Retrospective - 2000's "Drowning Mona"
John Thompson
The lovable numbskulls of Verplanck, New York, are all beside themselves with shock and quiet joy when town bully Mona Dearly dies in a freak accident involving her Yugo, some cut brake lines, and a plunge into the Hudson. People's spotty memories and clumsy lies complicate the investigation, and the story is as baffling as the idea that so many big-name 90s stars would make such nonsense.
Bette Midler IS Mona Dearly, the abusive queen of the losers
Danny DeVito IS the town cop
Casey Affleck IS the whiny twink in a blond wig
Jamie Lee Curtis IS the town slut, and barely in it
Three Dog Night IS all over the soundtrack
Yugo IS the official car of the movie

I remember hearing about it, but when I wanted to watch it recently, the bad reviews put me off.

I'm sure everyone wanted to change the title to Drowning Bette after working with that demonic bitch
