Review of Throw Momma from the Train (1987) by Jay Scott for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 08 Feb 2012
A lively black comedy, surprisingly stylishly directed by DeVito (his début), it thankfully soft-pedals on the hysteria front to concentrate on verbal non-sequiturs and quirky characterisation. If it all gets a little soft-centred towards the end, there's more than enough vitality and invention to be going on with.
