Description
Get ready for a runaway comedy that's right on track! "Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal are hilarious[and] Anne Ramsey is hysterically frightful" (The Hollywood Reporter) in this "wickedly screwball" (Playboy) laugh riot that won a Golden GlobeÂ(r) nomination* for DeVito and anOscarÂ(r) nomination** for Ramsey. With Rob Reiner and Oprah Winfrey on board for cameos, this fast-track comedy "will certainly make you laugh" (Newsweek)! 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 fulfills 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! *1987: Actor **1987: Supporting Actress

The night was . . ........2006-02-22
I gotta tell ya, everything that happens in this movie that is associated with writer's block is absolutely true. It's very hard to begin a novel. At the begining of the movie, larry, who is billy crystal, is driving himself mad trying to write his next book. I'm ashamed to say that I've done the exact same things that he's done in the one opening scene. As for the rest of the movie; it is hysterical. Danny devito purposely used a sort of dark humor hicthcock style for this film. I also love the personalities of the two characters. Larry is the hyperactive, struggling writer who wants to be brilliant and owen is the dopey, bumbling, low-brow writer who wants to be brilliant. Every line in this movie is pure gold, I tell ya. If you really want to buy this movie, I say just do it. You'll have sympathy for writers and you'll also see a ecentric comedy that delivers on all the goods. Enjoy, fellow movie buffs!
Beware Momma, She's Not a Woman, She's The Terminator.......2005-08-12
Alfred Hitchcock made a great movie called Strangers on a Train and this very funny film is a sort of comic reworking of that same theme. Two people trade murders so there is no motive and the suspect creates an alibi, there is nothing to tie them to their crimes. Things go wrong however because one never agreed to do this in the first place. Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal make a great onscreen pair, but Anne Ramsey steals the show as momma, an overbearing and grumpy woman who's son wants her dead. This film wasn't well received in it's release but dark comedies almost never are. Well worth a watch if you never seen it, and if you have seen it before try it again you may like it better the second time around.
Superb new transfer of a great comedy!.......2005-06-07
This should be advertised more even though it's exactly the same as the last release with one exception. It now has a beautiful new transfer and boy did it need it. As before it has a trailer and 4 deleted scenes, not a loaded special edition, but a beautiful picture once again enhanced for widescreen tvs. Believe me that this is the best you will have seen this movie since it's original theatrical run.
What a Momma!.......2004-11-19
Despite the dark story that lurks behind the comedy in this film it is entirely entertaining from beginning to end.
Larry (Billy Crystal) is a creative writing teacher with a class full of inept writers. He is divorced from a woman (Kate Mulgrew) who has taken his novel and "written" it herself and is now receiving all the glory. Larry is stewing. One of Larry's students, Owen (Danny DeVito), becomes obsessed with a murder mystery he is working on and he follows Larry around hoping for a moment of his attention. Owen has issues....his Momma (Anne Ramsey). The fun begins with a mistaken clue being taken by Owen to mean that he and Larry should criss-cross their anger and murder one another's nemesis and it all leads to a completely amusing journey into the dark part of a suffering mind.
Danny DeVito is the king of black comedy and here he stars and directs with a talented ability to find humor in the darkest desires. Along with Billy Crystal they complete a madcap comedy duo in search of some relief from those who taunt their insecurities. The stand out talent in this film is of course Anne Ramsey, who as Momma, will make you roar with laughter....you stupid poop! For you writers out there this movie takes a great look at the inevitable block that stares us in the face every now and then. Get ready to laugh and store this classic close at hand to re-watch time and again when your own heart feels a little heavy and you need a dose of Momma to ease the pain.
Finally added this classic to my DVD collection.......2004-10-16
Really, how can you go wrong? Billy Crystal and Danny Devito in their primes. I still hear the old lady's voice in my head whenever I hear the name Owen. This movie is hysterical, both in situational and physical comedy. Devito and Crystal made a good team, it would have been nice to see them work on another film together. Owen's mother is played by the same woman who played Mama Fratelli in the Goonies. A great character actress, she makes you hate her as soon as she makes her entrance. Devito is wonderful in his portrayal of an immature man who stills lives with his mother and can't seem to stand up on his own. Crystal plays one of his classic type roles, similar to the Albert Brooks characters, the whiny and frustrated average Joe. A very fun dark comedy, one that every comedy fan should own.
