The War of the Roses had its laughs, but it did not feel like a comedy. It begins simply enough, with 2 people falling in love and spending several years developing their relationship. But the last 90ish minutes is how the relationship turns sour and the 2 slowly become crazier and madder minute by minute. What made The War of the Roses stand out was how convincing Michael Douglass and Kathleen Turner were, and how every action felt reasonable in the moment but was increasingly absurd when you took a step back to observe. The reason why I gave it a 6 was because it wasn't the most fun movie watch, but it was really good, even more intriguing, and I suggest you watch it too.
