INTRO

Oh hi, 

This week on FilmSack we perhaps spend a little too much time with our loving mother’s and WOOOOAH MOMMA ….. be careful… a stranger with an no alibi could “toss” you FROM THE TRAIN… no… “pitch” .. “pitch” you FROM THE TRAIN? “Hoist” someone could “hoist” you FROM THE TRAIN Momma?  Words are hard. Now let’s THROW our attentions over to HBO Max Max for this Crime Comedy from 1987 that answers the question …  Does Owen have a Friend? He does not according to momma.

Anywho, When I’m not desperately workshopping synonyms for words for my intros, I’m looking for the perfect casual sex partner with a kink. Last week it was a lover who liked to bark like a dog while porking on the couch. This week it is a lady who likes to do it on kiddie trains until it attracts chip eating looky-loos and then we retreat to the bedroom where she reads The Little Engine That Could to get me in the mood. Choo choo and the into the tunnel we go. Damnit Danny DeVito…who’s directing this thing… you or Rob “Meathead” Reiner.

Randy, unsalted nuts make me choke! ya clumsy poop…. And don’t burn the toast!

BRIEF

Larry (Billy Crystal), an author with a cruel ex-wife, Margaret (Kate Mulgrew), teaches a writing workshop where Owen (Danny DeVito), one of his students, is fed up with his domineering mother (Anne Ramsey). When Owen watches a Hitchcock classic that seems to mirror his own life, he decides to put the movie’s plot into action and offers to kill Margaret, if Larry promises to murder his mom. Before Larry gets a chance to react to the plan, it seems that Owen has already sealed Margaret’s fate.

Rated: PG-13
1987 ‧ Comedy/Crime ‧ 1h 28m
