I saw this for the first time recently. It was a massive flop upon release, but I found it enjoyable in a "guilty pleasure" kind of way. Streep is divine and absolutely hilarious in her Golden Globe-nominated turn - if you're a fan of Death Becomes Her, I think you will like this film. Johnny_HellzapoppinLinda Hunt also has a scene-stealing (if thankless) role as an unwitting accomplice in Roseanne's mission to take Streep and her philandering husband (Ed Begley Jr.) down. Have you seen this? What did you think?  |

Totally awesome. One of my favorite Streep performances. And my favorite performance from nasty mean bitch Roseanne. Reminds me of Waters.

I've seen it a few times, and it is such a fun movie for its time. The cast are all a lot of fun, and it is yet more proof that comedic Streep is a match for dramatic Streep.
If I was to throw some side-eye at it, I do feel it is laughable that anyone is expected to believe that 2 women would get worked up and competitive over Ed Begley Jr., but hey, Hollywood was even more of a mans world back then.

I think it's better than almost every single one of Streep's actual nominations, and if it's not in her top five overall it's pretty damn close.

Honestly ever since I was little I got this confused with Death Becomes Her, so much so that I think the two movies warped themselves into one conglomerate of awfulness.
I would say both warrant a rewatch, but who am I kidding? I watched Set it Up the other night...
