Editorial Review:
ISABELLA ROSSELLINI IS A BEAUTIFUL ENCHANTRESS WHO CHANGES THEIR LIVES AND DEATHS FOREVER IN THIS HILARIOUS DARK COMEDY WITH GROUND BREAKING SPECIAL EFFECTS.
Description of Death Becomes Her:
This 1992 black comedy by Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the Back to the Future trilogy) features some of the most eye-popping special effects of the '90s in its story of a narcissistic star (Meryl Streep) who steals the husband (Bruce Willis) of another woman (Goldie Hawn) and continues her rivalry with her even after death. A magic potion keeps both women going despite the punishment of murderous bullets and fatal plunges, and the joke is that even as they rot they remain vain about appearances. Though he's fashioned a one-note movie, Zemeckis gets a lot of mileage out of such impressive sights as Hawn walking around with a hole in her chest the size of a basketball, and Streep--her head and arms twisted 180 degrees--moving like a broken crab. It's weird, it's sick, it's hilarious, and the stars push the whole project to a classy entertainment. Isabella Rossellini is great as a scantily clad witch who sells the immortality brew. The DVD release has a full-screen presentation, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, optional Spanish subtitles, and Dolby sound. --Tom Keogh
Death Becomes Her Reviews:
Isn't it Time For A Wide-Screen Version? 
2009-08-26 - I love this film, but I don't enjoy watching full screen movies on my wide-screen TV. Some DVD's get reissued every five minutes, while others seem to be forgotten. It can't be because this was a small independent production. Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, have hardly been forgotten. What's the deal?? And what about "Private Benjamin"? Is it a Goldie Hawn thing?

Classic
2009-06-04 - I can't say much that the other reviewers of this film haven't already said. This is a wickedly funny and fantastic movie that is darkly humorous and entertaining, along with a wonderful, positive message (and lessons learned!) Everyone was great in their roles, and the ending just about knocked me out of my seat.
Wicked Funny
2009-05-24 - I've loved this movie for as long as I can remember. Its a very uniques story about what can happen when you can live forever. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep are just amazing. Its laugh out loud funny
Funniest Movie with these two
2009-05-19 - This is one of my all time favorites, the movie is comical, the stars in the film are awesome. This has always been a family favorite and always waited for it to play on cable. Now we have our own copy.
