Trailer
Throw Momma from the Train
1987
Struggling mystery writer Larry (Billy Crystal) is exasperated by his mediocre student, Owen (Danny DeVito), who has imagined a gentlemen's agreement to kill Larry's devious ex-wife if Larry offs Owen's domineering, overbearing mother (Anne Ramsey) in this classic black comedy. Larry begrudgingly attempts to hold up his end of the bargain after Owen carries out his, but scene-stealing Momma proves to be an extremely difficult target.
Owen asked his friend, Larry, for a small favor...
