    One of those unfortunate efforts which looks a wow on paper great plot, great director, Grade A comic cast but which sinks like a celluloid Titanic under the weight of more ham than a butcher's shop. Based on a gift of a true story (woman tries desperately to kill unfaithful hubby, but he seems clottishly indestructible), yet everyone appears inexplicably hellbent on pressing the destruct button. Joan Plowright is unbelievably over the top as an eccentric mother-in-law, who just stops short of warbling Nessun Dorma over the credits. A dreadful waste of all concerned.

    An interesting meatball

    A pretty good film all round, this number. Kevin Kline is fantastic as the womanising, pasta scoffing, pizza throwing object on Tracy Ullman's affection and assassination attempts following her discovery on of her husbands not so discreet frollicking. Joan Plowright as her mother is particular funny and curiously adept at bumping people off in what looks like freak accidents. River Phoenix does well as a hippy whimp inexplicably attracted to middle aged frumpy house wife Ullman who helps her in her atttempts to make Kline swim with the fishes. Hurt and Reeves are the washed up and occassionally hilarious but useless assassins that are dragged out of their local bar by the lure of crumpled bankotes to carry out the terrible deed. Basically, an amusing film, well acted and written, plenty of laughs, ECT. This review has gone on too long, enjoy.

    Worth a look but no deep dish!

    This film ambles along nicely but only as it is well cast )especially Phoenix, Reeves and Hurt) Kevin Klines accent is ridiculous. Fans of the cast only!
