The devil you say.

Bob Patchett (Ed Begley Jr.) is just a typical financial adviser. So naturally, he wants a wife to match; he turns down his ugly, clumsy, unfeeling, existing wife, Ruth (Rosanne), for a more useful one that is a novelist, Mary Fisher (Meryl Streep) What should be happy ever after the story for the new couple turns into a nightmare? Looks like Ruth intends to get more than even; she finds out his values in order of priority (home, family, career, and freedom). Then she commits her life to removing his assets in that order. Her unique approach to the task is what makes the story. However, it is the action and reaction of the people that will hold your attention. Will the task be accomplished? The result may surprise you. Ed Begley Jr. makes a good Bob, falling into every trap set and suffering the consequences. See him again in “Meet the Applegates” (1990). Only this time, the bugs (Ed Begley Jr. is one) are set on revenge or at least survival, which means removing humans.
