Danny DeVito's directorial debut is a pitch black comedy about a nebbish middle-aged man who lives with his overbearing mother and plots her demise when he becomes inspired by Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train and gets a struggling writer (Billy Crystal) to do his dirty work for him, in exchange for doing his ex-wife in. It's a comedy of errors that is frequently funny, and Momma (portrayed by Anne Ramsey) is a hilariously terrifying presence.
