Genre: Comedy

This gangster farce features Barbara Hershey in the role of Eva, a waitress who moonlights for her loan shark husband, Al Santana (Robbie Coltrane)–who, in turn, moonlights as an Off Off-Broadway performer. Eva is fed up with the collection game, but Al sends her out on one last assignment: collecting $100,000 from his son, Flav (Justin Theroux). "Frogs for Sale" combines violence with comedy and takes it too far over the limit.

Her relationships with them prove meaningless, and despite her desperate attempts to gain stardom, Wren's efforts prove ill-fated.
