A fairy tale romance ends in embittered and protracted divorce proceedings in a fight for the house and all their possessions, which becomes more about payback and petty revenge. Director Danny DeVito portrays the lawyer, while Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner play the hapless couple, reuniting them and undoing their happily ever after from Romancing the Stone. I love DeVito's kinetic visual flair, which feels like it owes a lot to German Expressionism.
This is a darkly satirical comedy that will scare you off marriage for life.
