best thing about Throw Momma from the Train Is the title The movie never lives up to Its promise and all the funny bits are in the previews we ve been seeing in the last two months This Is a meandering plot with very uneven direction It was a great idea but somewhere along the road somebody screwed up The idea this movie appealed to me the first time I heard about it It Is a rewrite of the classic Hitchcock movie based on Josephine novel Strangers on a Tram This Is one of my favorite Hitchcock films The Idea that two strangers meet and exchange murders so that the murderer has no motive and the suspect has an alibi scene from the film committing the fatal error of drawing a comparison to a film classic and looking in credibly Inept In contrast Owen Lift is a desperate son who lives with his mother a woman who makes Godzilla look sweet tempered and charming Owen is taking a creative- writing class with Lorry a blocked writer whose only resource Is teaching Larry hates his ex wife Owen hates his mother Owen keeps writing murder stories that don work Larry tells him to watch Hit chcock to find out bow murder stories should work Owen goes off to see you guessed ft Strangers on a Train Thus a brilliant murder plot is born Except that Owen doesn tell Lairy when he is murdering his CAR CLUB Jan 14 winners Bill Kirk Gerald Williams 335 Dan Peggie Bob Bums Bruce

Criminal Code or Canada driving offences in RIDE checks and general patrols wife and Larry has no chance to set up an alibi It sounds good on paper but In this film the drags dreadfully Billy Crystals Larry Is a tedious bore and Owen Is a tad too sentimental to be a really great character The aim pie plot outline I have Just described takes up half of the movie This is just too long and too silly By the time the murdering starts the au dience Is ready to leave After the murdering starts the movie manages to meander even more How I asked myself how could It get worse What a waste of time and talent This is the kind of movie that seems to go on forever despite numerous false endings It Just goes on and on and on And the payoff Is not worth the wait I really t give a damn about Larry and his endless self pity and whin ing I m sure the film would have 1m proved considerably if Mrs Lift had more screen time and Larry had less Mrs Lift was a lot more fun Billy Crystal is Larry It hard to Judge his performance when his character was such a wimp and run ning in all directions at once Lets lust say 1 ve had my till of Crystal for the year Danny DeVito Is Owen the rotund maniac with murder on his mind DeVito Is funny and Owen is a much more Interesting character than Larry But the best thing about the movie Is Anne Ramsey Momma She is divinely hideous delightful ly nasty and astonishingly ugly She also has one of the greatest voices I have ever heard In films Her voice is full of venom and contempt No wonder Owen wants to murder his Momma So would any other child of this beast In mother clothing Danny directed this his first effort I believe He has a lot to leom about direction The script Is a jumbled mess and the movie falls apart after the first few minutes It Is unfortunate that so little has been made out of such promising material I should have Just watched Strangers on a Train again It would be a lot more satisfying But I would have missed Momma Family
