The recently deceased Mona Dearly was many things: an abusive wife, a domineering mother, a loud-mouthed neighbor and a violent malcontent. So when her car and corpse are discovered in the Hudson River, police Chief Wyatt Rash immediately suspects murder rather than an accident. But, since the whole community of Verplanck, N.Y., shares a deep hatred for this unceasingly spiteful woman, Rash finds his murder investigation overwhelmed with potential suspects.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wickedly funny whodunnit where the real mystery is narrowing down the suspects, since everyone in a small town had excellent reasons to want the victim dead. It's less about solving a crime than savoring how thoroughly disliked one person can be.
