Chris S @Janomi Jul 5 Throw Momma from the Train has a clever noir-comedy hook, using Strangers on a Train as the basis for a twisted murder-swap misunderstanding between two miserable men. That setup gives the movie plenty of room for suspicion, confusion, and dark comic escalation. Danny DeVito gives the film its strange personality, both behind the camera and as Owen. His direction is cartoonish, grimy, and offbeat, while his performance makes Owen pathetic, desperate, weird, and oddly sympathetic. Billy Crystal gives the movie a sharper comic center as Larry, bringing bitterness and exasperation to a blocked writer trapped in Owen’s bizarre assumptions. The humor can be very abrasive, and Owen’s relationship with Momma becomes repetitive once the shouting and abuse take over. It has its moments and a memorable oddball identity, but the chaos is more effective in short bursts than across the full movie.

Points for not including a montage with cringy 80s music.
