Critics' reviews
- "A fun and delightfully venal comedy. Very clever and engaging from beginning to end."
- "A comedy with a curious tone of depressive whimsy. It manages, somehow, to be both aggressively cute and oppressively sordida"
- "Throw Momma is another Hitchcock pastiche or parody, but-it has more depth and humor than usual"
