Benedict Cumberbatch's 'The Roses' Gets a "Fresh" Rotten Tomatoes Score

Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman's The Roses, a remake of Danny DeVito's '80s dark comedy classic The War of the Roses, which itself is based on the popular book of the same name by Warren Adler, has landed a fresh Rotten Tomatoes score ahead of its release in theaters. The movie, hailing from veteran comedy director Jay Roach, is scheduled to be unleashed on the big screen on Aug. 29, 2025 — but has it come up smelling of roses or is it a war of words between critics? And how does it fare against the original film adaptation?
