Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Based on a 1981 novel by Warren Adler, The War of the Roses is a (pitch) Black Comedy from 1989, produced by James L. Brooks and directed by (and co-starring) Danny DeVito, about an escalating war over marital assets between wealthy, divorcing spouses Oliver and Barbara Rose (Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner) that gets taken to a ridiculous and tragicomic extreme.The title is a Shout-Out to the English war between the noble houses Lancaster and York. | |

Butt-Monkey: Oliver, while both spouses commit horrific acts upon each other Barbara is clearly more effective and successful in their Escalating War. Pretty much any stand off they have, Oliver is set up so he is clearly on the losing end. | |

Book-Ends: The porcelain figurine that began Oliver and Barbara's relationship is the last thing that they fight over. It ends up smashed to bits by Oliver when Barbara refuses to hand it over to him, even when he was trading her everything else for it. | |

Berserk Button: See Eat the Dog below. Oliver was petty and childish in his half-hearted comebacks to Barbara, and he even tries to make peace after she nearly (and deliberately) kills him in his sauna, but that event was the turning point that made him every bit as destructive as she was. Not to mention leading him to believe she has cooked his dog and fed it to him, at which point he pretty much goes ape shit. | |

All Just a Dream: Implied that the entire story is fake, one that a lawyer tells to convince a client not to divorce his wife. Part of it is that the lawyer has knowledge to events he couldn't possibly have known. | |
