This is a cult classic, worthy of at least a 90% tomato rating. Come on now. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review r96 s 'Drowning Mona' is funny viewing. A great time was had watching. It's an amusing flick and also a smart one, I really enjoyed the use of flashbacks (especially with the unreliable pov aspect) in particular. Each character has their own personality trait too, which is nice. I do like this humour, which is quite dry and almost deadpan - right up my alley. The music is good as well, particularly towards the end with the usage of "Popcorn" and "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag". Pacing-wise it's spot on, what with its brisk run time of 90 minutes. The cast list is top, everyone onscreen does great work here. Danny DeVito is more laidback than usual, I'm unsure if I like him as such but the low energy trait works because each character, as noted already, has their own schtick so I didn't question it all that much to be honest. Casey Affleck's bumbling Bobby is good, that word couldn't be used to describe his trim though... that's a wig, right?! William Fichtner, Marcus Thomas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell and Bette Midler play their parts to a strong standard. Will Ferrell and Melissa McCarthy appear too! A bit of a hidden gem, this. That's strange given those on the cast. Looks like I might be in the smaller section of (the small in itself) audience that highly enjoyed this one. Admittedly, the general view seems to be that it's passable at worst. Either way: recommended! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review alan g Third rate cast in a fourth rate movie. Danny Defeated crap as usual. Bette playing her usual brassy loudmouth self. Bad acting, confusing plot. Lets throw Mona into the pool. Predictable ending. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Affleberry F This is a nice little gem from 2000. Great cast & written well. The story does get convoluted a wee bit, but overall ties everything up in the end. Definitely a movie I enjoyed quite a bit & definitely worth the watch! ✌️ Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Robin H I am surprised at the low number of positive reviews for this movie. It is a silly, lighthearted comedy that I thoroughly enjoyed. If you are looking for something deep and cerebral, you will want to look elsewhere. If you enjoyed A Fish Called Wanda you will most likely enjoy Drowning Mona. And if you do enjoy the movie please give it a positive review on Rotten Tomatoes. It breaks my heart to see such a low rating for this fun little movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
