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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comedic thriller that plays murder-swap schemes for laughs while keeping genuine stakes simmering beneath. It's Hitchcock filtered through the Farrelly Brothers' sensibility, twisted, unpredictable, and genuinely funny.
