She-Devil

So cool that Rosanne's name in the movie was RUTH! Do you know what that means --- the common noun "ruth"? I thought this movie was really funny. Not a great, mind you. Not a classic. I am not lamenting the fact that it got no Oscars. But I am deploring its abysmally low rating on imdb. I just don't get it.

A greatly under appreciated movie. Roseanne was in her prim, Meryl was being her fabulous Meryl self. I just don't understand why they're fighting over a mediocre looking and acting guy. Don't take it seriously.

This movie was SARCASTIC, and poked fun of its own genre. Anyone who didn't understand this, missed the genius behind it! Many of the reviews that were poor must be made by liberals, who continually miss the point and the art of SARCASM. Anyone with even a partially in-tact intellect will find this movie funny and refreshing. Roseanne was AMAZING, and Meryl, as usual, doesn't disappoint.

She-Devil was trumped-up as Roseanne Barr's movie debut!In just a few years our favorite chubby housewife rose from being a stand-up comic performing in bars to having her own TV series and at last co-starring in a major motion picture with the immortal Meryl Streep!The movie itself is rather silly and farfetched!Roseanne is essentially playing herself as a put-apon housewife! But the real surprise is Meryl Streep! She delivers a searing,self-mocking performance as narcissisitic romance novelist Mary Fisher.She plays this role flawlessly!! As a prissy,bluenose diva she reacts hilariously to every twist and turn of the movie's silly storyline!Actually mocking every role she's played before!Roseanne holds her own nicely-but it would't have been possible without Meryl Streep!!

She-Devil wasn't a simply a comedy as used to think, it's more than that, it maybe is a "black Humor" comedy, showing a human nature acting in our advantages in their small world, lies, betrayal, revenge, build carefully to delight us a upcoming propper revenge driven to unscrupulous couple lover, interesting how the whole thing fit together almost perfectly, Roseanne Barr was the high point, underlying rationale of the picture, Meryl Streep has an usual performance as an ambitious woman, Ed Begley Jr. never convinced anyone, an enjoyable black humor comedy.

Before Fight Club & First Wives Club, there was She-Devil. A betrayed housewife who doesn't get even with her cheating, verbally-poisoning, louse of a husband; she gets better by leaving him, and eventually creating a business that helps other displaced housewives and downtrodden women find meaning in their lives again through employment; which is all part of her master plan to bring about the ultimate revenge on her husband -- living well and sending him to jail.

My goodness, all the negativity about this fun and strangely satisfying flick. Everyone I know really likes this movie and has seen it several times. If we can define how good a film is by how many times we're capable of seeing it, then this movie certainly is praise worthy. I also enjoyed Roseanne's performance every bit as Meryl Streep. And why can't people believe that an actress of Ms. Streep's caliber took on this role? She was wonderful and got to demonstrate a great comedic performance. This movie is just plain fun. If you watch it once, I guarantee you'll watch it again and again.
