I'm still laughing! Bette Midler is great as the bitchy Mona who drives everyone crazy, and due to the tampering on the breaks of a Yugo, finally drives herself into a river. A hilarious who-done-it with so many great parts, it's hard to think of which scene inspired more laughs. The choice of car (Yugo) was wonderful because many of my generation's movie viewers will find it funny that Mona got the engine started in the first place! This was a grand choice of 'graduation presents' purchased by parents, and those of us stuck with them knew that 'You go nowhere in a Yugo'... You know the town is off their rockers when most of the characters are driving this type of vehicle from h---- around.

To be succinct, "Drowning Mona" is the worst movie ever...worse than "Gigli"...Worse than "Cabin Fever"...Worse than any movie with Tara Reid or Paris Hilton. Better to sip cyanide than watch this horrid (unsuccessful) attempt at black comedy.

Note to agent: the kid is funny. The whole movie deserves to be watched as a monthly ritual. Every part was perfectly cast, and the movie is never slow... always entertaining to me and I'm the girl who loves Jane Austen novels, period pieces and any informative documentary over 2 hours. Ang Lee as well!
For some reason this movie just sticks with me. Will Farrell's little twisted role is a huge reason- but it's just something else that makes me pi$$ myself- maybe the Yugo's? I dunno, I try not to analyse it much more than this movie deserves to be in your collection. Oh, as does Detroit Rock City.

I've watched this movie a number of times, and there are a quite a few subtle jokes that keep me from turning the channel. The whole Yugo gag is hilarious, and frankly, Bette Midler is irritating enough for even the viewers to have zero sympathy for her death!

Do not watch "Drowning Mona" if you're expecting something as deep as an Ingmar Bergman flick. On the other hand, if you enjoy outrageously black comedy, sit back, turn up the volume a little higher than usual to catch some of the very witty one-liners and enjoy.
Bette Midler is a nightmare come true. A small-town shrew whom everyone hates. Thus it takes only a few scenes to set up the cheering section as she gets into her son's car, roars off down the road, hits the brakes to slow for a turn . . . and plunges over a cliff when the brakes fail. Not only does no one care about Mona's fate, but one of Police Chief Danny DeVito's cops says to forget about it when DeVito suggests an investigation.
The probable suspect is none other than Affleck, who is to become DeVito's son-in-law within a matter of days.
The movie now becomes Agatha Christie on steroids or worse as DeVito tries to find out who sabotaged Midler's brakes. No one is unhappy that Midler is gone. Not her son, not her husband, not her husband's lover, the town eccentric or anyone else. Mona was not well liked. Of course, just about everyone is a suspect.
Sure, the plot has as much thickness as a shirtboard. But the writing is witty and bright and the acting by DeVito, Midler, Jamie Lee Curtis, Affleck and everyone else is top-notch.
Pure and simple, this is a fun movie, a black comedy that never takes itself seriously, but is well directed and well measured. As one movie studio used to say "that's entertainment" and "Drowning Mona" most definitely is entertaining.
