Summary: Owen is a would-be mystery writer who has taken all he can take of Momma. She's driving him mad and somehow she must be eliminated. Larry, Owen's writing teacher hates his ex-wife for stealing his book and becoming a bestselling author. Both men are extremely miserable, but there may be a solution.da

Owen (Danny DeVito) is a friendless would-be mystery writer who has had all he can take. He would do anything to get rid of his overbearing mother (Anne Ramsey), whose howling voice and domineering attitude have pushed him to the absolute limit. He even strikes a deal with his writing teacher, Larry (Billy Crystal), to knock off Larry's much-hated ex-wife (Kate Mulgrew), on the condition that the instructor will reciprocate and get rid of Owen's mom. Ramsey is so terrific in her role that the audience eventually roots for her to be killed. DeVito directed this very dark, very funny comedy, which owes a big debt to the Alfred Hitchcock thriller STRANGERS ON A TRAIN.
