'The Roses' Review: A Surprisingly Relatable Dark Comedy
No one would call the 1989 Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner comedy The War of the Roses a fine-grained examination of a dissolving marriage. The primary selling point of the film — itself an adaptation of Warren Adler's 1981 novel — was to see how pitch black a dark comedy could get, and even then, it was pretty bleak. So what’s odd — and a tad disappointing — about its inevitable remake, The Roses, is that the promise of new and uncharted levels of cruelty goes largely unfulfilled.
