Throw Momma from the Train

Owen asked his friend Larry for a small favor.

A darkly comedic thriller that mines humor from a murder-swap premise, balancing genuine suspense with irreverent farce and character-driven comedy.

Larry Donner, an author with a cruel ex-wife, teaches a writing workshop in which one of his students, Owen, is fed up with his domineering mother. When Owen watches a Hitchcock classic that seems to mirror his own life, he decides to put the movie's plot into action and offers to kill Larry's ex-wife, if Larry promises to murder his mom. Before Larry gets a chance to react to the plan, it seems that Owen has already set things in motion.
