6.2 IMDb
IMDb Trailer

Larry Donner, an author with a cruel ex-wife, teaches a writing workshop in which one of his students, Owen, is fed up with his domineering mother. When Owen watches a Hitchcock classic that seems to mirror his own life, he decides to put the movie's plot into action and offers to kill Larry's ex-wife, if Larry promises to murder his mom. Before Larry gets a chance to react to the plan, it seems that Owen has already set things in motion.

Editor's Notes

Note

Kino Lorber 4K dropping April 28 with a new scan from the original camera negative, Dolby Vision, and a Barry Sonnenfeld interview as the headline extra. DeVito directed this and it's one of his best. The reaction to the announcement has been warm, with people praising Kino for their recent run of 80s comedies on 4K. No reviews yet since it hasn't shipped, but the Kino track record with catalog titles has been strong. Pre-orders up at Diabolik and Unobstructed View for Canadian buyers.
