Fallen Living Deads
You can easily guess that a comedy from the 90s directed by Robert Zemeckis (the man behind Back to the Future
and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
among others) and starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis in a sick threesome is terrific! I approve the whole package from the old special effects to the amusing sarcasm. The plot deals with the merciless quest to eternal youth, the end of an actress' reign, plastic surgery tyranny and standradized beauty. In other words, current topics that never grow old. Despite its timeless theme, the storyline is very original. Long-time rivals (Streep and Hawn) have always tried to outdo each other until Madeline (Streep) finds out about an immortality treatment... I like how self-mockery steers the screenplay and how the two main actresses take great delight in underscoring the ridicule of their characters' obsession. No need to tell you that the cast is flawless. Hawn plays her obsessive part so well she scares the crap out of me. Streep rocks it all, as always. And even though she is my grandma's doppelganger (which makes it both awkward and fascinating to watch her movies), she makes me laugh until I choke. Death Becomes Her
is one frantic comedy that can always cheer you up!
