We a cyborg r.  a casual get a of War r a War of the roses carries dark humor too Farby Chuck v1nch staff writer take the Nastiest divorce Case you be Ever heard of either real or fiction and amplify it a Hundred limes. You still wont be anywhere near the level of intense haired at the Core of Oliver anti Barbara Rose s relationship in the new comedy the War of the roses. In what May Well be the most brutal husband a wife face off Ever Pul on film director Danny Devito gels Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner to Flash heaping doses of dark humor As the roses. Devito directs Wilh a refreshingly original sense of camera angles and also has a supporting role. Oliver and Barbara meet As Young collegiate and soon Are wildly in love. The film then leapfrog Al roughly four or five year intervals to show How disenchanted they become Wilh each other As he climbs the corporate Legal ladder and she sweats to refurbish a Large elegant Home they Purchase. The years go by the children prepare for College and the House project finally ends. Feeling restless Barbara wants logo into the catering business which threatens Oliver a control of their marriage. And that a when the cracks really Start to show. At first its just Little things but it quickly moves Way beyond that. Quot every time i look at you lately i just want to smash your face Quot Barbara finally tells Oliver and then she does a a straight right to his Chin that rocks him off the Wall. Soon enough w a is declared he a sawing the heels off her Imelda Marcos size collection of shoes and she is smashing his precious porcelain figurines. The focal Point is the House which neither is willing to abandon. It reaches the level where Oliver gloats that he has staked out More Square footage than his wife. This seems rational to you both a asks his Friend and divorce lawyer Gavin d Amato Devito. Turner and Douglas have a Nice sense of comic timing especially Turner going from Sweet Lover to sarcastic Vixen to murderous shrew. Douglas effortlessly nails Down the desperate anger of the Yuppie male falling out of marital Bliss. And Devito whose warped sense of humor made his directing debut. Throw Momma from the train something More than it should have been flashes his Skes Ved world View again Here and in works in the first half of the film. But toward the end that darkness contains the seeds of the movie s ultimate demise. The problem is that Devito just goes too far. The roses quite literally end up trying to kill each other and its not played for laughs. Barbara even convinces Oliver hat the tasty Pale she has whipped up is made of gizzards from Oliver a pet dog. Even Devito knew that would be too much As he shows a Quick shot of the dog chained up outside to reassure us that Barbara is not really capable of such a vile deed. But that kind of gag is symptomatic of the film s general Drift toward mean spirited Ness and the ending also seas an unsettling Jolt. The result is that i can t give the War of the roses More than 2 i out of a possible 4  a stripes Magazine 23
