Six Ways to Sunday (1997)
Norman Reedus stars as Harry Odum, a henpecked, 18-year-old momma's boy in Youngstown, Ohio, who -- with his violent temper -- impresses a local boss of the Jewish Mafia. Soon he's found his calling as a hit man alongside his crack addict partner Arnie Finklestein (Adrien Brody), and he discovers that his rage and complicated psychosis fuel his murderous abilities. Harry also falls for the organization's limping, Hungarian-born maid Iris (Elina Lowensohn), a romance complicated by Harry's Oedipal, sexual relationship with his domineering mother Kate (Deborah Harry).

A different way of telling a story
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
This movie is definitely not a comedy(not like other people think). It's more like drama or crime thriller or even in some parts a romance bot not a comedy. There was to many violent, shocking and even sad scenes to call it comedy. Some people really live this way and it's more sad than funny. Anyway the movie is great. It's length only 97 min but it felt like it was 3 hours because there were so many twists(some of them were predictable on the other hand). Deborah Harry was great. Althau she get quite unusual role(her character reminded me Orsons mother from Desperate Housewives) but she managed her role perfectly. Other actors were great to. This is really unusual film and it's worth your time. It will grab your attention in a first 5 minutes.
Six Ways to Sunday is definitely one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen, but I loved it at the same time. Norman Reedus is one of my favorite actors so every movie he is in he does an amazing job. He played an 18 year old boy named Harry Odum, who is pretty much babied by his mother. Blondie, also known as Deborah Harry, did a great job as an over protective mother. I think my mom is over protective, but she doesn't even come close to how Deborah Harry's character is.It's a dark comedy with some bloody scenes and if you can handle some awkward moments then rent it for sure. I only bought it for 4 bucks and I thought it was worth it.
Debbie Harry is a great actress as well as a singer/songwriter. She is great as the child obsessed Mother of Harold. Harrold is now working for the Mafia to support his bizarre mother, Kate.Thouroughly Enjoyed this film, one of Harry's better better ones.
This is a movie unlike any other I've seen. Bizarre undertones create an intriguing psychological tension throughout the film. Deborah Harry is PERFECTION as the uncomfortably close mother of a young guy who is drawn to mob life and gets in too deep. Truly unique and haunting, and directed with style.The other review of this film obviously didn't get it. There is dark comedy throughout, and some brutally violent scenes...perhaps that's confusing to viewers who need special effects and pre-fab soundtracks. SEE THIS FILM.
