "Someone Like You" (2001) with Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd. the first two are considered American Screwball comedy and "Someone Like You" is considered your run-of-the-mill rom/com (but it's actually quite good).

[@dacsus]

It's a copy paste from Louis de Funes movie (Oscar 1967), but yea, still very good comedy. But original is better, and that's why critics didn't liked it.

[@bdog1323]

Loved the fact that Chazz Palminteri was given huge advice by Stallone to do like what he did and REFUSE to sell the rights to his 1 man play called "A Bronx Tale", and hold onto it until they agree to let him star in it and have DeNiro direct it who also agreed with that advice. Then a star was born!!!

[@paintwhisperer]

a bronx tale should definitely be something they should watch, i enjoyed that movie a lot

[@scratchpapergames9351]

[@MichaelPlatson]

Marisa Tomei was 26 when she filmed this and next year she would go on to actually win the "Oscar" for My Cousin Vinny

[@gluuuuue]

Oh yeah, Mr. Vendetti's manicurist at the beginning is Arleen Sorkin. If her voice sounds vaguely familiar, it's because she's most famous for doing the voice of Harley Quinn in Batman: The Animated Series and most of the DCAU. And Anthony's pay of $400/mo in 1931 dollars would be $7,800/mo today, or $93k/yr. $1400/mo would be $27k/mo or $327k/yr. $50,000 in 1931 dollars would be close to a million ($974k) today.

[@superby1]

I got to watch this on my commute to work and I gotta say, you two did a stellar job. Like I said before, this one was gonna be emotional for me but if my Mom were still with us and got to see this, she would’ve absolutely LOVED your reactions. This was one of her favorite movies and I can still see her smiling when Stallone screams “Fannuchi’s” and “The one that’s not Lisa” She’d say that all the time. You both did a great job and this honestly made my day. Thank you so much!

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

I've always loved this movie. So many funny moments with a terrific cast. The comedic timing, the editing, the classical music score, all of it works to create basically 1930's comedy. And yes, John Landis directed Clue, Animal House, The Blues Brothers, the great Trading Places, An American Werewolf In London, and this.

Reacting to "Oscar" is a great surprise! Thanks Sam and TBR for picking this one. It's a lot of fun, the movie and the reaction. Fun fact: Marisa Tomei was 26 when this came out. The same age Tom Holland (Spider-Man) is now.

[@gishgali8354]

The rapid fire dialogue and mistaken identities are tropes of the screwball comedy, a genre popular in the thirties and forties. It was a big risk to try this in 1991 and the movie did bomb, but I loved it.

[@declaneric]

The rapid-fire pace is what makes the entire film. It's an English-language remake of a French film from the 1960s, based on a stage play from 1958 or 59. Stallone's comic timing is SO underrated.

[@bdog1323]

The "E" that you hate in the credits is an old font used during the art deco era in the very late 20's and well into the 30's. Can ALWAYS tell when something is from the 30's by that font and architecture. One huge reason I always enjoyed the Empire State Building. Huge art deco involved with that skyscraper.

[@GeneralZodFDNY77]

I'm a total Art Deco fan, too. The Empire State Building is my favorite building of all time in the world.

[@LA_HA]

Gotta say, the 20s and 30s Had to have been quite a time to be alive. Aside from any social and economic issues, the mixture of science and art is incredible. Architecture, automobiles, clothing and jewelry, music and dance, the speakeasies, the movies in those glorious movie palaces, the art, the sexual revolution and freedom of women, the high interest in The Future, and even the crazy exploration of creativity and spirituality. They weren't The Roaring 20s for nothing. Everything from this period really is beautiful. It reminds me of the American version of the Japanese "dream world," ukiyoe; even though Art Deco is based on Egyptian art -- which was a huge influence due to the discovery of King Tut's tomb. I don't think Our Country has had that level of greatness except right after WWII, and even then, it's hard to compete with those aesthetics. I mean Googie design and architecture that took over Los Angeles for a second is awesome, but Art Deco is perfection

[@randyatkinson4499]

It has been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it. One of the main reason that it has so mixed reviews is because it is so different from his normal movies of the time. Another example of a star stepping out of his normal roles like this is Clint Eastwood in the movie Kelly's Heroes.

[@kreddykall6000]

it has mixed reviews because it's just a remake

[@LordVolkov]

"This movie is chaotic!" Oscar is a fantastic comedy of errors with an incredible cast moving at a breakneck pace and some hilarious wordplay. I love how much you two enjoyed the Fannuccis and Dr Pool! I especially enjoy Chazz Palminteri - the weapons unloading, the chicken leg, the oxymoron jokes, his constant confusion until he finally gets the plot figured out and then stays caught up 🤣🤣🤣 He's too funny.

[@LA_HA]

Chazz is so great in this, a comedy, and drama, like A Bronx Tale. They should definitely watch A Bronx Tale with Robert de Niro

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

Oooh you watched it!!!! I loved this as a kid! My favorite moment is when Mr. Pool pretends the underwear is actual money to appease Snaps. 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@Nicolas.Vincent]

Legend is my personal fave Tim Curry flick. He plays a character called Darkness! Really intense role! Ridley Scott Directed in '85, Starring Tom Cruise who's next role was in Top Gun.

[@jrobertlysaght]

And Mia Sara from Ferris Bueller is in that movie too.

[@WoncoTheSane]

[@Billinois78]

Nice try on the snaps at the end. haha Maybe I should put my name in quotes. 🤔 Another Tim Curry role, you mentioned saving IT for Halloween time. Another one I remember watching a lot in the 80s/90s was a fantasy movie called "Legend" (1985), directed by Ridley Scott (Alien/Blade Runner/Gladiator), and starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara (Ferris Bueller's girlfriend) and Tim Curry in some amazing makeup. The makeup and scene designs are what make this movie. Nobody will say it's Scott's best, but it's worth watching for visuals alone.

@Elizabitty213 - also, just a note, it is an usual Hollywood remake of the much older, French movie from 1967. Not that there is anything wrong with that approach. Personally I've seen it long time ago too (the one with Stallone), and did enjoy it too :)

Tim Curry has an incredible performance as Darkness in Legend (1985). I think Legend is one of Tom Cruise's first movie rolls. Also Mia Sara (Ferris Bueller's girlfriend) is in it.

This is such a great farce. When it came out, me and my friend cut school to see it and it was waaaaay better than geometry.

Oh man this is awesome! Freaking love this movie ever since I first watched it as a kid. Totally underrated comedy and one of Stallone's best.

I LOVE this movie and I’m so excited to see you watch it! Edit: I had such a huge smile on my face watching you watch this. I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!

[@zeroknight4517]

One of the best Stallone movies/comedies, so glad you picked it up! Another one I like (even though it tas low ratings) is Stop! or my mom will shoot! Very funny with a great mum. Oscar is in fact an american version of a stage play, there is a very famous original french movie "Oscar" from 1967, starring Louis de Funes, whom you probably not familiar with, but he was one of the greatest french comedians and the french version is also absolutely hilarious. Don't know if the french movies are dubbed in english, but Funes' movies are absolutely classic in Europe and very funny, especially the Gendarme (1964) and my personal all time favourite "Delusions of Grandeur" (1971). Even you might not react to those, maybe check them out, really, really funny with the 60/70s flair.

À mon avis, la version française d'"Oscar" avec Louis de Funès est beaucoup plus drôle que la version avec Stallone.

[@PaperbackWizard]

I watched "Oscar" on TV when I was a kid, and I loved it. I can't imagine anyone *not* loving it. It's a classic comedy of errors, based on a play, if I'm not mistaken.

Tim Curry was also in Hunt for Red October, which you already have done!

[@Wishbone1977]

This movie is criminally underrated. It's one of my favorite movies and definitely one of my favorite Tim Curry performances.

[@Kthomasritchie]

Why is it considered underrated? It's hugely unpopular for a very good reason. It flopped at the box office as most people consider it terrible.

[@kreddykall6000]

how is it underrated when it's just a remake

[@Wishbone1977]

@@kreddykall6000 John Carpenter's The Thing is "just a remake". What does it being a remake have to do with anything?

[@Wishbone1977]

@@Kthomasritchie I love that you just _know_ what most people from all over the world think of this movie. Look at the comments here. Obviously quite a lot of people like it very much.

[@Kthomasritchie]

@@Wishbone1977 Suggest you re-read my comment. It was a box office flop. Its budget was $35 million and returned $23 million at the box office. The box office is the only scientific way to measure the popularity of a film.

I'm glad ya'll liked the movie. It made me laugh so much as a teenager 🤣 .Great review

[@popgoestheculture6285]
