Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot is a 1992 American action comedy film. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, the movie follows the story of Joe Bomowski (Sylvester Stallone), a tough and courageous officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, who has a complicated relationship with his overprotective mother, Tutti Bomowski (Estelle Getty). When Tutti decides to visit her son unexpectedly, she interferes with his personal and professional life, driving him crazy with her bossy and intrusive behavior. Tutti is determined to fix Joe's messy living situation by cleaning his apartment, cooking for him, and even buying him new clothes. She also has a knack for getting into trouble and making things worse for him.

Joe's life takes an unexpected turn when his mother witnesses a murder and becomes a witness in a high-profile case. With her life in danger, Joe must overcome his frustrations with his mother and protect her at all costs. Tutti, on the other hand, is thrilled to be involved in her son's career, and her amateur detective work comes in handy when it comes to solving the case.

As they work together to bring the murderers to justice, the mother and son bond in a way they never have before. Joe realizes that he needs Tutti in his life and is grateful for her constant support, even when it's overwhelming.

Both Sylvester Stallone and Estelle Getty deliver strong performances, creating a believable and lovable mother-son dynamic that drives the story forward.

JoBeth Williams also delivers a great performance as Joe's ex-girlfriend, Lt. Gwen Harper, who is dealing with her own issues but ultimately helps Joe in his quest to solve the case and protect his mother. Their chemistry is palpable, and the movie does a great job of balancing their rocky relationship against the more humorous and sentimental scenes with Tutti.

The film's pacing is excellent, with plenty of action scenes interspersed throughout the comedy. The plot is well-developed and keeps the audience engaged, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end.
