Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
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

Rating:  - liked it, loved it, want some more of it
I always wanted to get this movie but never could find it in stores.
That's one of the many things I love about amazon, I usually can always find exactly what I'm looking for.
Anyways the movie of course. ^^
Its a great comedy, very dark, very elegant, and very disturbing at some points. If your similar to me a normal person and like to collect certain movies like edward scissor hands, beetlejuice, the goonies and such then this one is for your collection! I enjoyed it when I was a kid and enjoy just as much now! Its still got it. Goes to show you how vengefully crazy some people can get, and how very fragile we actually are.
Rating:  - mindless humor
What a perdictable but funny movie in an age where women go to great lenghts for perfection. Enjoyed it with my sisters who are undergoing plastic surgery.
Rating: - Great content/Poor Technically
Great, funny movie with great stars. However, this is only a 4x3 movie (strange since the old laserdisc was letterboxed), with no 5.1 dolby, only dolby surround.
Rating: - A black comedy sure to brighten your day...
My best friend's wife told me about this movie a couple months ago, but it wasn't until the other night that I had a chance to sit down and watch it. I don't know why it took so long for me to actually do since I absolutely adore all three of the films stars. Bruce Willis was for the longest time my favorite actor (I grew up on his macho action films); and seriously, is there any actress as talented as Meryl Streep? Goldie Hawn is a newbie to my list of great actresses, mostly because I never truly have her the time of day until recent years. My wife is a huge fan and so I was forced to accept her and after some time I realized that I had come to really enjoy her and what she brought to each and every role.
`Death Becomes Her' is, as many have noted, a black comedy. It is dark and mysterious and utterly hilarious. At times it is disturbing, at times it is sexy; at all times it is uproarious. The film revolves around two rivals, the successful actress Madeline Ashton and her homely school friend Helen Sharp. Before Helen ties the not with fiancée Earnest Menville she brings him to one of Ashton's shows where he meets and falls for Madeline. After Earnest leaves her for Ashton, Helen slips into depression only to discover a secret that gives her the extra boost she needs in order to exact her revenge against Madeline. The only problem is that Madeline has discovered the same secret; a potion that guarantees them immortality, at a price.
