''I Love You to Death'' is a 1990 American BlackComedy film directed by Creator/LawrenceKasdan, starring Creator/KevinKline, Creator/TraceyUllman, Creator/RiverPhoenix, Joan Plowright, Creator/WilliamHurt, and Creator/KeanuReeves.

Joey Boca (Kline) lives with his wife Rosalie (Ullman) in Tacoma, Washington. They earn a modest living running a pizzeria, with Joey making a few bucks on the side as a handyman. Unfortunately, money's not the only thing Joey is getting on the side. Rosalie finds out that he's been cheating on her with several of his clients. Devastated, she vows to get back at him. As a devout Catholic, divorce is out of the question. Murder, on the other hand ...

HilarityEnsues when Joey proves harder to kill than anticipated, while remaining blissfully unaware that anyone is trying to kill him. Rosalie is aided in her attempts by her tough-as-nails Yugoslavian mother Nadja (Plowright), devoted busboy with a crush Devo (Phoenix), and drug addicts-turned-impromptu hitmen Harlan (Hurt) and Marlon (Reeves).

!!The film contains examples of:
* TheCasanova: As seen above, Joey ReallyGetsAround.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Devo, to Rosalie.
* DirtyCommunists: Invoked by Harlan and Marlon. They may be performing murder for hire, but they're getting paid, which makes them better than Commies.
* ForeignLanguageTirade:
** Joey confesses to using one against his mother-in-law, but justifies it since it was in Italian and she couldn't understand it, so it's technically not a sin. The priest considers for a moment and declares "Oh no, it counts."
** Happens when the mother-in-law in question starts chewing him out in Serbo-Croatian, while being chewed out in Italian, with Rosalie (the only one who can understand both but is the target of neither) sits in the middle and tries to get them both to stop in English.
* MadeOfIron: Joey is beaten, poisoned, and shot, but is still up for a game of Monopoly. In fact, shooting him in the head only wakes him up from his poisoning (and it turns out being fed two bottles of sleeping pills slows his bleeding down enough that he doesn't bleed out from the two gunshot wounds). When asked how he feels, he only claims to have a bit of a headache due to a virus.
* TooDumbToLive: Marlon. Harlan is no genius, but his cousin has to be constantly reminded who Joey is and why they're there.
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Inspired by the actual case of the Totos, a Pennsylvanian couple where, in 1984, the husband was poisoned and shot by his wife. He spent four days in bed before being discovered. They later reconciled and did the TV interview circuit: him from the studio and her from prison.
* WomanScorned: Rosalie was a perfectly nice and normal person until she found out her husband was banging half the neighborhood.
