Larry Donner, an author with a cruel ex-wife, teaches a writing workshop in which one of his students, Owen, is fed up with his domineering mother. When Owen watches a Hitchcock classic that seems to mirror his own life, he decides to put the movie's plot into action and offers to kill Larry's ex-wife, if Larry promises to murder his mom. Before Larry gets a chance to react to the plan, it seems that Owen has already set things in motion.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Better yet, just throw the whole thing in front of a subway and hope it gets dragged a couple of miles.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
"Throw Momma from the Train" is a series of missed opportunities and unexploited situations, a movie that wants to have genuine nastiness at its heart but never quite works up the energy or the nerve to be truly heartless.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Mr. Crystal and Mr. DeVito ... make one of the oddest pairs imaginable but have a rapport that's a delight.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
If it all gets a little soft-centred towards the end, there's more than enough vitality and invention to be going on with.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
Very clever and engaging from beginning to end, pic builds on the notion that nearly everyone - at least once in life - has the desire to snuff out a relative or nemesis, even if 99.9% of us let the urge pass without ever acting on it.
