Death Becomes Her - 4 stars out of 5 stars

I do enjoy "black comedies"and this Robert Zemeckis film is the classic love triangle with the added twist of youth envy and a few zigs at LA's preoccupation with it.Meryl Streep,Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis play the classic triangle with Isabella Rossellini as the symbolic devil. My only issue is the lack of a truly good ending.Thus 1 star off.Still,released in 1992 and running 104 minutes,its got pretty good FX and Goldie looks freaky scary at times.If you like these dark comedies,this is your kinda film.Trailer follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.

Helen, a writer, and Madeline, an actress, have hated each other for years. Madeline is married to Ernest, who was once Helen's fiance. After she recovers from a mental breakdown, Helen vows revenge by stealing back Ernest and plotting to kill Madeline. Both rivals have secretly drunk a miracle cure for aging; they accidentally discover, when each tries to eliminate the other, that they have become immortal and that "life" will never be the same again.
