Meryl Streep is divine in this misguided guilty pleasure
Misses the savage satire of Fay Weldon's novel.
Proof that Roseanne sold her soul for fame.
A so-so entry in the knee-em-in-the-nuts genre.
It absolutely doesn't work.
Just as big of a surprise that Streep and Barr are working together, is the fact that this is mildly entertaining.
A flop at the time of it's release, but actually a very good and funny female revenge fantasy from the seriously underrated director Susan Seidelman.
