- Synopsis:
Get ready for a runaway comedy that's right on track! Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal are hilarious and Anne Ramsey is hysterically frightful in this wickedly screwball laugh riot that won a Golden Globe nomination for DeVito and an Oscar nomination for Ramsey. With Rob Reiner and Oprah Winfrey on board for cameos, this fast-track comedy will certainly make you laugh! Writing teacher Larry Donner (Crystal) and his student Owen Lift (DeVito) have a lot in common: the women in their lives are driving them mad! Larry's ex-wife Margaret (Kate Mulgrew) stole his novel and made it her own bestseller, and Owen's mother (Ramsey) is a monster! But Owen has a plan to kill both problems... literally! He'll murder Margaret while Larry sends Momma to her maker! But when Owen fulfils his end of the deal before telling his teacher, Larry's left with no alibi...and an outrageous obligation to knock off the nastiest old lady he's ever met! - Actors:
