Death Becomes Her

Another fine special effects smorgashborg from Robert Zemeckis where once again he tries to whack us over the head with a not so subtle moral message. In this case the subject matter would be vanity and aging. Through the use of a magic potion the characters of Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn gain everlasting life, only drawback is they have to live in their own bodies forwever and while they won't age they aren't invincible. Good thing they have Bruce Willis who just so happens to be the best mortician in Hollywood. DEATH BECOMES HER is a fun little film with great performances all around especially by Sydney Pollack who has a fantastic cameo as an ER nurse. Sadly, the CGI dates the film and though it only 15 years old it will show you just how far computer effects have come in such a short time. Still, a fun film and one well worth a second looksee.
