Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Though ''Ruthless People'' has few moments to equal the inspired lunacies of ''Airplane!'' it's a true farce -- uniformly, cheerily nasty...
Fresh: Ruthless People is a hilariously venal comedy about a kidnapped harridan whose rich husband won't pay for her return.
Fresh: The characters here aren't just bad; most of them are truly vile -- human slime. And the film makers chew them up (especially two nefarious bonbons played by Danny DeVito and Bette Midler) with the toothsome glee of jolly cannibals.
Fresh: Ruthless People contains some of the biggest laughs of 1986.
