Plot
A cunning and resourceful housewife vows revenge on her husband when he begins an affair with a wealthy romance novelist.
Sinekatalog’s take
A cartoonish revenge comedy in which a wronged wife methodically dismantles the lives of those who humiliated her. The tone is broad and uneven, but the leads relish their roles. Best for those who like their satire loud and campy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
