This spotty black comedy from Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill)--based on a true story--stars Kevin Kline as a womanizing pizzeria owner whose mousy wife (Tracey Ullman) tries multiple ways of murdering him with the aid of sundry friends and hired hands. The film never picks up the necessary momentum or develops the necessary tone to drive it, and one is left picking and choosing which of the performers is at least adequately entertaining. Kline is good but perhaps a bit too theatrical, and Joan Plowright is hilarious as his mother-in-law. The funniest joke in the whole thing belongs to William Hurt and Keanu Reeves as deeply-stoned, would-be-killers who emerge from a taxi and look as if they can't remember what planet they're on. --Tom Keogh

I had heard of this film...but just recently finally rented - and it's a riot. First, I love all things River Phoenix. It's great to see him still live and breathing and he's actually quite funny in this one. Put him with Keanu and William Hurt...and of, course Kevin Kline - and it's alot of fun to watch. I could watch it again and again. Would highly recommend this comedy. It's not meant to be taken seriously - but just to enjoy. So, don't try this at home.
FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! September 30, 2008

This movie is based on the real life antics that occurred here in Allentown, Pa. to a friend of mine, his family and employees.
Here's the story: "When Anthony Toto, 37, a pizza-shop owner in Allentown, Pa., put up $50,000 bail for his wife Frances Lenore, the local police and others in the community were stunned. The reason: according to charges filed by the district attorney, Frances had conspired to murder her husband -- not once but twice.
The bizarre case began on Jan. 25. That night, prosecutors contend, Anthony Bruno, the 20-year-old boyfriend of Toto's 17-year-old daughter Elizabeth, crept into Toto's bedroom, located the .25-cal. gun that Toto kept near his bed and fired a bullet into his head. Toto was grievously but not fatally wounded.
Then his wife Frances allegedly began force-feeding him large doses of barbiturates, which succeeded only in putting him into a semiconscious state. Two days later, according to police, two friends of Anthony Bruno's, hired by Frances for $500, showed up in the bedroom to finish the job. They were Ronald Barlip, 19, and his cousin Donald, 18. The bullet one of them allegedly fired entered an inch from Toto's heart, but it too proved not to be lethal.
Police, tipped off by an informant, entered the Toto house two days later and found Toto asleep, breathing heavily: doctors later speculated that the barbiturates he had been given may have saved his life by drastically lowering his metabolism and retarding the bleeding.
Police arrested Frances, Bruno, the Barlips and the two Toto children, Elizabeth and Anthony. Toto was released from the hospital two weeks later, with the first bullet still lodged in his skull. He says he intends to stand by his family during the coming court proceedings. Said an Allentown police detective: "He loves her." The district attorney's office is said to be worried about the case: Tony Toto promises to be a hostile witness." Tony's wife was found guilty and sentenced to time in Muncy, Pa. women's correctional facility. Tony moved the family there to be near her. Art and Linda Beers wrote the non-fiction book that was bought for the movie. After coming out to L.A. to do the screenplay, they were ripped off for all their efforts by not getting any credit for their work. The credit for it went to John Kostmayer who didn't do the real digging for the story, he just adjusted the work of the Beers'.

This 1990 release is one of those quirky little comedy movies overlooked almost immediately after release. But, unlike others, this cast is loaded with talent: Tracey Ullman, Kevin Kline, Joan Plowright, River Phoenix, William Hurt, and Keanu Reeves. Kevin Kline's "Joey Boca" is a gem of characterization. [Imagine a Joey Buttafuoco with actual warmth and real charm, yet retaining the crassness.] Kevin Kline plays this endearing pizzamaking/Lothario to the hilt, complete with Italian accent. And William Hurt and Keanu Reeves as the stoner hitmen "Harlan" and "Marlon" hired to kill him are Beckett characters on dope. Everything's improbable and yet somehow it all works beautifully. Recommended: Order an extra large pizza, buy some beer, and invite some friends over who really like to laugh.
[This movie perhaps deserves more than the three lousy stars I gave it, but unlike other armchair critics, I'm not just giving out my four- and five-stars like bon-bons. The is a VERY GOOD little movie.]
