About this movie

After years of driving the town crazy, Mona Dearly (Bette Midler) drove herself into a river. But when this twist of fate turns out to be an act of murder, Chief of Police Wyatt Rash (Danny DeVito) has his work cut out for him. The obnoxious Mona is survived by a town full of enemies, aka prime suspects, including her cheating husband (William Fichtner), his mistress (Jamie Lee Curtis), a heartless son (Marcus Thomas), the police chief's daughter (Neve Campbell) and her fiance (Casey Affleck). To know Mona Dearly was to hate her, and the big mystery isn't who would want to see her dead...but who wouldn't. Now, Chief Rash tries to figure out who to blame but the town just wants to know who to thank. (Original Title - Drowning Mona) © 2000 Marigold Productions, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

I cannot seem to track down this movie anywhere local to buy, so I will have to settle for renting it. I own it on VHS from years ago, but as we all know, the DHS has become obsolete LOL. my player doesn't even want to work anymore, it is over it. it has retired.I'm sure many people think this is an awful movie, but I think that's what makes it so great. it has a great cast list, and is all around enjoyable.

Objectively, I know this is a bad movie but I love it. It's just plain, silly fun.
