Mar 3, 2000 · As the movie opens, a local woman named Mona Dearly (Bette Midler) speeds down a country road and directly into the Hudson River when her brakes fail. It is a measure of the local intelligence that when the car and driver are dragged to shore some hours later, the doctor checks her pulse.
So many insanely funny moments in that movie. If you get a chance, go to the scene when they finally just go over to the Klopek's to chat and the creepy son hands out sardines and pretzels. Tom Hanks (Ray) reluctantly accepts one and he pauses just before eating it to look at his wife. His face is amazing.
secondhandcasket. ADMIN MOD. Has anyone seen Drowning Mona? Recommendation. I have never heard anyone talk about this movie, and it's a solid comedy that i will always turn on whenever it pops up on a streaming service. I don't remember hearing anything about it when it was released, but my wife turned me on to it several years ago.
