Drowning Mona (2000, USA) C-95m. ** D: Nick Gomez. Starring Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Neve Campbell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Casey Affleck, William Fichtner, Marcus Thomas, Peter Dobson, Mark Pellegrino. Lame farcical comedy set entirely in a small town, where all the characters know each other. When Midler dies in a planned car accident, sheriff DeVito is baffled to find so many suspects among her relatives. Who tried to get rid of her? In flashbacks, we are told the story of her life and death. Not funny enough, nor fluently plotted, a disappointment. Only the cast maintains a marginal interest.
