I thought She-Devil was going to be incredibly stupid, but sometimes having low expectations is the best way to be pleasantly surprised by a movie. It was actually pretty funny, and just like the quirky comedy Death Becomes Her, it was fun to see Meryl Streep letting her hair down and having fun with something light.
Rosanne Barr starts the movie married to Ed Begley, Jr., but when his head gets turned by the famous, glamorous romance novelist Meryl Streep, she loses him. There's always trouble in paradise, and Meryl soon finds that out after she steals Ed away. While she was once known for her novels that swept female readers off to exotic locales, once she becomes more domestic, she changes her writing style. In her new book, Meryl writes of a housewife who fills her day with laundry and cleaning, and her sales take a quick nosedive. Meanwhile, Rosanne isn't ready to take her abandonment lying down, and she plots a revenge scheme that will make both of them sorry they ever met.
If you've ever been a wronged woman, gather up a bunch of girlfriends and pour the cocktails. This one's fun, soapy, and fluffy!
