Description:
In this fiendishly funny comedy from the creators of AIRPLANE!, 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! RUTHLESS PEOPLE. Raucous ... outlandish ... one of the top box office hits of the year!

A milestone comedy of the 1980s, Ruthless People delighted critics and audiences alike and set the tone of Hollywood comedies for years to come. Along with that other popular farce about wealthy Californians, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, this ingenious romp revived Bette Midler's career and launched Disney (by way of its subsidiary, Touchstone Pictures) into the lucrative production of R-rated comedies; it also ensured the star power of then-TV star Danny DeVito. Dale Launer became Hollywood's hot screenwriter du jour by cleverly reworking O. Henry's Ransom of Red Chief into a wicked tale of marital malice heightened by a bungled kidnapping. Midler is sublime as the victim of low-rent abductors ("I've been kidnapped by Kmart!"), and DeVito's the gleeful philanderer who refuses to pay ransom for his wife's unwanted return. With Anita Morris, Judge Reinhold, Helen Slater, and Bill Pullman among the plot-twisting schemers, the movie's so much fun that an eventual remake seems almost inevitable. --Jeff Shannon

Danny DeVito is a wonderful dirtball, and Bette Middler is a spectacular loud-mouth shrew of a wife! They work so well as a dysfunctional couple it's scary! The script and plot for this movie are predominantly well-done....and just original enough to make it sparkle. Judge Rhinehold is great as the average joe who kidnaps Bette so he can demand a ransome from DeVito in order to get revenge...because Danny ripped him off on a business deal and made a fortune! The only problem is, Danny was going ... Read More

This is just plain nuts - a really funny film, with comedic actors who have honed their skills consummately, great scripting and direction, hilarious but believable sets and a thoroughly satisfying experience after viewing - and all for a price that makes going to a cinema look pretty dear. Besides, you can laugh without embarrassment, not endure the slutty language of the teens behind you, and watch the film again with glee, your pre-teens having just as much fun as the home-from-college-blasé sophisticate ...

Sam Stone (Danny DeVito) wants to kill his wife, Barbara (Bette Midler), due to equal parts of hate and greed. Before he can commit the crime, she is kidnapped by a married couple that Stone had cheated years earlier. The kidnappers (Judge Reinhold & Helen Slater) demand a ransom or threaten to kill her but Stone's only interest is in provoking them into doing just that. To add a little spice to the mix, Stone also has a mistress who wants to blackmail him for the murder that she still believes he's committed. ... Read More

Everybody in this movie is just a little wacky. Totally adult movie with Bette Midler at her blue language best. The ending is fantastic.
