Throw Momma From the Train Reviews
Demonstrates more talent laughing at Hitchcock than Mel Brooks in High Society… [Full review in Spanish]
| Jun 14, 2022
Throw Momma from the Train is a comic triumph for all involved.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 15, 2019
Danny DeVito directs and stars in this funny, offbeat homage to Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, but it's co-star Billy Crystal who brings all the elements together

So-so diverting one-note black comedy.
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 11, 2016
...a fairly forgettable piece of work that could (and should) have been so much better...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 27, 2015
Dark '80s comedy with slapstick and sexual content.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 13, 2012
Very clever and engaging from beginning to end, pic builds on the notion that nearly everyone - at least once in life - has the desire to snuff out a relative or nemesis, even if 99.9% of us let the urge pass without ever acting on it.

If it all gets a little soft-centred towards the end, there's more than enough vitality and invention to be going on with.

Funny film that sort of play-acts being a black comedy
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 18, 2004
This black comedy careens all over the place to squeeze laughs out of matricide, jealousy, and the ego trip of writers. Most of the time, the humor is strained
