Once inia lifetime comesia motion picture that makes you feel like fallingiin love again. This isinot that movie.
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.

a fitting war - 4.5 out of 5 (11/5/2001)
In the realm of comedy, there is dark comedy and there is the utter pitch
black of WAR OF THE ROSES. And when I say Utter pitch black, I mean there
are few other films that you have to watch with a flashlight handy.
The film re-teams Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny Devito (who
also directs) from ROMANCING THE STONE, but this time there is no sunny
romantic subplot to guide us along. This film brings one hilariously funny
book to life in the story of a love affair gone horribl

Quite a JOY to have this Film Noir on DVD - 4 out of 5 (3/21/2002)
This will never be my favorite film. But it will be one that I will want to watch over and over, because everytime I think that I have figured it out, a new layer unveils itself.

It is Roses, however, where we get to see a very different set of characters.Douglas plays Oliver Rose, a sweet, naïve workaholic. Douglas makes this cliched
