Oscar-winning actresses Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn star with Bruce Willis in Robert Zemeckis’ outrageously entertaining comedy about greed, vanity, sex, immortality, life… and death.

First, there’s actress Madeline Ashton (Streep), who’s gaining more wrinkles than good screen roles. Then, there’s her former friend Helen Sharp (Hawn), who loses her fiancé to Madeline and subsequently doubles her weight. Finally, there’s Madeline’s husband Ernest (Willis), a renowned plastic surgeon who spends his nights drunkenly cursing the day he met his wife.

Enter a beautiful enchantress (Isabella Ressellini) who changes their lives – and deaths – forever. It’s fat-paced romp that blends ground-breaking special effects with hilarious dark comedy in a film the Chicago Tribune calls “diabolically inventive.”
