Death Becomes Her (1992)

Thanks for the memories!

How sad is this?

Fantastic!

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The special effects in this movie are beyond spectacular. They're seamless and really make ones jaw drop. Plus, Bruce Willis is hilarious in this. He leaves me with the impression that he had nothing but fun making this film. The double take he does at the opened gun cabinet is absolutely priceless. I've seen this film at least a dozen times and I watch it every time it comes on just because of how fun it is. I see something new in it each time I watch.

Death becomes her is an enchanting take that takes you into the hilarious life's of three vain, narcissistic Californians who all strive for different goals in their lives.Meryl Steep have an Oscar worthy performance as Madeline Aston who's biggest fear is lose her name and youth. When a witch gives her the chance for eternal life she good on board no matter the consequences.Goldie Hawn never looked better and plays the equally dashing Helen looking for revenge in a similar style to episodes of tales from the crypt.All the performances were top notch and with a script this good you couldn't lose no matter how it was cut.What makes it once and a life time film is that the talent that draw you in and make you feel sympathy for a life time wasted on petty life problems that could be solved in a psychiatrist's office in fifteen minutes. In one way or another they are made victims of themselves instead of trying to be happy with who they are.Another warning is at what price are we willing to pay for beauty. Money, our families or your soul? What seems like a dream come true can become an absolute nightmare. Almost like a caution against cosmetic surgery which rights your face and changes the natural form.This isn't really for the regular joes looking a quick laugh. Its set up in macabre dark ways that happen in rotation and I won't spoil for you here. But its worth the price of admission.It will be the most fun you had in ages.

Let me start by saying: Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn, MERYL STREEP. And not just any Meryl Streep, but Meryl Streep playing the part of a washed-up, husband-grubbing actress, which is obviously such a stretch for her that viewers are treated to stunning feats of dramatic fitness. Bruce Willis also impresses in an uncharacteristic role for him -- an alcoholic former plastic surgeon who can't get out from under the thumb of the women in his life.Turns campy and morbid, Death Becomes Her has that Jawbreaker, Drop Dead Gorgeous vibe, but centers on middle aged adults grappling with their imminent decay. Oh, and there's magic.If you're jonesing for slapstick-y dark comedy, this will totally work for you. There are tons of role reversals, undead she-devils and jokes about corpses. The visual effects seemed pretty whatever to me, but I guess they garnered an Academy Award (in '92), so what do I know?

Death becomes her is a very funny movie that has a powerhouse cast. It tells the story of two female friends. Hill (Goldie hawn) brings her boyfriend (Bruce Willis) to a show that her friend Madeline (Meryl Streep) is in, and Bruce Willis is instantly smitten with Madeline. They get married, leaving Hill in complete and utter rage. She becomes obscenely obese and attends therapy at an institution for her issues. Then she hatches a plan that involves Madeline, and that's where our plot begins. The acting is good overall. I loved Streep and Hawn in their roles and they had wonderful on screen chemistry together, their rivalry was very convincing. The dialogue is funny, there are many humorous lines scattered throughout the script. The special effects are very impressive, especially back when this was first released. The movie won a very well deserved academy award for its visual effects. The movie is recommend because of its clever writing, talented acting, and very well done visual effects. Death becomes her gets a 7/10.
