I just love this move!!! It's so funny!!! - She-Devil (1989) Discussion

Yes this movie rocks! Ruth was vengeful, but still helpful as we say when they opened the employment agency. Mrs. Fisher was so funny. "Royal my ass! Her father was a kosher butcher from Hoboken. He was a lovely man." This movie is one of my favorite movies from the 80's. I miss quirky, funny movies like these.

She was definitely pretty evil and vengeful in this movie...however, that is NOTHING compared to the book and the minisiries.

MAJOR SPOILERS

The main plot/point in the miniseries/book was something they left out of the movie: Ruth gets an elaborate, deadly, painful, and highly expensive surgery in order to look exactly like Mary. In the book, Mary dies of cancer; in the miniseries, she is pushed out the window to her death. In any event, Bob comes back from jail in the end and he thinks Ruth is Mary (she has taken over Mary's life and has become her) and to get the ultimate revenge, she has sex with Garcia right in front of Bob while he's in the room with her. Now THAT is the worst revenge possible...LOL!

Whether it be a grain of sand or a rock, in water they both sink alike.

Yeah it was pretty funny! It's not great but I think it should have atleast a 6.0 on this site.

Shall we have a footrace?

Great, great movie. People don't know a great movie when they see it!

It is a great movie. I think I can speak on behalf of many when I say the only flaw is the fact that it features Roseanne Barr. I can't take her - not even in small doses - nor do I know anyone who can.

Fortunately, Meryl Streep's hilarious performance easily overshadows hers, making the movie very watchable again and again and again. For that reason alone I can whole-heartedly recommend it.

I love when Bob and Mary are driving up in her car and she opens the mail to find pics of bob's hands on the secretary's ass. Just the way she says "uh, YOU BASTARD!'' and smacks him...so funny

I don't care much for Roseanne, but she was perfectly cast for this part.

That movie's too *beep* funny! I love Roseanne & Meryl Streep! They're awesome!

Wondering why people are not married is the biggest waste of time in the world.

Yeah I freakin' love this movie. I just gave it a 7, but I should've given it a 10, it deserves a higher score.

I just saw it for the first time today on Comedy Central and it's so funny! I love Roseanne and I love how she played this part so perfect. I also loved Meryl Streep in it. I've not seen many movies where she was younger but she was definitely beautiful then, as she is now. I hope to see this again soon.

HappyHalloween!

Great movie. I love it too.

I love it too! I have seen it many times and I never get sick of it. I was so surprised about the IMDb rating. I think it's one of those things where people never saw it but just judged it based on something random and gave it a bad rating. I thought Roseanna and Meryl Streep did a really great job and were very believable. Oh well..their loss.

I love the Internet.

I agree! This is one of my favorite comedies! Rosanne Barr and Merril Streep are both great. I also loved the woman who played Rosanne's partner.
