Drowning Mona (2000)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Despite Danny De Vito's top billing, Drowning Mona drowns itself in humor that never rises about sitcom level. Contributing to the Mona's problems is that the characters are never really interesting, and there is a noticeable lack of energy in the character roles

The cars are the funniest thing in the movie. And really, they're not all that funny.
Too bland to be repulsive.

Once you sit through the rest of this comedic approximation of a soak in pond scum, you may wish you had joined her in the Hudson River.
Drowning Mona is a funny comedy for about 90 seconds.
Sitting in the theater watching this crap, it's impossible not to wonder why one bothered to go at all.

Mona, a screenplay dripping with contempt, gives its cast enough rope and enough bad jokes to make you feel seriously sorry for all of them.
Audience Reviews for Drowning Mona
Borrows a lot from drawing room/dinner theater mysteries because everyone but everyone wants to see the victim dead ... and transports the action to some po-dunk upstate New York town. Alas the scenery change - nor the sad Yugo as the victim of countless sad jokes - can jump start the inertia felt here.

uummm not to shore whether this was good or not really it was vaguly amusing but not much of a story i guess different people have different taste !! give it a go !

This dark, tasteless, and cynical comedy is funny as hell, although the suggestively violent segments may repel mainstream viewers. It's a warped murder mystery involving a roster of nitwit suspects so hilariously feeble-minded that they can't help but look guilty... particularly since everybody in the entire hamlet of Verplanck, New York, loathed the victim. Peter Steinfeld aptly calls his script a "white-trash Murder on the Orient Express."
