Divorce Texas Style is a 2016 movie that portrays the life of a couple who is going through a messy divorce that has brought out some of their worst sides. The movie is directed by Corbin Bernsen and stars Daniel Baldwin, Melody Moss and Marshall R. Teague. The movie paints a picture of the deep-lying cultural values of the Southern states, where divorce is often considered a taboo. However, the movie breaks these stereotypes by presenting the couple as selfish and uncaring about each other's feelings, leading to the separation.

Chet (Daniel Baldwin) and Carol (Melody Moss) are in the middle of a divorce that is marred by deceit, betrayal and greed. They are both fighting over the custody of their daughter as well as their enormous estate, which puts them in a constant state of conflict.

Chet is portrayed as a selfish and egocentric man who has a gambling problem, which he tries to hide from Carol. On the other hand, Carol is depicted as a materialistic woman who is not interested in raising their daughter herself, but rather hires a nanny to do so. The movie explores how their differences drive them apart and shape their ugly divorce.

The movie is set against the backdrop of Texas, where the couple lives in an affluent neighborhood, surrounded by other wealthy couples. The movie not only delves into the couple's lives, but also provides a glimpse into the lives of their neighbors, revealing that many of them have skeletons in their closets as well.

Throughout the movie, the couple hires expensive lawyers who try to resolve their issues. The presence of their attorneys only fuels the couple's desire to win, leading to a more heated conflict.

As the movie progresses, we see both Chet and Carol becoming increasingly manipulative and deceptive, with each trying to gain an edge over the other. Despite their differences, they both share a strong desire to win, leading them to take extreme measures that ultimately have severe consequences.

The performances by Baldwin, Moss and Teague are commendable, with each actor bringing their own unique nuances and quirks to their respective characters. Baldwin's portrayal of Chet is commendable, as he effectively brings out the character's selfishness and disregard for others. Moss, on the other hand, does an excellent job of depicting Carol as a woman who is driven by material possessions and status, and is willing to do anything to maintain it. Teague, who plays a supporting role as Carol's attorney, provides some much-needed comic relief to the otherwise intense situation.

Overall, Divorce Texas Style is a movie that explores the complexities of relationships and how a couple's desires, fears and ambitions can lead to their downfall. The movie is a must-watch for fans of family dramas and those who enjoy exploring the darker shades of human psychology. The movie successfully breaks down the stereotypes associated with divorce in Southern states and offers a fresh perspective on a subject that is often portrayed in a cliched and hackneyed manner.

Divorce Texas Style is a 2015 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 22 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.4.
