Baltimore Sun
A murder caper that could have been written by Agatha Christie during a pub-crawl.

Los Angeles Times
With a hilarious script and capable cast, the film puts a clever spin on the everyone-is-a-suspect plot.

Portland Oregonian
The ensemble actors give it their all, and that's as it should be in an absurdist comedy of this sort.
25
USA Today
The bad-taste murder farce is just an excuse for a bunch of actors to go slumming and ride about in - ha, ha - Yugos.
20
Salon
The movie is flat-footed, and the pacing gives you time to rest between laughs.

Dallas Observer
With a sneer and a wink, Drowning Mona plunges us into a fresh deluge of idiotic Americana .

Imagine a Movie with Devito, Midler, Casey Affleck, Will Ferrell being anything but terrific & so it is ~ It takes a 2nd View for the snark condescension to sink in but once understood your also "Drowning Mona" & in search of a Classic (YUGO?) It Takes more twists & Turns so the need to view is more the merrier making Mona addicting (Yes My First view a 2 at best having left it disgusted) With several revisits it's now a #9 much like a "Say it isn't so" "Zoolander" or "Ruthless People" This is a Must to be watched more over than once ... Get a Slice of the lowest of middle class church going sleaze of Middle America at it'z damn funniest best ! There is no Message or guide in this movie intending to redirect your life (No Feel good Kumbaya) Rather a visit to the covered in dirt Back-Yard ~ U Don't get it ... (2 SHAME!)

1 murder. 460 prime suspects. Not so much of a 'who done it' as a 'who didn't'.
