Plots(1)
Rosalie Boca (Tracey Ullman), the devoted wife of a philandering pizza maker (Kline). When Rosalie learns that he's been squeezing more than just tomatoes, her homicidal instincts take over. With the help of a New Age busboy (Phoenix), drug-addled cousins Harlan and Marlon (Hurt and Reeves), and her own mother (Plowright), Rosalie attempts to send Joey to that big bed in the sky. (official distributor synopsis)

Kind of, well, bland, and that's despite the great Kevin Kline, whom you trust with the Italian womanizer the same way you've already trusted Peter Sellers with the French detective, the Indian actor, the US president, or the German ex-Nazi. At the same time, the subject matter of I Love You to Death isn't bad either, but I think it needs a lot more "Britishness" to keep it witty and not just dry with the occasional joke... In short, to be on a par with, say, A Fish Called Wanda two years before.

It is probably the most likeable role of Kevin Kline I have ever seen. And it says a lot about the movie since he doesn’t portray the nicest person under the sun. Quite the opposite. The film is kind of a black comedy, ideal to help you fill some free time. The only real plus of this movie is the permanently stoned Keanu Reeves who really shined in this role.
