Quote:
Death Becomes Her is a 1992 American dark slapstick screwball comedy fantasy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, and Bruce Willis. The film focuses on a childish pair of rivals who drink a magic potion that promises eternal youth.

However, after they both are killed in their fight for the love of a neurotic mortician, the potion revives them as the undead and they are forced to maintain their deteriorating bodies forever. Death Becomes Her won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Despite mixed reviews, the film was a commercial success.

Oh my god.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

So hilarious, so very underrated.

Terrific acting from the three leads. Streep is fantastic in her diva role and Willis and Hawn are surprisingly hysterical in their nerdier roles, especially Willis. His hair, mustache, and screams are worth the admission alone. Great dark comedy of the 90s. Kind of funny it came out the same year as Forever Young and grossed a little more.

I haven't seen this in forever, but I remember absolutely loving it. I definitely need to re-visit it soon.

Surprisingly funny with great acting from the whole lead cast. I remember liking this as a kid also. The hole in Goldie Hawn is one of the most memorable scenes ever.
