"One Marriage + Two Bosses = 3X the Chaos."

Summary: Two families are united through marriage, with Liam and Melody being destined for each other from a young age. Both struggle to set aside their egos, but over time, their relationship turns into a game—one seemingly playing harder than the other. Will Liam and Melody learn to love and collaborate, or will their actions bring the entire family to ruin?
Review: Ruthless People took me on a rollercoaster ride with its plot! I really enjoyed the sharp banter between the characters and the way it tackled some of life's darker themes with intensity. The ending left me craving more—I wanted to dive deeper into the Callahan family's lives and witness how everything unfolds. I’d definitely invite Liam to my dinner party, but Saige? I’d lock her in a room with a hundred furious trash pandas!
