Synopsis:

Kevin Kline, Tracey Ullman, William Hurt, River Phoenix, Joan Plowright, and Keanu Reeves star in this bawdy comedy based on the true story of a woman who tried to kill her husband… four times!

Comedienne Tracey Ullman is Rosalie Boca, the devoted wife of philandering pizza maker Joey. When Rosalie learns that he’s been squeezing more than just tomatoes, her homicidal instincts take over. With the help of a New Age busboy, drug-addled cousins Harlan and Marlon, and her own mother, Rosalie attempts to send Joey to that big bed in the sky.

But love ultimately triumphs in this stranger-than-fiction comedy from the director of The Big Chill and The Accidental Tourist.
