The movie tells the story of Ivy, played by Olivia Colman, and Theo, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. They seem like the perfect couple at first. Everything looks great until one of them gets a big career opportunity. What starts as a small disagreement slowly turns into a full-blown domestic war. The story shows how love can quickly turn into rivalry, resentment, and chaos when things go wrong.<\/p>\n
The film also features a strong supporting cast, including Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zo\u00eb Chao, Belinda Bromilow, and Kate McKinnon.<\/p>\n
The Roses is a modern take on the 1989 dark comedy The War of the Roses, which starred Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. While the original movie earned a strong 84% critics\u2019 rating on Rotten Tomatoes, The Roses scored 65%. This shows it didn\u2019t quite reach the same critical acclaim, but audiences seem to enjoy it more than the critics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
