My mom loved this movie, how about yours?
My mom absolutely loved this movie (she also looks quite a bit like Roseanne Barr). I remember this being on her regular rotation as a kid. I also remember that I didn't mind the movie either and found it to be kinda funny. I think it made my dad very nervous though, like he needed to be on good behaviour or he was going to end up on the other end.

Oh I loved the mini series with Julie T Wallace and Patricia Hodge.

My mom went on a Patrick Swayze binge. Dirty Dancing and Ghost i can never watch again. I swear she was like a toddler watching those movies over and over. We'd hide in our room, or else we'd get stuck rewinding the VHS while she vegged out on the couch.

She looks like a blonde vamped up Carrie Ann Moss.

Definitely. I warrants a rewatch now that I'm a middle aged mom.

I also loved this movie, I would watch it constantly when I was 10/11 years old. Revenge stories are fun

Yep. I recall watching it in the living room while my mom and dad had it on TV.

I dreamed of growing up to become Mary Fisher. Writing romance novels, big pink mansion by the sea, cute dog and butler combo... elderly mother drugged up in a retirement home. Ugh, sounds amazing.

I love this movie when I was little! I still think about the pool that Meryl Streep has in the movie.  Ooh and that scene with the pastries! The pastries looked delicious!

This movie is hilarious and a gay cult classic. I'd marathon this with Death Becomes Her.

Yes! Death becomes her!  I had no idea. It was a gay classic though. Sounds like a fun watch party.

I watched this yesterday and usually watch a few times a year. Meryl is so funny in this. When she finally cracks and goes “I’m taking back control of my life, BOB!” I crack up.

Lol, my mother bought this videotape for us from Errol's rental one year without ever watching it. That was a weird movie to watch as a child, but it was one of a handful we had in the drawer in the 80s, and so it was watched on repeat.  https://i.redd.it/80su90pmul0h1.gif

“Up with this bullshit I will not put!” Was my favorite line from the housekeeper.

The scene where the housekeeper quits and Meryl Streep hugs her legs is freaking classic.

Death Becomes Her, First Wives Club and Medicine Man were my mom's top 3. We watched a lot of Star Trek Next Generation too.

This movie is a snooze in the middle with the temp agency but it's worth it for Meryl. The gummi bear in her hair kills me. Kind of a precursor to her role in Death Becomes Her.

Absolutely! I can still remember us renting it when it was a new release.
