About this product

Product Information

Director Nick Gomez is known for gritty urban street tales like LAWS OF GRAVITY and NEW JERSEY DRIVE. So while the subject matter of DROWNING MONA isn't necessarily a departure, the film's farcical tone certainly is. During the opening credits, the despicable Mona Dearly (Bette Midler) is seen driving her Yugo into the Hudson River. This sets off an investigation headed up by Chief Rash (Danny DeVito), who quickly determines that Mona was murdered. Now his problem is that everyone who knew the woman is a possible suspect. Her self-described battered husband, Phil (William Fichtner), her unnaturally dumb son, Jeff (Marcus Thomas), and her son's much-abused, good-natured landscaping partner, Bobby Calzone (Casey Affleck) all have motives. Complicating matters, Phil and Jeff were both having an affair with the same waitress (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Bobby is engaged to Chief Rash's lovely daughter, Ellen (Neve Campbell). The comedy has its dark moments--there is a grisly running joke about how Jeff lost his hand--but the energetic cast, the film's colorful palette, and quick pacing help make the film quirky fun.

  • Quirky

    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.

  • The ultimate sleeper film

    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.
