Synopsis

This is a comedy of the very nastiest kind, about a couple whose marriage is coming apart and who refuse to make any compromises on the divorce settlement. That might not seem like a formula for laughs, but it is. What makes the film enjoyable is the incredible imagination that the pair use to come up with ever more elaborate schemes of revenge against each other. Very clever and very funny, if you have the stomach for it.

Director/s
