The Roses

[Silvercoconut]

Anyone seen? With Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. Saw it this evening,
Sort of like War of the Roses, hysterically laugh out loud funny in parts, Olivia is just wonderful. Some quite sad moments too. Recommended!

I thought it was dreadful. The original was far superior.

me and dh saw the original in the cinema in 1990, i remember it was great
saw this remake and was disappointed because i knew what would happen

DH enjoyed it, so that makes a change!

Enjoyed it, very funny and a bit sad. Great ending, also enjoyed the original

just saw it on Disney plus and really thought it was so naff

love both the actors normally but I didn’t feel they had any chemistry at all

I just didn’t find it funny at all

irrationally irritated that it was “set” in California despite clearly not being California “no way is that house American, it has privet hedges” said dh. Only reason surely was to justify the existence of the American supporting cast, who were there for commercial reasons presumably, and were equally naff

I know the thread is a bit old, but I just saw it, I didn't enjoy it, and this was one of the main reasons. 2 hours ish of my life I won't get back (kept waiting for it to "start")
