In this blackest of comedies, a perfect 18-year marriage suddenly becomes unglued and the gleefully evil Barbara (KATHLEEN TURNER) and Oliver (MICHAEL) 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 uncompromising twosome as their vicious battle sends them on an increasingly dark and dangerous path.
Synopsis: Popular black comedy about a marriage gone awry. Critically acclaimed for its darkly funny, no-holds-barred vision of a sour romance. Pleases fans of genre in mood for nasty, ironic tone.
