Description

Loathesome 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!

    Little known or remembered flick from the 80s, now nostalgic for the costume designs alone, I remember this movie as being hysterical and cleverly done. A sweet couple attempts to be more Ruthless to get back at a boss who stole the wifes skirt design of spandex and kidnap the bosses wife asking for a ransom. What they don't realize is that he was trying to think up a plan to kill her off before they kidnapped her! Such a great movie and without needing todays world of sex and language to make up for otherwise poorly written scripts. This movie is a truly wonderful find!

  • Yay!
