00:00OK, so 10 things you love about each other.

00:03Theo, you first.

00:04The shape of her head is somewhat pleasing at a distance.

00:09She smells pleasant on occasion.

00:11The Roses is a cautionary tale about romance.

00:15A loser, a wanker.

00:16Number 10, Theo, what a .

00:21That's actually quite funny.

00:22Theo, Rose, falls quickly, lustfully in love with Ivy.

00:28There was love at the beginning, at least.

00:30And it's still there, but it's really being stretched thin.

00:33Theo is an architect, and he has a disaster with a building,

00:37and it collapses along with his ego.

00:40It's not going to fall.

00:40I think it might.

00:42No, stop filming, guys.

00:43So they swap roles.

00:44He looks after the kids.

00:46And Ivy ends up taking over the breadwinner role.

00:50Then she starts to love it.

00:51How was your day?

00:52The neighbor's dog shot in the laundry.

00:54The kids have got knit together.

00:55My left eye's twitching.

00:56More champagne for me, please.

00:58I sense trouble.

00:59I don't think you have the capacity to fix your problems.

01:02Are you actually allowed to say that?

01:05I read the script, and I was like, this is fantastic.

01:08Tony McNamara, who wrote this script,

01:10is kind of reimagining the original film,

01:12The War of the Roses.

01:14No one writes bad behavior like Tony McNamara.

01:16This is the easy bit.

01:17Smother me with a pillow.

01:18Who's it?

01:20Said a little too quickly for my neck.

01:22It's grounded, and it's satirical.

01:24At the same time, it's that beautiful, dry, British wit that only Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch could pull off.

01:33Everybody seems to think we hate each other.

01:35I suppose sometimes I do hate you.

01:37Ah, sporadic hatred.

01:39Olivia Colman, National Treasure.

01:40Put that aside, she's just a lot of fun to work with.

01:44She's just very, hello, hello.

01:45Benedict was an amazing dance partner.

01:47He always does everything better, though.

01:49He always says everything better.

01:50I'm going to leave some long pauses in the conversation for you to insert an apology.

01:55I'm so sorry.

01:56My deepest regrets are...

01:58Banter was a whole other level, and it was a dream supporting cast.

02:03You guys are so cute.

02:05Like a sack of kittens.

02:07Near a rushing river.

02:09I don't get that.

02:12Some people side a little more with Ivy, and some people actually side with Theo,

02:17and they sometimes change during the course of the film,

02:19and then all you can do is just root for them to figure it out.

02:22It's fun behaving badly.

02:23It really is.

02:24Things are getting a little out of hand.
