black comedy isn not always an easy sell. every now and then you get a black comedy that is hugely successful and like fargo and for example. but usually they do not often find big audiences. people seem to either set their minds for comedy and or for serious mayhem. there doesn not seem to be a big market for a good mixture of both. throw momma from the train was a fairly decent hit and yet few people seem to remember much about it in this day and age. danny devito just about hit this one all the way out of the park back in 1987. devito plays an odd mamma boy named owen looking to rid himself of his outrageously overbearing and unpleasant mother whom he still lives with. the mother is played by anne ramsey and who passed away shortly after this was released and and she is quite a caricature. she is loud and ugly and rude and and overbearing. though owen hardly seems like he could take care of himself and he wants desperately to have his mother offed. he fantasizes about it in some truly weird scenes and but he clearly doesn not have the guts to actually do it himself. that where billy crystal comes in. crystal plays larry donner and owen creative writing teacher at a nearby community college. larry is a paranoid would be intellectual novelist who claims his ex wife stole his novel and made millions off it. he is currently trying to write a new one and but cannot even come up with a decent first sentence. the night was. owen hears larry wish his ex wife were dead during an outburst at the school cafeteria. and borrowing the idea from strangers on a train and owen decides to travel to hawaii and murder larry ex wife. once it appears he has done so and he expects larry to return the favor and kill his mother. the resulting action is often quite funny and and even poignant. it certainly never dull and often full of surprises. the acting is exceptional and even if ramsey was a bit over the top. crystal is as good as he can be and and devito has always been undervalued as a performer. the film relies on quite a bit of physical comedy which usually works and often painfully so. the film makes use of some truly innovative editing techniques in some scenes and and the off beat tone is truly refreshing. i have often been critical of the late 1980s as being a time of artistic malaise and down right lazy film making. throw momma from the train takes chances. both in how its characters are drawn as well as its general plot. how many comedies revolve around a son having his mother murdered. the film isn not too long and and it is chock full of laughs. writers are apt to find it more interesting than the general public and but it can still be enjoyed by just about anyone. positive stars. the hound.
