Im team barbara. She shoulda gotten the house no debate !
Domestic angst taken to its extreme, in this great dark comedy.
Just hilarious, the chemistry between these actors is great.
A classic tale reminding us that it is almost always better to resolve things amicably. Great cast. Dark and funny.
Hilarious, cautionary tale of the length to which people will go to hate each other.
A dark comedy that keeps it up until the end. Very well done.
Black Comedy about a bitter divorce. The script, acting, cast- all perfect and memorable.
Great late 80’s movie. Some comedy some drama and it all works.
As anti-romantic and unsentimental as comedy can be. Catch Homer Simpson's voice actor as the would-be divorcee listening to this grim tale.
Bitterly funny and sharply acted. The marriage breakdown is over-the-top, but it makes for wild entertainment.
