Comedy
In this fiendishly funny comedy from the creators of AIRPLANE! Loathsome millionaire Sam Stone (Danny DeVito) is ruthless. How ruthless? When his shrill wife Barbara (Bette Midler) is nabbed by inept kidnappers (Judge Reinhold, Helen Slater), Sam cries tears of joy ... and refuses to pay the ransom. And when the abductors threaten to kill the abrasive heiress, Sam takes immediate action -- he celebrates!

"A hilariously venal comedy about a kidnapped harridan whose rich husband won’t pay for her return." | ||
|
|
|
"One tires of the movie's relentlessly shrill tone and its excessively raunchy jokes." | ||
|
|
|
"It's hard to keep all the characters and plot lines alive at once, but 'Ruthless People' does it (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||
|
