Funny black comedy about a kidnapping plot not quite going as planned.

The best Coen brothers comedy the Coen brothers never made. "Ruthless People" is a laugh per minute crime caper.

Back in the 80s, studios were bizarrely convinced of Bette Midler's star power...this is probably the least offensive of her offerings, a mildly amusing caper movie in which an amusingly hateful and spoilt Midler is kidnapped by a goody two shoes couple, only to find her spiteful husband Danny DeVito unsurprisingly doesn't want her back.
