Am really surprised at how supportive the mother-in-law is in this movie, that's very unusual for a movie made in 1989. Definitely reflects a female director, anyone else would've used the classic trope of the judgmental, spiteful mother-in-law but this actress is trying to empathize with Roseanne's character at least.

[huckthecoonhound]

Bob takes after his dad, neither one of them got up to help Ruth when she fell. What jerks.

[StIwY]

This movie is a gem. Genuine, also, a part of my childhood. Greetings from Italy

[normacastro]

Her mother in law is very kind and decent to her.

[lollipopsnsugarsmiles]

Poor Ruth! She did her best and it just wasn't good enough for that cheating bastard! She cooked, cleaned, took care of the kids, busted her ass cooking Bobs favorite The gerbil thing was a complete accident! She may have been frumpy and overweight but she did the best she could!

[letolethe]

They're all so mean to Ruth. That is so painful, to twist your ankle. He doesn't care at all.

[psychoboysaz]

"I'll go get a strainer." LOL. I love Roseanne.

[traxagenda]

2:14 *He took that belt off so quick though*
🤣 🤣

[rosered]

Look @ how fast he pulls that belt out always gives me the giggles 2:15 mark

[thisguyhere]

That dinner was as much of a disaster as Mary Fisher's "Love in a Rinse Cycle!" #LOL

[JBomb]

That sound effect of her heel (shoe) when her ankle twisted lol...

[DavidKen]

0:27 - "Whats the matter with that woman? Clumsier than an ox." 😂😂

[kbens]

The dad in the background is hilarious

[awhitershadeofpail]

0:13 one of the funniest scenes in the film - and also when she torches the house.

[natalieann]

Why were Mary and Ruth fighting over Bob? He was a Douche!

[antmagor]

If I were Ruth I would’ve gone upstairs and packed my suitcase just to deny him the pleasure of walking out.

[jordanthomas]

2:24 Come on, Brenda.
We’ll eat out.
Oh, that’s a good idea, since half your dinner’s on the Goddamn floor!

[andrewcolinwilson]

Ruth told Bob's parents on him for having an affair with Mary Fisher and he deserved it.

[erinbroderick]

Lmao the camp of that hamster in the soup. Hysterical.

[zombienattalee]

I would of knocked the crap out of my son for talking to his wife like that especially in front of the kids.
