High-concept director Robert Zemeckis applies his usual polish -- helped by an equally adept cast -- for this surprisingly gruesome and extremely funny black comedy.

In this darker than dark comedy, the actors (Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn) are used as props, part of Bob Zemeckis' nasty, effects-driven satire of our obsession with youth and physical looks.
manic and crazed, but well-done
Stunningly inventive madness.
Some neat ideas in this flick, all of them way overplayed.
Further evidence that Zemeckis is the anti-Christ
Relies way too much on the FX toys, but there's also some really funny stuff scattered about.
Funny black comedy. Bruce has an affair with Goldie. She plots to kill his wife Meryl. Both women are aging but they discover an immortality potion. Great cast. Great special effects for its day.
