    See Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn as you've never seen them before, enlivening this special-effects laden, extremely dark comedy from Robert Zemeckis. Superbitch actress Streep and ex-heavyweight novelist Hawn are the present and former loves of plastic surgeon-turned-mortician Bruce Willis, whose talents can't compete with eccentric witch Isabella Rossellini's devilish gift of eternal youth. Zemeckis's under-rehearsed direction is at odds with a savagely delicious script and inspired casting: both leading ladies are superbly acerbic as they try to outwit and outbitch each other, while Willis is a pleasant surprise as the put-upon hubby in this quirky but enjoyable oddity.

  • A small comedy overwhelmed by its impressive special effects and suffering from its director's belief that louder and faster is funnier.

    Death becomes her

    Bad acting, or was it meant to be so hammy, played like an am dram production. Watch about 40 minutes before leaving it to read a book.
