Atom User Reviews for The Roses
Everyone’s relationships grow at fits and starts-and the characters in this story are no exception! I loved this story all the way to the end! There were many moments where people were laughing hysterically and in those moments it felt right to join in and laugh…
Think this is your typical love hate relationship breakup…maybe not or maybe so but it was funny, witty, poignant, typical with some quirks and twists. Ending….gotta see it to find out. Great cast. Little weird some parts.
At points it felt weird but the story was beautiful
War of the Roses is epic for the Twentieth Century. The Roses is epic to the Twenty - First Century. Both films kept my attention. The script is hilarious. The actors brought the story to life
Great movie! Story acting and the English accent. Beware of the curse words!!
Metacritic
There are dark marriage comedies and then there’s “The Roses,” an escalating hatefest that, by the time a loaded gun comes out, all the fun has been sucked out. It’s hard tonally to go from microaggressions to the burning of someone’s prized books to attempted murder and stay a comedy.
Unfortunately, “The Roses” is a toothless take on the material. The stakes are never as high as they were in the 1989 movie, and the film takes too much time trying to humanize these people. By the time they’re actively trying to sabotage and murder one another, the movie has completely lost its nerve. The end result feels rushed and weak-willed.
It’s not the toothless remake we feared, and is often very funny, but there’s a slight imbalance between the Roses that blunts some of its effect.
