Format:DVD
When the term 'comedy' is attached to modern films the first thought that often springs to mind is one of rude innuendoes and clichéd movie sketches. Not that this is necessarily always bad, however, but if you are the type of person who enjoys a sophisticated comedy filled with the intricacies of personal relationships, then this film is a must-see.
When Owen (Danny De Veto) and his teacher, Larry, (Billy Crystal) get their wires crossed it leads to disastrous consequences. Owen mistakenly thinks that once he has killed Larry's ex-wife then Larry will kill his mother. Of course, Larry didn't agree to this. After pushing, pestering and persistence does Larry succumb to Owen's pleading? Or is it after meeting Mrs Lift (Anne Ramsey) that perhaps Larry would enjoy to kill such a woman?
The film is filled with suspense, tension and laughter from beginning to end. This truly is comedy at its highest level!

To be short, this is a most worthwhile sit-com. It is very funny in parts, and has a few moments which are truly moving, such as De Veto showing off his coin collection. I do not possess hundreds of movies, but this is one which I keep where I can get my hands on it. The plot is, amazingly, one which I have never encountered before, and is actually engaging in its twists and turns. If you enjoy the sit-com type of commedy, this is a real treat. I doubt you will be disappointed in storey or performances.

Clever, but sometime slapstick black comedy
This is by no doubt a superb film... it has all the right qualities, such as a hero (Crystal), the under-dog (De Vito) and the two "bad guys", Larry's wife, and Owen's... Read more
