Death Becomes Her

Adoro questo film. Ironia cinica e attori fantastici. Un classico degli anni 90. La versione italiana non esiste quindi ho comprato questa che ha comunque il doppiaggio e sottotitoli in italiano.

My favorite movie

Great movie

This is a very unusual but hilarious dig at the culture of beauty, all very well played. Meryl Streep plays an actress seeking to play young parts, but alas, she is getting older and her audiences are dwindling. As she goes to the beauty salon, she demands to know if there is anything that they can do beyond what they have already done. The stylist finally hands her a card and tells her that it is to something very exclusive and secret. She doesnt believe it of course and goes about her life which is rapidly spiraling downward. her husband is drinking heavily, her boyfriend is seeking lovers his own age, but the straw that decides her course is the book party she has been invited to, and she sees her old friend slash rival, once an overweight loser, now a svelte young stunner, with emphasis on young. Naturally, she seeks to know just what her secret is, and discovers the card she was given leads to a huge sprawling mansion and a mysterious young woman with an elixir that grants eternal youth to any who drink it. This however, leads to a huge problem. She finds life is indeed eternal and when an accident on a staircase fails to kill her, even though she is officially dead. When she tries to kill her rival, who is seeking to run off with her husband, she discovers that she too is also in the same condition, and that eventually leads her to join forces in order to keep themselves together. When they try to give the potion to Meryls husband, he refuses and finally makes his escape from them both when he learns why they wanted to keep him around. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are a tour de force together, but Bruce Willis has an unusual role as the weak willed plastic surgeon Dr. Menville, the milquetoast husband to Streep. This is a brilliant dark comedy.

Favorite dark comedy, looks great on Blue-Ray!! Its like watching for first time, only better.

One of my favorite films!! I cannot believe that this film bombed!! It is SO good!! Surprisingly, Streep gives a great comedic performance!! When shes being examined in the ER, just classic!!!

Great DVD movie

I love this film. The bluray transfer is terrific. The only things that were disappointing were the rather abrupt manner in which the doco ends and the missing deleted scenes with Tracy Ullmann. Aside from that its great. I love that its finally available in widescreen. Hadnt seen it in that format since I watched my old laserdisc over a decade ago.

Good funny movie made us all laugh...a must see.
