This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blistering performances.

As a horror comedy, this movie is one of the best! However, it's not amazing. First off, I really like the concept of this film. I, also, like how incredibly weird it is. All the actors were well-selected. There is one, major flaw I have with the film: Pointless nudity. It seems to be the filmmakers excuse to make the film have the PG-13 rating on the MPAA. It would have been a fantastic film if it wasn't for the pointless nudity. In the end, Death Becomes Her is a fun, wacky horror film, and I recommend you watch it with an open mind.

"Death Becomes Her" clearly deserved the Oscar it received for best visual effects at the 1993 Academy Awards. I first saw this film in the theater when it came out in 1992. The cast is quite good and there are some very funny scenes. The 180-degree turned head of Meryl Streep's Madeline Ashton was quite a feat, as is the cannon-ball size hole in Goldie Hawn's Helen Sharp. Both are funny scenes. The closing scene with rolling heads is funny as well. Streep is especially good in her comedy role, and Bruce Willis is hilarious in places. He plays a plastic surgeon, Ernest Menville. The movie is a dark comedy with demonic overtones. The violence is done in such a way that the humor in most scenes diminishes it. Still, it's not something for young audiences or fickle people to watch. There may be a small moral lesson in the film, intended or not: "Be careful what you wish for." Or, "An eternity in this life might be more hell on earth than happiness in heaven."

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?

Directed by the amazing Robert Zemeckis, "Death Becomes Her" features a clever script, an awesome cast, and mind-blowing special effects that most Hollywood films lack nowadays. Meryl Streep plays Madeline Ashton, an actress who is obsessed with keeping herself looking young and beautiful. Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn), is a plain looking author with a brilliant surgeon, Dr. Ernest Menville (Bruce Willis), for a fiancé. Madeline and Helen have hated each other for years, but things become even worse when Madeline steals Ernest from Helen and they get married. Years later, Madeline is even more obsessed with keeping her youth, willing to do anything to keep from aging physically. On the other hand, Helen is obsessed to get revenge on Madeline for stealing her fiancé. But it seems that there is one thing in common between the two rivals, in that both seem to know the same woman, Lisle Von Rhoman (Isabella Rossellini).The film revolves around the concept of vanity with the female protagonists looking to get their lives back with simply changing their appearances. Is it a comedy? Yes, "Death Becomes Her" could be called a comedy. But it has a very twisted sort of humor, you'll have to be someone who enjoys all forms of comedy to really enjoy and understand the humor. There is both laugh-out-loud slapstick humor, then there's the dry type of humor which takes a few seconds to really getting you chuckling. But more than anything, the satire and irony of the story is so well embedded into the plot that there's really no specific part you can pinpoint as the funniest part of the movie. Overall, I would recommend this to any one that likes off-beat comedies.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
