Her growling "I SAID MOOOVEEE" has been burned in my brain for like 3 decades now
It's the high kick she does that's burned into my brain 😭😂
Forreal 💯
No, when she tells Garcia, "The the HEEELLLLLLLL outta my house!" That gets me every time! 🤣🤣
Me too
For me it was “MOTHER GO SITDOWN” 😂😂😂
This movie made me fall in love with Meryl Streep. Her character did the most the entire time and I loved her for it 😭😂
The absolute MOST😂😂😂
She nailed this role. I still enjoy this film
No literally, you are really putting me on to why Meryl Streep is an icon
@@forthenostalgia can you do the first final destination from the 90s?
@@nolipoli430 Oooo!! Yes!
Bob and Mary were living their best romantic novel life until Ruth dropped them damn kids off!😂 Mary lost him and herself in the process Bob was NEVER a prize a selfish cheating father lover & husband 👏🏾
Bob was in his "F them kids and F Ruth too" era 😂😂😂
Heyyy shout-out to you love your channel too
@@G-TV_TheOneManArmy Thank you💕

Facts!!!
This movie was the epitome of “revenge is best served cold” and how to completely annihilate your enemies.
Rose was the original “hit me up style” girl lol😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣FACTS WITH RECIEPTS
😂🤣😭
Also, sorry for the double comment, but can we talk about the more Rose/Ruth becomes independent, the more attractive she gets? There's actually a beautiful, deep message in this whole movie:
Petty and spite are the most powerful motivators on the planet.
Also, self love or something.
One thing I find really weird about this movie is just how many fully grown men hit on the daughter. She's like 12 years old and you have the photographer of the magazine taking pictures of her while she's posing in a bathing suit. And then you have Garcia dirty dancing that child to puberty. No, no.
Why were these choices made? Who thought of this 😆
What is interesting about the daughter though is her transition in wardrobe. She dresses very bland while living with her mother and dresses maturely when living with Mary (more makeup, done up hair, and lots of flowing outfits). She's directly emulating the women in her life through physical appearance until the end where she actually looks her age. She dresses in a simple white dress, bow in her hair, and I don't know how but looks more tiny standing next to her brother and father. Maybe I'm reaching but it's something I noticed
Fun Fact...The Judge Who Put Bob Away Is Played By Esther Rolle's Sister.
Rosanna Carter is the actresses name
Did not realize how dirty Meryl Streep got down, just in these streets ruining (already shaky) marriages. Bob punk ass was beyond trifling, man just said eff my whole family and then got pissed when Rose wanted him to be a damn parent.
My late mother loved this back in the day, might have to find it and give it a proper viewing! So glad I stumbled on your channel!
Its free on UA-cam, i put the link in the description.
I LOVED this movie growing up! As soon as he told his parents they made him marry her because she was pregnant, I was SO happy she went for revenge. How do you lack accountability as a grown man AND be a cheater?! Scumbag.
the greenscreen house exploding takes me OUT everytime 😭
Yes!!! She walked away from that house like it was nothing...pure bliss 😂😂
I just watched it last night at work I kept rewinding that part because those graphics! 😂 First it was a brown house but in the next shot it was a huge brick house... That green screen...🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣
I legit never understood what any of those women saw in bob. He was basic and too entitled. As soon as Ruth dropped those kids off, Bob and the kids would have to go.
So watching this with adult eyes, I think I just spotted a dark theory here.
I think Garcia was grooming Nicolette, let me explain
In the first part of the film, Nicolette looks very tomboyish in the first act of the film. She never talks about boys or makeup but she is very smart in knowing that her dad is cheating on her mom. Or at least that is my guess because she seems to call out both of them on the subject ("Why, so he'll stay at home?" or "Are you sleeping here tonight?" and "That would be unusual."). Andy never says anything so I am not sure if he knew before or not. But with Nicolette, I notice that she matures throughout the film but in a very sexualized way. At the beginning, she is wearing a tomboy-like style but then when she goes to Marry's house, she suddenly starts wearing tight clothes. And yes, you can say its because her clothes are dirty, but even after Marry washes the clothes, she doesn't put on her tomboy two-piece look she had going on at the beginning. What she puts on is something color and very feminity. And throughout the film, Garcia does give glances to Nicolette. Her appearance also changes to look more like Marry, her hair is puffier, shes always in makeup, she wears Marry's clothes. Which is another thing, she wears colorful and more feminine colors in Marry's house, but never her own. She also in bathing suits a lot outside, even though the pool is inside. She didn't seem to mind the attention of the weird cameraman (Chris) was doing when he was taking pictures of her. Why is Chris taking pictures of a child in a bathing suit for a magazine interview!? That scene was also questionable! Where are those pictures, sir!? 👀
Now with Garcia, I just notice that he is way to conferable around her. He does give her more attention in the scenes that they are in. Even the first part of meeting, you do see his eyes on her first before Ruth. It could be just the actor doing the scene that way but it looked odd. Plus his character is suppose to have radiant sexual tension and aura, and being that he touched her behind in the dance scene, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to do more with her behind her father's and Marry's back. And since her father isnt there nor cares, and Marry's just doesnt want to be bothered, it would be that hard for this man to try to influence Nicolette into something.
And then she just suddenly snaps out of it in the end after Marry slapped her. She doesn't wear makeup anymore, her hair is back in a ponytail and not poofy, and she is acting like herself again. She reminds me strongly of Cicilly from Eve's Bayou. Both young girls, the oldest sister, who knows about their father's infidelity, but tries to ignore the problem and make light of it by maturing as women. Bith girls get slapped and have some sort of hurt trauma moment that calms them down a bit and return them to their original selves that we as the viewers saw at the beginning.
Great observation. I like this take.
100%! I always thought it was weird she had her legs wrapped around a whole grown ass man and taking damn near nude photos with that photographer
I like that take. It’s subtle, but I think it plays a big part in the message of the movie as well. The message being that there’s always someone younger and more naive. Notice how Bob was shocked to learn that Mary was 41, and from there we see him coming on to much younger looking women. Nicolette was smart, but young enough to still be naive and easily groomed.
Oh, totally. Which I found soooooo creepy when I first spotted it when I was younger. I mean, sure, Garcia is pretty cute but she's a literal child. Not cool, Garcia.
I noticed this as a kid decades ago...
The husband was a narcissist u see how he gas light every girl he was with in the movie
I just noticed that the pen she was using to right down bob's assets was a rose pen 🌹🖊️ on a rose notepad how clever!!
Those kids were doing that on purpose 🤣🤣🤣 they completely understood what was doing on
I mean they're kids, they're supposed to be messing 😂
That sleezeball icon needs to be on t-shirts and made into stickers 😂
26:27 Was Meryl Streep just stress twerking!?!? "I'M AN ARTIST!!!" ((🍑))💀💀💀💀💀💀
I literally saw this by accident. Too distracted by something else to change the channel once the show I was watching ended. Before I knew it, I was an hour in and was stuck 😂 I remember being so confused when I looked at the cast wondering how I didn’t know Meryl had done a movie with Roseanne.
I watched this movie on youtube about a year ago. Her mama was putting all her business out there 😂 and ain't no way im sitting in the backseat of my own car while my husband and Ms Pretty in Pink flirting in the front 😂😂
18:41 😂😂😂 Idc Rose eating that donut has always been one of my favorite “food tempting” scenes in a movie 😂😂😂 idk why but it is 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️😂😋
This whole movie was the epitome of the saying "God don't like ugly."
“You BASTARD!” 👋🏾 😂😂😂😂
Idk if you talk suggestions but first wives club, enough, jaw breaker, Tank girl, Matilda those movies made my teen years.
I do. Great suggestions and I LOVE MATILDA!!!
I love JAW BREAKER!
Love Matilda. Seen tank girl. I only watched it because of lori petty and a league of their own. Don't remember much. Ice t and rat people? Post apocalyptic. From a graphic novel.
@@missladyanonymity lol close kangaroos 🦘
This and Death Becomes Her are still my favorite Meryl Streep movies after 30years. The unhinged and campy movies of the late 80s and throughout the 90s just hits different and better. 😂
I am so glad you did this movie! It’s so underrated, one of my HBO summer movie finds as a kid. You legit have insightful takes and reflections. I love your breakdowns!
Same experience! I watched this so much as a kid 😂 i was so mad for rose but i love me some ms streep
I’ve never clicked so fast! I love this movie
Same
samee
I Adore this movie it made me love Roseanne and Meryl Streep. Up with this bulls**t I will not put from the maid is my fav line. I love your breakdown. Miss steal your man streep 😂 they don’t make movies like this anymore.
Meryl "take your man" Streep is my favorite actor... PERIOD. Between this and "Death becomes her", she can do no wrong!
The 70’s 80’s and early 90’s were the most diverse in entertainment! All ethnicities were represented. Omg 😂this was that Saturday movie. Love Roseanne..Love Meryl Streep. Thank you for this.
“I said move!!!”😂😂😂
Love watching this movie when I was a kid rosanne character ruth totally deserved to get revenge after what her husband did 🧡🧡🧡
Ruth/Rose served that dish of revenge Arctic cold!
😂
My best friend in middle school introduced me to this film and I knew then & there that this is how you do revenge (if you are vengeful). Anything less is just child's play.
Bob was a changed man after all that 😂😂😂
Once her original maid and butler refused to help, I'll never understand why Mary didn't fire them and hire a new maid (or two).
Or at the very least, send the kids to a boarding school.
Ute the maid got fed up with everything that was going on since she was only supposed to clean and cook for just Mary. When Bob, Andrew, Nicolette, Fuzzy and Mary's mother Fracine came into the house, Ute was at wits end and clearly fed up. Garcia was just being lazy and sleazy by dancing with Nicolette. He got fired.
I was looking forward to this ever since you did death becomes her! Love this story of vengeance ❤😂
You have literally reviewed all my childhood favorites!! We're best friends now.
Hey Bestie 💕
Yasss!!! Love this movie. It’s on UA-cam and I saved it to my movie list. I watched this movie a lot as a kid, but when I watched it as an adult and it has opened my eyes a lot. Both Bob and Mary did Ruth so wrong, but this movie will forever go down as the ultimate revenge for a scorned but faithful wife to a loser. I still want my pink palace by the sea.
Ms Fisher eating chocolates and laughing took me out
She was so entertained 😂
@@forthenostalgia i would be too😂😂
I love this movie so much, it is the perfect revenge movie ever! Homegirl improved herself while also destroying her horrible husband! Who is a major dick, how you gonna cheat on your wife but demand she cares for the kids! Bob deserved this! Not to mention Ruth was such a caring wife, it makes me sad that it had to be Bob being a jerk to make her see her own true potential.
Oh! Thank you for talking about this movie!
“👋🏾I SAID MOVE!!!” 😂😂😂
There has never been a time that I havent fell out when watching that part 😂😂😂
When you said, “he ain’t sh*t”, I hollered 😂😂😂. I watched this movie every time it came on as a kid. I will be watching your Death Becomes Her review as well, it was another fav of mine.
You definitely should do videos on
The first wives club and on the original sabrina film starring audrey Hepburn 🤔
Not you reviewing one of my FAVORITE movies! It’s super slept on ❤
The laundry scene just kills me. First she dumps a whole damn gallon of bleach into the machine, then stuffs a near yard of dryer sheets in (dryer sheets came in rolls back then).
Honestly, this is the personification of every dog has its day.
Husband was a jerk
I knew this story from the BBC short tv-show "Lives and loves of a she devil". That show was superior to this movie; I'd recommend it to anyone if you can find it anywhere.
All the best from the Netherlands!
Yasss this is one of my favorite movies. The revenge was chefs kiss
I agree ❤ she devil is one of my favorite as well and so underrated i love whole content of movie rose is favorite character growth she came with it
When Mary thru that twerking fit on the bed it took me the hell out‼️‼️😆😆😆😆
Mary was so extra with her movements but the spin she does as she pushed bob in tuat chair at the end 😂😂😂
This such a great movie! I remember watching it as a kid with my grandma. Your video is just *chefs kiss*
Thank you so much! Nobody talks about this movie! Meryl Streep turned it OUT for this role, and I loved it!!
It's insane how women in the movie were crazy for Bob. In my view, he is not attractive, but it made him "attractive" in women's eyes due to his way of being a charmer and telling them what they want to hear. Although I enjoyed how Ruth received good karma at the end and became successful, Bob lost EVERYTHING. Also, was it just me, but Ruth left her kids with their father coldly. I would have found it hard to leave my kids behind, but it would have held Ruth back from her success. Girl, I enjoy your channel. Have you done a video on Menace to Society? If so, I can't wait to watch it.
Still one of the funniest movies ever ...The maid "MS .FISHER ..UP WITH THIS SHIT ..I WILL NOT PUT😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!
I absolutely love how you told this in story form! This is one of my favorite old movies and I loved hearing your personality ❤
Mary was not great person, but watching her finally snapping and dumping Bob was cathartic.
I rewatch this movie every single year! Bob was ratchet personified. I laughed so hard the first time I watched it and Ruth dropped those kids off with their dad. 🤣
Meryl is so beautiful to me. I love her cheekbones.
Mary was a man-stealing (even if the man was fully into wandering) tramp, but why was she the the ONLY person that looked out for the daughter being creeped on? The second she saw them together, she stopped it, and fired the do-nothing butler on the spot. She may not be the motherly type, but it was nice for the kids to get SOME parenting from someone.
Lol 😆😭 Not her being in the wrong business 🥴. They put my grandmother on sedatives, they didn't want to deal with her, but that made her incontinence worse.
Bob got exactly what he deserved!!! Ruth got him so good , she made a list and checked it off just like Santa only not in a good way 😂😂😂.
This movie is literally peak Roseanne...I always watch if I bump into it on cable.
The way you pronounced sedatives is too cute😂 my friends from Europe say it the same way😊
Meryl - take - yo -man Streep😂😂 they way she fell straight back after the dog jumped over the hedge had me cracking up!
That whole dance scene with the gigolo butler was inappropriate af. Why was she dressed up like Brooke Shields in that child brothel movie😢 make up and all. When Meryln slapped her then karate kicked I screamed though 😂 she should have thrown the butler out immediately and locked her fast tail in the west wing😂😂
Hugs from Asia 🌺
OMG, she was dressed up like Brooke Shields lol. And Meryl is just....chefs kiss. She's so extra and it works. I bet they were falling out filming this movie.
Back in the 80s I watched the British series, and Ruth did the most for that revenge! I haven't read the book so I'm not sure how close the series was to it, but it definitely ended differently from this movie.
I love this movie! It’s every scorned woman’s dream to destroy a man in the way that he deserves! Ruth didn’t physically hurt him or murk him or make something up, she just exposed his true character and accelerated the karma that would come eventually 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and even though Mary was wrong and got a little taste too, I’m glad things smoothed out for her as well…I guess 🙄 lol.
Have you done War of The Roses yet? If not, pleeeeese review it 😊! I love this classic!
Classic! I've seen this so many times. Just last week! This movie is so good y'all! Ty!! I'm here for it!
Girl this was my movie!
Thank you for covering & breaking down this movie!! It’s such an underrated classic 👏🏽
I have been watching your recaps ALL DAY!!! 😅 thank you
Man I love this movie! Rose was diabolical and I love that for her! 😂
Edit: I also like the comparison of Rose and Mary. How Rose was looking and doing better without Bob and how Mary started to looking exactly how Rose wished her to look while she was dealing with Bob. I always love those small details.
Honestly she devil is a camp classic. And I LOVE Mary’s wardrobe 😍🥰 it’s so over the top and pastel and her pink palace was everything 💖💖💖🌸
Your commentary is truly enjoyable, you have a beautiful voice and a super clear English . As I am Italian I found it super funny the way you say "ciaooo" because we use ciao the same manner (no just to say hello but to also mean" what a.f "or "bye bye, leave me alone").
She said "chile" which means "child". In the south, we (black American women) say it. It can mean many things. She may have meant "can you believe that?"
@@ertfgghhhh really? 😆 thank you very much for your explanation. In Italian we use ciao to mean the same.... almost the same
Pleasee recap best man , the family that preys, why did i get married.. i just discovered your channel n i can watch this all day literally. Please don’t stop doing these🥰🥰🥰
Meryl is really the goat!
Nah this one of my all time favorite movies and your commentary has me rolling!!! And yes, Death Becomes Her and She Devil are hilarious and wish they made these kinda movies still.
This is a classic! Love the reviews!! ❤
i just have to say that I really enjoy your video essays! thank you for being awesome
I love the part when Mary tries to do laundry and starts pouring detergent, and bleach into the machine, and then throws some dryer sheets in there for good measure and here's the doorbell ring, breaks her nail after the lid slams down on it, and then in a kind of crying manner asks if someone's going to answer the door, then yells "IS SOMEONE GOING TO GET THE GD DOOR!" And the part where she's sitting in front of her vanity mirror in her bedroom looking at herself and moving the tip of her nose to see what it would look like if she had plastic surgery and is quietly mouthing "hi" in the mirror, then she realizes that it's hopeless and takes a handful of Valium
Literally just watched this! Great review
One of my favorite movies! I loved how Ruth got even with his ass, and lil miss Mary Fisher😂
This is one of my favorite movies of all time and I’m so glad to finally see someone talking about it.
Meryl is life periodt
Can you do War of the Roses with Michael Douglas in it? It is a good movie that infuriates my soul. Anyways, now to watch the video ❤️🥰.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing a video about this movie. Far too many people just don't know!
75 miles is nothing…😂😂😂😂😂
