i never saw death become her when it first come out because of a review i have read somewhere . the review be dismissive and make a lot of sense and so i decide to give it a miss . what a terrible mistake . this be a movie i would love to see on a big screen . the script be so brilliantly clever . disguise a a silly comedy there be a world of serious theme execute by a knowing cast . meryl streep in particular and play convincingly an actress without talent . i remember the bad review criticize the writer for set the story in a rainy and stormy los angeles when california be go through a drought . imagine if a comedy about magic potion should worry about the accuracy of the weather . in fact the los angeles of death become her feel more like los angelers than most realistic movie and it do it with nerve and wit . in 12 year in los angeles have you ever see a neighbor . scream meryl to his mousy bruce . an absolute delight . other hidden treasure be a cameo from sidney pollack and a very funny and very sexy 76 year old isabella rossellini . a new cult classic and a total must .
