The War of the Roses can best be described as a slapstick tragedy concerning the decline and literal fall of a marriage. After 17 years, Oliver (Michael Douglas) and Barbara (Kathleen Turner) Rose want a divorce. Not for this couple is there anything resembling a "civilized understanding"... and so it goes, culminating in a disastrous showdown around. DeVito and screenwriter Michael Leeson never let us forget that the couple's self-indulgent imbroglio exacts an awful price upon their children (Sean Astin and Heather Fairfield). The War of the Roses was adapted from the novel by Warren Adler.

Ditzy flatmates Lolly (Melanie Mayron) and Hattie (Helen Slater) busk in the subway but can't make ends meet.

In this Manhattan crime caper, the receipts pile up as the duo dip into the deposit, but it's a matter of time before gangsters appear to recall the loan.
