(More customer reviews)This has to be one of my favorite movies from the 80's. Watch out, when Ruth Patchett (played by the queen of comedy Roseanne) gets ticked off she can cause a lot of damage (and laughs!!!)!! Her worthless excuse of a husband Bob (Ed Begley Jr.) is at the center of Ruth's rage in this comedy about revenge. Roseanne's character learns that she is better than whatever her no-good husband thinks of her, and she sets out to prove him wrong and learns how to start a new life along the way. Meryl Streep's (Mary Fisher) character is totally over-the-top and the perfect addition to this already campy classic. Mary Fisher is a cross between Joan Crawford and Jackie Collins.
There are so many funny scenes in this movie. Perhaps the funniest is when Bob drives Ruth home from the party in the beginning of the film. Poor Ruth has to sit in the back seat of their two-door car while Mary Fisher sits in the front next to her husband! And the bum doesn't even have the common decency to drive Ruth to the door, instead dropping her off a block away from the house! It was also a hoot when Ruth drops off the kids (Andy & Nicolette) at Miss Fisher's because "the children would like to see their father." And of course we can't forget Mary Fisher's kooky mother. Sylvia Mills plays the senior Mrs. Fisher with such comedy and finesse; Mary Fisher's mother almost takes as much joy out of wrecking Mary's perfect lifestyle as Ruth does, almost! And finally, I can't leave out the wonderful character Hooper played by Linda Hunt. Hooper is a dowdy old nurse-maid that helps Ruth start the business Vesta Rose for the harried and hopeless women of New York.

Someone stole her husband...and now there s hell to pay! Roseanne Barr puts a hilarious twist on thedomestic goddesspersona that made her a star and Meryl Streep makes youmarvel at [her] real comic witchcraft(Newsweek). She-Devil is a film that doesn t stop at mild-mannered prankster revenge it s a funny Fatal Attraction on steroids with attitude that s gone bad! Meet Mary Fisher (Streep). She s got it all: a cliff-side villa overlooking the ocean a wholly satisfying career as a romance novelist...and Ruth Patchett s husband. And when Ruth (Barr) discovers that her social-climbing spouse (Ed Begley Jr.) has been spending his time at Mary s pink-and-white-monstrosity-by-the-sea she doesn t just vow to get him back...she vows to get even! Setting out to destroy his business accounts as well as Mary s precious reputation and career Ruth proves the old adage about a woman scorned by delivering up a husband nearly scorched!System Requirements:Running Time: 95 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:COMEDY Rating:PG-13 UPC:027616867797 Manufacturer No:1002578
