Drowning Mona

Drowning Mona is a 2000 U.S. crime comedy starring Danny DeVito as Wyatt Rash, a local police chief from Verplanck, New York, who investigates a mysterious death of Mona Dearly (played by Bette Midler), a spiteful, loud-mouthed and around the town highly unpopular woman, who drove her Yugo off the cliff and drowned in the river. After finding out that the accident was caused by a brake failure, Rash supposes that Mona was actually murdered and begins to investigate who could be the possible killer. However, this shows itself as a quite difficult assignment, since almost everyone in town had something against her. The movie co-stars Neve Campbell, Jamie Lee Curtis and Casey Affleck among all, and is also some sort of spoof about the Yugo car company using the town of Verplanck as a test area for their new model years ago. Every vehicle in town, with the exception of trucks and police cruisers, is a Yugo.
