A Good Marriage is the first page-to-screen adaptation of King's work that he's adapted himself since Pet Sematary, and the horror master keeps the details of his characters' idiosyncrasies high (Bob prefers finding rare pennies in his change to paying for them Darcy has a thing for eating Tootsie Rolls Bob leaves little notes for Darcy tucked around the house), so the marriage feels realistic and satisfying - that is, until Darcy figures out that her beloved is a wanted serial killer. Most of the movie is just OK, not get-under-your-skin scary ( The Shining, Carrie) or unforgettable ( The Green Mile and Shawshank). Will Darcy agree to keep her husband's horrifying secret or take matters into her own hands? Show more

When Bob returns home early and finds out that Darcy knows the truth, he confesses but then threatens her and convinces her to keep quiet - if not for them, then for the 'safety' of their kids. The next day, Bob leaves on a business trip (he's also an accountant), and Darcy finds something extremely disturbing hidden in her garage: a trinket box holding the driver's license of a woman who had just been in the news for being brutally raped and murdered by a suspected serial killer called 'Beadie.' After Googling everything about Beadie, Darcy goes to bed devastated with the knowledge that her husband is most probably a killer. On their 25th anniversary, Bob gives Darcy a pair of gold fish earrings, claiming it's because she's a Pisces. STEPHEN KING'S A GOOD MARRIAGE is the adaptation of King's novella about Bob and Darcy Anderson ( Anthony LaPaglia and Joan Allen), a 50-something couple that, on the surface, has everything going for them: two successful adult kids, a thriving rare coin business, and a stellar reputation in their Maine community.
