I've just watched this film for a second time. I'm really, really, really surprised it gets such a bad write-up.
Here are few examples I plucked from IMDB:
I couldn't believe great talent like Jamie Lee Curtis, and Danny DeVito would star in Drowning Mona, a dull, one dimensional film with poor comedy
With all this star power you would assume the movie would be better than it was. I did not dislike it but sure did not like it all that much.
For some reason I allowed myself to suffer through the entire movie. In our house Drowning Mona is a joke whenever we see a bad flick -- it's alway, Wasn't as bad as Drowning Mona. If you're thinking about this movie - forget it! Considering the cast I don't know how it was so bad, but trust me, it is bad!
and:
Really oddball attempt at black comedy doesn't quite hit the mark because it's not really all that funny
What's going on???
The characters are great, the story line is funny, the text is hilarious and the setting is classic.
Am I the only person to jump to defend this brilliant movie?
It's the characters which make the film and each and everyone of them is brilliant. This alone should bounce the film to oscar nomination levels...
Tssss...humans....they piss me off. They'd rather eat cabbage than watch a good movie!
