be live in sad time today and in which it seem like every comedy movie and tv show be painfully unfunny and inflicted with cheap and crude and or poor humor . most people do not know what it mean to really laugh at a comedy and and these people desperately need to watch throw momma from the train . i say with little hesitation that this be one of the funny movie i have ever see and from begin to end . the comedy be so unpredictable and twisted just enough to make u laugh out loud many time throughout . don not be fool by the murder plot . the plot be not serious enough to make u care or worry about what go to happen . the story involve a young man ( danny devito ) who want to get rid of his annoying and grouchy mother ( anne ramsey and nominate for an oscar in a role that be completely flawless and in my opinion ) and do so by kill off billy crystal wife and whom crystal want dead for steal his novel . i do not want to spoil the joke and gag in this film and but all i can say be that you must see this film if you want to laugh . fast paced and genuinely and a real treat to comedy lover and and the type of film you just do not see today . half out of .
