I had a similar experience with War of the Roses. I knew nothing about it except the main cast, all of whom had starred in Romancing the Stone, so I thought it was a sequel to that movie. Took my fairly new girlfriend to see it. What an absolutely polarizing movie. All the guys were in Douglas's camp; all the women were rooting for Turner. The tension and growing anger in the theater were palpable. We got in our first real fight later that night (the first of many as it turned out - what a bitch she ended up being, but I digress).
Worst date movie ever!
