I Love You to Death

When she finds out the extent of his philandering, Tracey Ullman decides to kill her pizza shop owner husband Kevin Kline. The problem is he won't die. Even a couple of amateur hit men fail to get it done.

Don't you hate when that happens?

Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda, The January Man, and De-Lovely) and Tracey Ullman (what hasn't she done) lead a very strong, very funny cast of recognizable faces. Joan Plowright (101 Dalmatians, Last Action Hero, and Dennis the Menace) stars as the scheming mother in law who attempts to poison Kline with her meat ball sauce. What married guy can't relate to that?

The late great River Phoenix (Sneakers, Indiana Jones Last Crusade, and Stand By Me) and Keanu Reeves (same character he has played in everything from Parenthood to Point Break when he got stoic all of a sudden) show up as determined, but luckless hit men. I have to admit being able to relate somewhat to these two guys. Some days are like that. Their dialogue is actually very very good.

Several other familiar faces and a very fast-paced script make this movie a fun story to watch, regardless of whom you are rooting for. Yes, this is a "guys=bad girls=good" movie, but not to the Thelma and Louise extent.

Watch this movie with someone who will still like you afterwards.
