D P @RT45936356 Sep 23, 2026 For some reason, I recently remembered my brother talking about this movie when it first came out. So, I decided to watch it. Cool. Now I have seen it. Typical quality for its time with a few decent laughs. See more Mitchell C @Mitchellandback Sep 20, 2026 When kidnapping meets pure incompetence. Everyone is greedy, pissed off, or dumb enough to deserve what’s coming. The jokes are filthy, and the whole thing runs on asshole energy. Nobody is innocent. Nobody has a clue. And that makes it fucking hilarious. See more Maria Q @MariaQe Aug 18, 2026 Ruthless People is a comedy about kidnapping, marriage, money, and the basic human failure to behave properly. Everybody wants the money. Nobody wants the husband. That’s the beauty of it. The kidnappers are amateurs, the victims are worse, and the whole thing keeps getting more stupid in exactly the right way. It’s vicious. It’s absurd. It’s hilarious. Nobody is innocent. And nobody is smart enough to know it. See more Michael H @Mixhael Aug 6, 2026 Ruthless People is a beautifully unhinged collision of greed, stupidity, and spectacularly bad planning. The characters are walking disasters with perfect timing, and the hilarious one-liners come flying like everyone showed up armed with a joke and a grudge. It's a glorious mess of kidnappers, schemers, and clueless egomaniacs all convinced they're the smartest person in the room. Sharp, ridiculous, and endlessly quotable, this is the kind of comedy chaos that leaves you laughing at the wreckage.

They just don’t make them like they used too See more Don V @bondo150 Aug 4, 2026 This is what happens when greed, ego, kidnapping, bad luck, and astonishing incompetence all collide at highway speed. Every character believes they're the smartest person in the room, which is exactly why everything catches fire. Metaphorically. Mostly. Danny DeVito weaponizes selfishness with such gleeful commitment that you're never quite sure whether to boo him or buy him a drink. Bette Midler transforms from apparent victim to unstoppable force of nature, stealing scene after scene with razor-sharp comic instincts. Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater complete the glorious circus, proving that criminals who can't organize their own lunch should never attempt a felony. The screenplay is the film's secret accomplice. The writing is wickedly clever, packed with sharp, hilarious dialogue and setups that pay off with the precision of an expensive watch wrapped inside a whoopee cushion. See more Read all reviews
