Actor Amy Poehler, known for her role in Parks and Recreation, criticizes the Oscars for neglecting comedy films, labeling the exclusion as "some hot bulls**t".
In cinemas now, "The Roses" is a captivating comedy-drama that delves into the complexities of marriage. The film follows the story of chef Ivy (Colman) and architect Theo (Cumberbatch), a tension-filled marriage that encounters a significant setback when Theo loses his job while Ivy's career flourishes.
The film is an adaptation of Warren Adler's 1981 novel, "The War of the Roses." Directed by Jay Roach, "The Roses" promises to deliver a compelling narrative that blends humour with drama, much like the critically acclaimed comedies that have marked the careers of its stars.
Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch have both made a name for themselves in their respective fields. Colman, known for her roles in "The Crown" and "The Favourite," brings her distinctive charm to the role of Ivy. Cumberbatch, on the other hand, has proven his versatility in roles ranging from Sherlock Holmes to Doctor Strange, showcasing his comedic prowess in "The Roses."
Amy Poehler, a renowned figure in the comedy genre, has expressed her support for the film. Poehler, best known for her work in "Parks and Recreation," "Inside Out," and "Mean Girls," has agreed with Benedict Cumberbatch's sentiment that comedy is a testament to one's ability to handle any role.
Poehler's roles in these critically acclaimed comedies have been instrumental in shaping her career. Her versatility as a comedic actress is evident in her ability to excel in various mediums, including television and film. In fact, "Parks and Recreation," "Inside Out," and "Mean Girls" are noteworthy for their critical acclaim in the comedy genre, and Poehler's involvement in these projects has further solidified her position in the industry.
It's worth noting that the Academy Awards often overlook straight drama, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genres, favouring dark comedies or satirical films. However, "Parks and Recreation," "Inside Out," and "Mean Girls" have received recognition for their comedic elements, and "The Roses" is expected to follow suit.
In a recent interview, Poehler expressed her discontent with the Oscars for not recognising more comedy movies. She joins Cumberbatch in advocating for the appreciation of comedy in filmmaking.
In a unique twist, both Colman and Cumberbatch were guests on Poehler's podcast, "Good Hang with Amy," further highlighting the interconnectedness of their careers.
As "The Roses" hits the silver screen, audiences can look forward to a gripping narrative, brilliant performances, and a blend of humour and drama that is sure to entertain.
