Death Becomes Her is a bizarrely delightful film with a solid cast that wonderfully shows the vapidness of aging film stars. For some reason I've yet to figure out, I always enjoyed this movie as a child, which is kind of weird. It's strange to see Meryl Streep playing a bad actress and it's even weirder to see Bruce Willis not phoning in his performance. With a story that gets stranger and stranger with each viewing, Death Becomes Her is an enjoyable film that shows the consequences of jealousy and vanity.
