All’s fair when love is war. The Roses is a 2025 satirical black comedy film directed by Jay Roach, loosely based on the 1981 novel The War of the Roses by Warren Adler, and a remake of the 1989 film.
Starring an absolute all-star cast of Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao and Kate McKinnon.
Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Colman) & Theo (Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites.
With so much coarse language, so many witty one-liners, this was a fun little film. The only bad thing was, a lot of these funny bits were actually in the trailer.
So maybe avoid the trailer below...
