Food movies we love: I Love You to Death

What could be a better set up for laughs than a pizza parlor, Kevin Kline, Tracey Ullman, religion, and a few incompetent hitmen? That's basically the set up for Lawrence Kasdan's 1990 dark comedy, I Love You to Death.

Forget about the feel good sentiment in Mystic Pizza or the romance of Like Water for Chocolate, I Love You to Death takes on a pizza-slinging womanizer, Joey (Kevin Kline) and his revenge-obsessed wife, Rosalie (Tracey Ullman). When Rosalie finds out that her husband has been cheating on her for years, she and her mother decide to take matters into their own hands. Being Catholic, however, divorce is out of the question. So Rosalie decides to do the next best thing -- murder.

But unable to do the deed herself, Rosalie hires a pair of good-for-nothing hitmen, who poison, beat and shoot the philandering Joey, who, all the while, remains completely oblivious to the scheme.

Next to his role as Otto in A Fish Called Wanda, this movie is definitely Kevin Kline at his comedic best. I guess that should explain why I Love You to Death is a "Food Move I Love to Death".
