Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn star with Bruce Willis in Robert Zemekis' outrageously entertaining comedy about greed, vanity, sex, immortality, life...and death.
Isabella Rossellini is a beautiful enchantress who changes their lives--and deaths--froever in this hilarios dark comedy with ground-breaking special effects that the Chicago Tribune calls "diabolically inventive."
Editor's Note
An overweight woman loses her alcoholic plastic surgeon boyfriend to an aging star and immediately doubles her weight. An enchantress puts a spell on the women that makes them immortal -- no matter how dead they get.
Plot Summary
Two women, one an author of beauty books and the other a vain actress, constantly compete with each other over which is the more attractive. So they both can't resist when presented with a magical elixir that promises eternal youth, life and loveliness. They discover, to their dismay, that the fiendish potion has some unexpectedly devastating -- and darkly funny -- effects.
