MCT:July 8, 2008Maybe it's to slow and repetitive on the distance and the ending it's no surprise,there are not so many scenes to laugh about...but is funny & cynical enough to be worth a watch.

A great idea that could have been put to better use, and kind of ended up lacking much spark. The greatest factor is Bill Pullman whose character is just priceless, but Midler and DeVito are bland and overrated, in my opinion. The script has its moments but ultimately is let down by inconsistency. Also, there is too much of that terrible disaster-comedy element which really drags it down. On the whole, worth seeing and a forgettable bit of fun...

MCT:June 3, 2008Loved it soooo much, watched it again laat night and love how Bette tries to attack her kidnappers with an electric whisk!

MCT:June 1, 2008The entire cast has a lot of fun with this movie. DeVito really stands out playing this type of character. A funny script, I highly recommend this comedy.

Great film! This film had so many different situations and characters. It was great! Danny DeVito was fabulous as always. Bette Midler was terrific. Judge Reinhold was absolutely great! Bill Pullman's character was just ridiculous and out of it. All the actors characters added so much to the film. The different characters and situations just kept my interest throughout the entire movie. This movie was funny, suspenseful and just so entertaining. This movie was well made. This is a great comedy and just a great film. I loved this movie!

MCT:March 30, 2008As wicked and funny as the title suggests.
Ruthless People combines some extremely underrated comic actors of today in a film of classic screwball proportions that is a joy to watch. -

I love this film so much. Bette Midler is brilliant as the meal ticket wife of Danny DeVito, kidnapped by a couple who have been conned by her husband.
Midler looks a little tired in scenes but her overall performance is brilliant. -
MCT:February 23, 2008I absolutely love this film. Deviton and midler play the greatest married couple ever. Really great movie.

This is one of the funniest movies.....Bette Midler is a talented actress, who plays the "taming of the shrew" to a hilt..

Sure one of my 80's comedy favourites. Bette has never been uglier and meaner and the story has a clever turn when she allies with her kidnappers. At least an annual "MUST"!

I just thought this was so funny...I watched it with my mom the other day on TV, and I laughed my butt off. But you have to remember, this is a movie of the 80's....comedy was different then. So get over it and LAUGH!!!

This film is not really known which is such a shame since I find this film to be so funny & one of Bette Midler's best performances....
Danny DeVito does an awesome job as the dirty cheating husband who wants to get his wife killed in the worst way and thinks that her kidnapping is a blessing from God.....
But not everything turns out the way you'd like and his wife (Bette Midler) really does have the last laugh in this one...
I can't forget Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater who played the kidnappers in this funny comedy abducting Bette for their own personal reasons find that they are in WAY over their heads...
oh and look for a young bleached Bill Pullman (freakin' funny!)
up there on my favorite 80's comedies! -

Funny movie about a rich man's wife who is kidnapped but he doesn't want to pay the ransom money! Great cast.

Debbie? Debbie can't come to the phone right now; my dick is in her mouth. (hangs up) I love wrong numbers.

I really liked this movie. It's funny and like the concept of the romantic-but-not-romantic-comedy. Plus, Danny DeVito and Bette Midler make a wonderful couple in the movie.

I'm sorry but I really liked this movie. It's funny and like the concept of the romantic-but-not-romantic-comedy. Plus, Danny DeVito and Bette Midler make a wonderful "couple".
-
MCT:May 17, 2007Two words, annoyingly annoying. Where was the gunplay and sex??? They didn't think DeVito and Midler could actually carry a movie comedically did they?
-
MCT:May 17, 2007
Back in the 80s, studios were bizarrely convinced of Bette Midler's star power...this is probably the least offensive of her offerings, a mildly amusing caper movie in which an amusingly hateful and spoilt Midler is kidnapped by a goody two shoes couple, only to find her spiteful husband Danny DeVito unsurprisingly doesn't want her back. Not too bad actually.

Bette Midler is SO fantastic in this film, it was a laugh a minute. Something that can be watched again and again.

Great film that set a standard for a lot of comedies that followed it. Very funny..DeVito and Midler are great on screen!

Fantastic 80's comedy that just bounces along with laughs. It's fun just keeping up with all the twists in the plot! DeVito and Middler are just superb in their roles!
