Comedy about literature, love, motherhood and murder, starring Danny DeVito, Billy Crystal

Larry has writer's block - his ex-wife stole his ideas. Owen has a mental block - his overbearing mother stifles his life. Each man has had murderous thoughts; but when Owen takes it into his head to kill for Larry, he expects the same ruthless service in return: Larry must kill Owen's momma - or else!
