This movie isn't without its quirks. The town of Verplanck, New York is over run by Yugos, everyone has them and everyone has personalized license plates. Something else everyone in Verplanck has is a hatred for Mona Dearly, and when she suddenly turns up dead after someone cuts her breaks, everyone in the town is a suspect.
While the movie contains some funny moments they are too few and far between and a lot of the jokes fall flat on their face. It's a decent comedy, but it tries to hard to intertwine a serious mystery plot. Will Ferrell is pretty good as Cubby the Funeral Director (who runs a funeral home with a giant "As Seen on TV" sticker on the sign) and Jamie Lee Curtis turns in an excellent performance as Rona the waitress. Other than that, there's nothing too special about "Drowning Mona."
4 out of 10.
