- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Throw Momma is another Hitchcock pastiche or parody, but-it has more depth and humor than usual"
-
"A fun and delightfully venal comedy. Very clever and engaging from beginning to end."
-
"A comedy with a curious tone of depressive whimsy. It manages, somehow, to be both aggressively cute and oppressively sordida"
