If you like "black" comedy, then you'll love Drowning Mona ! Danny DeVito who plays the sheriff of this small town is a hilarious character. DeVito moves through the movie, following leads to who might know more about Mona's death and becomes one with the various families. Bette Midler plays a perfect Mona with lots of sarcastic remarks and the looks to go along with a thoroughly dispictable person. Jamie Lee Curtis is a star in this movie for her varied scenes and her "down home" image. The movie is one funny act after another with different characters, the whole cast is funny. Best scenes in the movie are DeVito driving around town in his Sheriff's -Plymouth "K" car with his left arm leaning out the window, watch for it ! The entire population of the small town all drive Yugos in various states of repair, where did the producers find this many Yugos ? I've never been a fan of funny movies but this one still makes me laugh.Read full review
With a full cast of stars, it tells a mystery story of the death of the crabbiest woman in town. The entire cast could host a dysfunctional family picnic. A good movie to watch with likable and unlikable characters. Biggest drawback is all those stupid Yugo cars. I know, but it's part of the story line.

This is a file that, on the surface, looks to be a simple comedy. Yes, it's funny the first time you see it, but the real humor keeps coming out ever subsequent time you watch it.
