(1989)Directed by Danny DeVito116 min · RComedy, Drama
“Once in a lifetime comes a motion picture that makes you feel like falling in love all over again. This is not that movie.”

Then Barbara looks at her life without Oliver and finds she likes it, and neither of them will agree to leave the house. Danny DeVito also plays their divorce lawyer, D'Amato, who sits between them as they fight over every possession, and the house itself is what's at stake.
