Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon and Allison Janney also star in Jay Roach's reimagining of ‘The War of the Roses,' the novel about spousal warfare and its 1989 film adaptation.

As the cruelty ramps up, "The Roses" becomes less and less humorous despite its stellar cast, writes our reviewer.

Divorce is a misery, and so too is The Roses. This second cinematic version of Warren Adler’s 1981 novel The War of the Roses, like its 1989 predecessor starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, fails to find anything funny about a couple whose union devolves into all-out war.
