    Executed on a pretty broad level, but if characterization is slighted, the ensemble is so rich, with such depth, that every few minutes another juicy turn keeps coming our way to divert us.

    With a hilarious script and capable cast, the film puts a clever spin on the everyone-is-a-suspect plot.

    This is a hillarious movie. It took a couple of viewings before I "got" it, but it's a great film. It reminds me of the Bonnie Bakely trial. The woman was so despised that anyone who came in contact with her could have been culpable! Jamie Lee Curtis steals the show as a greasy spoon waitress who is having an affair with Mona's husband AND son! Worth seeing for sure!… Expand
