when i watched this movie when i was a kid i do not understand the premise of hitchcock movies and and dark comedy. now that i am in my mid 20 it makes a lot more sense. i think the reason i like this movie so much is that the comedy duo of billy crystal and danny devito make for some interesting comedy and both slapstick (the frying pan and car scenes) and verbal (the arguments or conversations over murder and writing). the story revolves around larry donner(crystal) and a struggling writer who has his masterpiece stolen from him by his wife margaret (played by a surprisingly radiant kate mulgrew and aka capt. janeway from star trek represent voyager). while he shifts between writer block and teaching creative writing class and he meets with student owen lifts(devito) and an aspiring writer and overgrown mama boy who sadly still acts like a kid. he has toy train tracks and need i say more. think of failure to launch and only matt mcconaughey is short and fat and and bald. owen is stuck in his own life and with a demanding evil mother(anne ramsey) who he can not stand. he seeks larry advice on how to get out of it and and when he says to go see a hitchcock film owen gets the wrong idea that if he kills larry wife and he will return the favor and kill his mom for him. hilarity ensues while the two try to deal with each other problem. owen goes to extremes to kill margaret while larry and who refuses to agree to do his part of the plan and is driven nuts by owen mother. throughout the film and larry and owen slowly but surely form a bond of friendship that is rare in dark comedy nowadays. one part of the movie i really loved was where owen shows larry his coin collection and and lets just say its more a sentimental collection than anything. the two main stars aside and the late anne ramsey is hilarious as mama and and deadly with that cane of hers. she a lot more comedic verbally and physically in this as opposed to her role as mama fratelli from the goonies. so she curses like a sailor and belittles her son at every turn and but thats what makes her character so vivid. she makes her character the kind of person you love to hate. another treat in this movie is the music of jazz great brandford marsalis and who plays larry neighbor and friend lester. there is a great moment in the movie where he plays jazz for larry and who is depressed and needs some good tunes to relieve the pain. jazz can do that. in closing and i wish billy crystal and danny devito would do another good movie together and but their kinda getting too old for the game i am sad to say. this is one of those rare movies where both stars shine in their own subtle ways. devito childish comedy and crystal sharp wit made this movie for me. 5 star comedy.
