Wrinkle, wrinkle, little star.

Death Becomes Her — 3.5/5

A good set-up that would rather be fun than truly lean into the satirical possibilities. It's weird—it's a girl's movie with a boy's movie sensibilities, and can't bring those two audiences together. Tabloid headlines! Fun visual effects! Beauty standards! Body horror! Pay no mind to the social commentary behind the curtain. It's a date movie for men and women who have nothing in common. It has potential to say a lot, but would rather settle for just doing a lot. For what it is, it's fun. It's only that it could be more. Somebody remake this.
