Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Janet MaslinAs Owen, Mr. DeVito is such an odd combination of the childlike and the diabolical that he remains a captivating figure throughout the story. Mr. DeVito's comic timing is particularly enjoyable, since he has such a slow, steady, deliberate way of building up to outrageous behavior.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 8/10 by Jay ScottA 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.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffVery 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.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonThrow Momma is another Hitchcock pastiche or parody, but--taken from Stu Silver's coldly clever, verbally intricate script--it has more depth and humor than usual.
United Press International - 7/10 by Cathy BurkeDanny 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
Washington Post - 7/10 by Desson ThomsonThe movie's one-note broadness seems suited more to cable. And the story takes the wrong routes -- leaving Crystal's Larry nothing more than likable, and capitalizing callously on the irregular facial features of Anne Ramsey as the villainous Momma.
Reel Film Reviews - 6/10 by David Nusair...a fairly forgettable piece of work that could (and should) have been so much better...
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Brian CostelloDark '80s comedy with slapstick and sexual content.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Dave KehrAlways a spoof rather than a homage, this comedy soon realises there's only so many laughs you can plunder from the heavy premise and the repetitive carriages.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertThe plot in Throw Mama from the Train is top-heavy, but the movie doesn't make as much as it could from its weird characters.
