A terrific black comedy that skewers the vanity and lengths people go to staying young. Merle Streep and Goldie Hawn play friends/rivals through life and Ms. Streep steals Bruce Willis's character from Goldie. Goldie goes into a deep depression made better by terrific makeup work. Time passes and Goldie is now slim and successful while Ms. Streep's character is the embodiment of a lot of actresses over 40 heavily plastic and Bruce's character reduced from being a plastic surgeon to a mortician basically who hates his wife..the old rivals meet and as per usual the fighting and competition is on...Watch this movie for the super makeup and terrific performances by ms. streep and bruce willis..goldie is OK and at least we did not have to see too many gratuitous buttshots of her and not hear her annoying laugh....the ending is priceless and a good movie to watch.
