Welcome to another edition of Adam's Reviews!! **queue in intro music**

Today's movie review is the revenge comedy She-Devil (1989) starring Roseanne Barr as Ruth a wife and mother who tries to please her husband but finds him pulling away and spending more time at the office than at home and soon begins an affair with a famous romance novelist Mary, played by the queen herself Meryl Streep. The husband leaves Ruth and his kids so what does Ruth do? Basically, she decides she's had enough of playing nice and quiet housewife. What happens next is a cool elaborate plan by showing the truth about the adulterous couple while creating a new successful life of her own.

Roseanne does well as the superheroine in the vengeance department and was a good transition from her current state into a business woman with a hard grip on her own destiny. Meryl Streep does well to drive through a range of hilarious emotions. How she handles a scene involving a dog licking her feet while she awakes is funny as. Overall a funny flick which demonstrates never underestimate anyone who is been treated badly - 6/10
