About Death Becomes Her

Brimming with biting satire, black comedy, and ahead-of-their-time special effects, this camp classic follows two longtime frenemies—fading actress Madeline (Meryl Streep) and writer Helen (Goldie Hawn)—as they fight over a token husband (Bruce Willis), a tonic that provides immortal life and beauty, and most importantly, each other's egos. [104 min; comedy; English]

"An outrageously dark comedy that defies death, laughs at funerals, and lends a whole new meaning to the phrase maintaining one's appearance." — The Seattle Timed

"Irresistibly funny and very well played by Streep, Hawn, and Willis." — San Francisco Chronicle

"Zemeckis has always relished technical challenges; once again he pulls them off with high style." — Newsweek
