Reviews for Death Becomes Her
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.
Relies way too much on the FX toys, but there's also some really funny stuff scattered about.
