The War of the Roses

1989 • 116 minutes

About this movie

In this blackest of comedies, a perfect 18-year marriage suddenly becomes unglued and the gleefully evil Barbara (Kathleen Turner) and Oliver (Michael Douglas) Rose single-mindedly inflict as much misery as possible on each other. Rather than just get divorced, they declare war, fighting to the bitter end over their huge mansion and every possession in it. Not even the calculating guidance of Oliver's lawyer (Danny DeVito) can stop this uncompromisingly nasty twosome as their vicious battle sends them on an increasingly dark and dangerous path.

Ratings and reviews

These two play so nicely off each other, just like they did in Romancing The Stone. Such great chemistry. This movie is hilarious as The Roses try and one up each other. And as everybody knows, a woman's revenge can NEVER be outdone. She's just brutal....lol. If you're a fan of either Douglas or Turner and enjoyed their other movies together, you'll love this one as well.

"When I watch you eat, when I see you asleep, when I look at you lately, I just want to punch your face in" lol Classic!!

If you have never seen this give it a watch your money won't be wasted
