Screen greats Danny DeVito (Ruthless People) and Billy Crystal (City Slickers) are homicidally hilarious, and Anne Ramsey (The Goonies) is hysterically frightful in an Oscar-nominated performance (Best Supporting Actress, 1987), in this wickedly screwball comedy directed by DeVito (The War of the Roses)! Long-suffering momma’s boy Owen (DeVito) has a mother (Ramsey) who’s a cross between Quasimodo and the Wicked Witch of the West. Owen’s friend Larry (Crystal) has female problems of his own: an ex-wife who stole his novel and made it a bestseller. Can these hapless males help “eliminate” each other’s problems? Get ready for some of the funniest foul play on film when DeVito, Crystal and Ramsey put this laugh-a-minute comedy on track!

Reviews

Kino Lorber's combo pack presents a great new 4K restoration on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray, together with a nice new program featuring cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld and good new audio commentary by critic Joe Ramoni. - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Mr. Crystal and Mr. DeVito ... make one of the oddest pairs imaginable but have a rapport that's a delight.

Very clever and engaging from beginning to end, pic builds on the notion that nearly everyone - at least once in life - has the desire to snuff out a relative or nemesis, even if 99.9% of us let the urge pass without ever acting on it.
