REVIEW
In this wicked, hilarious black comedy, Douglas and Turner portray Oliver and Barbara Rose, a married couple whose once idyllic life - complete with two kids, beautiful mansion and unlimited cash - has dissipated to a limb-breaking, psyche-smashing battle of the sexes. Sort of a demented '80s version of Tracy and Hepburn, Douglas and Turner - who always play well off each other - have rarely been funnier. Douglas' characteristic quirks - the "yuppie" agressiveness and dispassionate demeanor - are well used here, and Turner is nothing short of stunning, both physically and as a comedic actress.
