Anne Ramsey Was the Best Part of this Film.

What a performance. I could not stop laughing at her parts in this film. Ramsey was one of those actresses whose work was constantly overlooked and she was never really given much credit until this film. While I agree Olympia Dukakis was the rightful Oscar winner in 1987, I am thrilled to see that Ramsey was nominated!

I agree, she was a crack up. You really did see why her son wanted to kill her BUT she pulled it off in a way that was brilliantly funny

No her character deserves a punch in the face.

Ramsey was great at playing monsterous b**s! In real she was the complete opposite.

Travolta is no Divine!!! No one can replace the great Divine.
