I don’t know who told me this was a feminist film, but it most certainly is NOT. It perpetuates every stereotype about “feminist” ideas. Roseanne Barr plays Ruth, an “unattractive” overweight woman and her husband, Bob, like most other people she encounters, treats her horribly. When her husband cheats on her with a famous romance novelist, she decides to exact revenge in a number of insane ways (like burning down the house while the children are at school and then forcing her ex to take them). After being independent, this woman still fixates on torturing her husband and his new significant other instead of just moving on. It portrays women as in need of a man as well as deceitful and emotionally unstable. Screw you, She-Devil.
The Worst Part:
Bob: I've worked so hard for! You're a bad mother, a lousy wife, and a terrible cook! In fact, have you looked in a *mirror* recently? I don't even think you're a woman. You know what you are? You're a *she-devil*!
