I found this movie to be a little cheesy- but quite funny as well and definitely one that is worth watching, especially if you are a fan of Rosanne Barr's underdog style of comedy. The plot is also somewhat simmilar to First Wives Club (with a little less sophisticated characters), so if you liked that movie, you will probably like this one. Roseanne Barr plays a doubty suburban housewife and mother, named Ruth. Although she demonstrates clear devotion to her accountant husband, Bob, he does not treat her well and we later learn that he only married her because she was pregnant (and his parents made him- what a guy, hugh?). The plot thickens when Bob and Ruth attend a party and Ruth spills her drink all over the famous romance novelist, Mary Fisher (played by Meryl Streep). For Bob and Mary it is love at first sight and they immediately begin a rather obvious affair. But when Bob tells Ruth that thier marriage is over and he is leaving her to be with Mary, she vows to get revenge by destroying everything that Bob considers to be an "asset" in his life- his house, family, his job AND his freedom...Read full review
A great funny movie.

I love Roseanne Barr and Meryl Streep but this movie just makes me laugh everytime I watch it. I could never find it in the stores or on my video club so I thought once again, e-bay. I was so tickled to find this for my own. Thanks, Royal7s
