Rating:  -
Everybody in this movie is just a little wacky. Totally adult movie with Bette Midler at her blue language best. The ending is fantastic.
Rating:  -
An excellent cast perfoming in a movie with a terrific premise. deVito & Midler are excellent and why do we not see Judge Reinhold more. Have seen this movie several times and I laugh every time.

I had forgotten how inspired and truly funny this movie is. Watching it again was a real delight. While the scenes I had fondly remembered still paid off handsomely, there were MANY others that are just terrific. For example, the scene with the money payoff at the plaza when Sam Stone (Danny DeVito) pulls a gun on Ken Kessler (Judge Reinhold) to take his ransom money back and the police (dozens of them) tell him to put the gun and case down. Then, as Ken is getting ready to drive off up rolls Earl Mott (Bill Pullman) to steal the ransom money. Earl's behavior when confronted by the police is stunningly wonderful and we cheer when one of the cops notes that Earl must be the stupidest man on the face of the Earth and that they maybe should shoot him.
The title refers to three pairs of ruthless people. Sam Stone is the "spandex mini-skirt king" and has made millions. While he pretends to be devoted to his wife, Barbara (Bette Midler), whose name he delightfully mis-pronounces with a kind of "w" for the last "r", he actually hates her and at the beginning of the movie is planning to kill her to get access to her fortune (which is many times what he has made with his mini-skirts). He is also having an affair with Carol Dodsworth (Anita Morris), who is probably the most ruthless person in the film. She pretends to care about Sam, but is really only interested in getting at his money and isn't above blackmail, murder, or anything else. However, she has taken the aforementioned moron, Earl Mott, has her henchman. Earl's ineptitude undermines her plans at every step, but she is attracted to him physically.
The third pair of "ruthless people" is a pair that kidnaps Barbara before Sam can kill her. We learn that Ken and Sandy Kessler (Helen Slater) are victims of Sam's ruthless business practices and have devised a foolish scheme to get what was promised to them. They are not only not suited to be criminals because they are not only not ruthless people; they are actually nice and tenderhearted people.
It is the interactions of the machinations and failures of these three couples and the other wonderful characters in this film that make for all the laughs and there are many of them.
It is a delightful film even 20 years later and very much worth watching again.

For my money, this is one of the funniest movies Hollywood ever made. It starts out funny, and continues funny, right up to the end, when you realize that the good guys have won.
The entire cast: magnificent.
If you want to sit around feeling glum tonight, DON'T WATCH "RUTHLESS PEOPLE!!!" :-) :-)

My wife and I were bored on a lazy Saturday afternoon so we decided it was time to throw in a fun movie and relax. We picked Ruthless People. Hysterical. For a mid-80s comedy, it still packs a punch. Danny DeVito and Bette Middler are classic. DeVito is Sam Stone, a scumbag clothing mogul who stole the idea of the spandex miniskirt and made millions! Bette Middler is his spoiled wife, Barbara, who gets kidnapped by Helen Slater (the woman who actually designed the spandex miniskirt) and Judge Reinhold and winds up losing weight and growing a conscience. Stone was planning to kill his wife, who he detests, when she gets kidnapped before he can do it. Perfect. Problem solved. That is until they arrest Stone for her murder and he needs her back to prove his innocence. Devito plays such a perfect assh*le when he wants to. This is 80s comedy at its best. If I can still laugh at it all these years later, it's funny. And the fashions from the 80s represented hereare outlandish! This DVD is definitely worth the money. This, along with Down And Out In Beverly Hills represent two of Middler's best comedy flicks. Great!
Dig it!
