“Sam Stone's wife has just been kidnapped... And he doesn't want her back!”
Comedy
Sam Stone hates his wife Barbara so much that he wants her dead. He's ecstatic when she's taken by a duo of kidnappers who want $500,000 ransom in exchange for her life. Fully intending to ignore every one of the kidnappers' demands in the hopes that they do him a favor and murder her for him, the two confused kidnappers have to figure out how they're going get their money, and what they're going to do with the overbearing Barbara.
VIBE
A hilariously cynical romp through the worst of human nature. This dark comedy crackles with sharp dialogue and escalating absurdity, making for a wickedly fun, if morally bankrupt, viewing experience.
