Trials of a married single mother| She-Devil 1989 - 90s cult classic movie commentary 

This movie made me fall in love with Meryl Streep. Her character did the most the entire time and I loved her for it 😭😂

Bob and Mary were living their best romantic novel life until Ruth dropped them damn kids off!😂 Mary lost him and herself in the process Bob was NEVER a prize a selfish cheating father lover & husband 👏🏾

Her growling "I SAID MOOOVEEE" has been burned in my brain for like 3 decades now

This movie was the epitome of “revenge is best served cold” and how to completely annihilate your enemies.

Also, sorry for the double comment, but can we talk about the more Rose/Ruth becomes independent, the more attractive she gets? There's actually a beautiful, deep message in this whole movie: Petty and spite are the most powerful motivators on the planet. Also, self love or something.

One thing I find really weird about this movie is just how many fully grown men hit on the daughter. She's like 12 years old and you have the photographer of the magazine taking pictures of her while she's posing in a bathing suit. And then you have Garcia dirty dancing that child to puberty. No, no. Why were these choices made? Who thought of this 😆 What is interesting about the daughter though is her transition in wardrobe. She dresses very bland while living with her mother and dresses maturely when living with Mary (more makeup, done up hair, and lots of flowing outfits). She's directly emulating the women in her life through physical appearance until the end where she actually looks her age. She dresses in a simple white dress, bow in her hair, and I don't know how but looks more tiny standing next to her brother and father. Maybe I'm reaching but it's something I noticed

I LOVED this movie growing up! As soon as he told his parents they made him marry her because she was pregnant, I was SO happy she went for revenge. How do you lack accountability as a grown man AND be a cheater?! Scumbag.

Rose was the original “hit me up style” girl lol😂

Did not realize how dirty Meryl Streep got down, just in these streets ruining (already shaky) marriages. Bob punk ass was beyond trifling, man just said eff my whole family and then got pissed when Rose wanted him to be a damn parent. My late mother loved this back in the day, might have to find it and give it a proper viewing! So glad I stumbled on your channel!

Fun Fact...The Judge Who Put Bob Away Is Played By Esther Rolle's Sister.

I legit never understood what any of those women saw in bob. He was basic and too entitled. As soon as Ruth dropped those kids off, Bob and the kids would have to go.

26:27 Was Meryl Streep just stress twerking!?!? "I'M AN ARTIST!!!" ((🍑))💀💀💀💀💀💀

“You BASTARD!” 👋🏾 😂😂😂😂

I just noticed that the pen she was using to right down bob's assets was a rose pen 🌹🖊️ on a rose notepad how clever!!

The husband was a narcissist u see how he gas light every girl he was with in the movie

This whole movie was the epitome of the saying "God don't like ugly."

So watching this with adult eyes, I think I just spotted a dark theory here. I think Garcia was grooming Nicolette, let me explain In the first part of the film, Nicolette looks very tomboyish in the first act of the film. She never talks about boys or makeup but she is very smart in knowing that her dad is cheating on her mom. Or at least that is my guess because she seems to call out both of them on the subject ("Why, so he'll stay at home?" or "Are you sleeping here tonight?" and "That would be unusual."). Andy never says anything so I am not sure if he knew before or not. But with Nicolette, I notice that she matures throughout the film but in a very sexualized way. At the beginning, she is wearing a tomboy-like style but then when she goes to Marry's house, she suddenly starts wearing tight clothes. And yes, you can say its because her clothes are dirty, but even after Marry washes the clothes, she doesn't put on her tomboy two-piece look she had going on at the beginning. What she puts on is something color and very feminity. And throughout the film, Garcia does give glances to Nicolette. Her appearance also changes to look more like Marry, her hair is puffier, shes always in makeup, she wears Marry's clothes. Which is another thing, she wears colorful and more feminine colors in Marry's house, but never her own. She also in bathing suits a lot outside, even though the pool is inside. She didn't seem to mind the attention of the weird cameraman (Chris) was doing when he was taking pictures of her. Why is Chris taking pictures of a child in a bathing suit for a magazine interview!? That scene was also questionable! Where are those pictures, sir!? 👀 Now with Garcia, I just notice that he is way to conferable around her. He does give her more attention in the scenes that they are in. Even the first part of meeting, you do see his eyes on her first before Ruth. It could be just the actor doing the scene that way but it looked odd. Plus his character is suppose to have radiant sexual tension and aura, and being that he touched her behind in the dance scene, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to do more with her behind her father's and Marry's back. And since her father isnt there nor cares, and Marry's just doesnt want to be bothered, it would be that hard for this man to try to influence Nicolette into something. And then she just suddenly snaps out of it in the end after Marry slapped her. She doesn't wear makeup anymore, her hair is back in a ponytail and not poofy, and she is acting like herself again. She reminds me strongly of Cicilly from Eve's Bayou. Both young girls, the oldest sister, who knows about their father's infidelity, but tries to ignore the problem and make light of it by maturing as women. Bith girls get slapped and have some sort of hurt trauma moment that calms them down a bit and return them to their original selves that we as the viewers saw at the beginning.

That sleezeball icon needs to be on t-shirts and made into stickers 😂

the greenscreen house exploding takes me OUT everytime 😭

Idk if you talk suggestions but first wives club, enough, jaw breaker, Tank girl, Matilda those movies made my teen years.

I literally saw this by accident. Too distracted by something else to change the channel once the show I was watching ended. Before I knew it, I was an hour in and was stuck 😂 I remember being so confused when I looked at the cast wondering how I didn’t know Meryl had done a movie with Roseanne.

I watched this movie on youtube about a year ago. Her mama was putting all her business out there 😂 and ain't no way im sitting in the backseat of my own car while my husband and Ms Pretty in Pink flirting in the front 😂😂

I Adore this movie it made me love Roseanne and Meryl Streep. Up with this bulls**t I will not put from the maid is my fav line. I love your breakdown. Miss steal your man streep 😂 they don’t make movies like this anymore.

Those kids were doing that on purpose 🤣🤣🤣 they completely understood what was doing on

18:41 😂😂😂 Idc Rose eating that donut has always been one of my favorite “food tempting” scenes in a movie 😂😂😂 idk why but it is 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😂😋

Meryl "take your man" Streep is my favorite actor... PERIOD. Between this and "Death becomes her", she can do no wrong!

I’ve never clicked so fast! I love this movie

I am so glad you did this movie! It’s so underrated, one of my HBO summer movie finds as a kid. You legit have insightful takes and reflections. I love your breakdowns!

The 70’s 80’s and early 90’s were the most diverse in entertainment! All ethnicities were represented. Omg 😂this was that Saturday movie. Love Roseanne..Love Meryl Streep. Thank you for this.

Love watching this movie when I was a kid rosanne character ruth totally deserved to get revenge after what her husband did 🧡🧡🧡

This and Death Becomes Her are still my favorite Meryl Streep movies after 30years. The unhinged and campy movies of the late 80s and throughout the 90s just hits different and better. 😂

“I said move!!!”😂😂😂

I love this movie so much, it is the perfect revenge movie ever! Homegirl improved herself while also destroying her horrible husband! Who is a major dick, how you gonna cheat on your wife but demand she cares for the kids! Bob deserved this! Not to mention Ruth was such a caring wife, it makes me sad that it had to be Bob being a jerk to make her see her own true potential. Oh! Thank you for talking about this movie!

Ruth/Rose served that dish of revenge Arctic cold! 😂

Once her original maid and butler refused to help, I'll never understand why Mary didn't fire them and hire a new maid (or two). Or at the very least, send the kids to a boarding school.

My best friend in middle school introduced me to this film and I knew then & there that this is how you do revenge (if you are vengeful). Anything less is just child's play.

I was looking forward to this ever since you did death becomes her! Love this story of vengeance ❤😂

You definitely should do videos on The first wives club and on the original sabrina film starring audrey Hepburn 🤔

Yasss!!! Love this movie. It’s on RU-vid and I saved it to my movie list. I watched this movie a lot as a kid, but when I watched it as an adult and it has opened my eyes a lot. Both Bob and Mary did Ruth so wrong, but this movie will forever go down as the ultimate revenge for a scorned but faithful wife to a loser. I still want my pink palace by the sea.

The laundry scene just kills me. First she dumps a whole damn gallon of bleach into the machine, then stuffs a near yard of dryer sheets in (dryer sheets came in rolls back then).

“👋🏾I SAID MOVE!!!” 😂😂😂

Ms Fisher eating chocolates and laughing took me out

Honestly, this is the personification of every dog has its day.

When you said, “he ain’t sh*t”, I hollered 😂😂😂. I watched this movie every time it came on as a kid. I will be watching your Death Becomes Her review as well, it was another fav of mine.

You have literally reviewed all my childhood favorites!! We're best friends now.

Not you reviewing one of my FAVORITE movies! It’s super slept on ❤

Yasss this is one of my favorite movies. The revenge was chefs kiss

I knew this story from the BBC short tv-show "Lives and loves of a she devil". That show was superior to this movie; I'd recommend it to anyone if you can find it anywhere. All the best from the Netherlands!

Mary was not great person, but watching her finally snapping and dumping Bob was cathartic.

I agree ❤ she devil is one of my favorite as well and so underrated i love whole content of movie rose is favorite character growth she came with it

Husband was a jerk

It's insane how women in the movie were crazy for Bob. In my view, he is not attractive, but it made him "attractive" in women's eyes due to his way of being a charmer and telling them what they want to hear. Although I enjoyed how Ruth received good karma at the end and became successful, Bob lost EVERYTHING. Also, was it just me, but Ruth left her kids with their father coldly. I would have found it hard to leave my kids behind, but it would have held Ruth back from her success. Girl, I enjoy your channel. Have you done a video on Menace to Society? If so, I can't wait to watch it.

Thank you so much! Nobody talks about this movie! Meryl Streep turned it OUT for this role, and I loved it!!

Still one of the funniest movies ever ...The maid "MS .FISHER ..UP WITH THIS SHIT ..I WILL NOT PUT😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!

Meryl is so beautiful to me. I love her cheekbones.

I rewatch this movie every single year! Bob was ratchet personified. I laughed so hard the first time I watched it and Ruth dropped those kids off with their dad. 🤣

When Mary thru that twerking fit on the bed it took me the hell out‼️‼️😆😆😆😆

This such a great movie! I remember watching it as a kid with my grandma. Your video is just *chefs kiss*

This movie is literally peak Roseanne...I always watch if I bump into it on cable.

Bob got exactly what he deserved!!! Ruth got him so good , she made a list and checked it off just like Santa only not in a good way 😂😂😂.

The way you pronounced sedatives is too cute😂 my friends from Europe say it the same way😊 Meryl - take - yo -man Streep😂😂 they way she fell straight back after the dog jumped over the hedge had me cracking up! That whole dance scene with the gigolo butler was inappropriate af. Why was she dressed up like Brooke Shields in that child brothel movie😢 make up and all. When Meryln slapped her then karate kicked I screamed though 😂 she should have thrown the butler out immediately and locked her fast tail in the west wing😂😂 Hugs from Asia 🌺

I love this movie! It’s every scorned woman’s dream to destroy a man in the way that he deserves! Ruth didn’t physically hurt him or murk him or make something up, she just exposed his true character and accelerated the karma that would come eventually 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and even though Mary was wrong and got a little taste too, I’m glad things smoothed out for her as well…I guess 🙄 lol.

Have you done War of The Roses yet? If not, pleeeeese review it 😊! I love this classic!

Back in the 80s I watched the British series, and Ruth did the most for that revenge! I haven't read the book so I'm not sure how close the series was to it, but it definitely ended differently from this movie.

Honestly she devil is a camp classic. And I LOVE Mary’s wardrobe 😍🥰 it’s so over the top and pastel and her pink palace was everything 💖💖💖🌸

I absolutely love how you told this in story form! This is one of my favorite old movies and I loved hearing your personality ❤

Girl this was my movie!

Lol 😆😭 Not her being in the wrong business 🥴. They put my grandmother on sedatives, they didn't want to deal with her, but that made her incontinence worse.

Man I love this movie! Rose was diabolical and I love that for her! 😂 Edit: I also like the comparison of Rose and Mary. How Rose was looking and doing better without Bob and how Mary started to looking exactly how Rose wished her to look while she was dealing with Bob. I always love those small details.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time and I’m so glad to finally see someone talking about it.

Pleasee recap best man , the family that preys, why did i get married.. i just discovered your channel n i can watch this all day literally. Please don’t stop doing these🥰🥰🥰

Classic! I've seen this so many times. Just last week! This movie is so good y'all! Ty!! I'm here for it!

Your commentary is truly enjoyable, you have a beautiful voice and a super clear English . As I am Italian I found it super funny the way you say "ciaooo" because we use ciao the same manner (no just to say hello but to also mean" what a.f "or "bye bye, leave me alone").

This is a classic! Love the reviews!! ❤

I thought this movie was a goddamn fever dream. I remember seeing it on the TV as a kid and I vividly remembered only a few scenes years later. I’ve been trying to find this movie for awhile and FINALLY bruh 👏🏾 😭
