   Is Ruthless People a good movie?

   • The movie is slapstick with a deft character touch here and there. It's hard to keep all the characters and plot lines alive at once, but "Ruthless People" does it, and at the end I felt grateful for its goofiness.

   Is 'Ruthless People' a comedy?

   • A comedy of a different kind from the creators of "The Naked Gun" and "Hot Shots", "Ruthless People" is not the usual sight-gag, send-up stuff. It is however, still a very funny film. Danny De Vito is miniskirt entrepreneur 'Sam Stone', a man who would like nothing better than to kill his wife.

   What is ruthless people about?

In this case, the passion is hatred for his wife and for all that she stands for, and for all that her rich father stands for, and even for all that her poodle stands for.

   Was Ruthless People based on a true story?

   • Although it has been perceived that Ruthless People was influenced by O. Henry 's story "The Ransom of Red Chief", writer Dale Launer claims that it was inspired by the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst and that the similarities between the film and the earlier story were a coincidence.

   Roger Ebert June 27, 1986. Tweet. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. It is so hard to play a lovable villain, and Danny DeVito does it so easily. His eyes narrow, his voice deepens, and he speaks with great earnestness and sincerity about his selfish schemes and vile designs.

   Ruthless People is a divine comedy, thanks in large part to bombastic Bette Midler, who's no longer down and out in Beverly Hills but chained to a bedstead in Santa Monica. She's an explosive bundle of kvetch and kitsch, the spark in this madcap kidnap caper.
