Death Becomes Her may be crude and tasteless, but it's also irresistibly funny and very well played by Streep, Hawn and Willis -- each of whom suffered career disappointments of late, and each of whom shines in a role that casts them against type. [31 July 1992, p.D1]
As Hollywood experiments go, the new black comedy by Robert Zemeckis has more than its share of witty lines, sight gags and special effects. But even while you're appreciating its better moments, the cast is numbing them with their Arctic charm. [31 July 1992, p.43]
Death Becomes Her is a comedy so dark and disjointed that not even some terrific makeup effects can cover its blemishes. [31 July 1992, p.5]

It's unreal how underrated this film is -- really enjoyed it and like the premise. If anything casting for Streep's character seemed a little wonky to me, but I think the critics were far too harsh on this.

Amazing acting by Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, and Goldie Hawn - they had great rapport in this dark comedy. I really loved the unique story and the special effects were great considering it was the early 90's. You won't be disappointed by this hidden gem!

cult classic. For once a movie Meryl Streep is in it where she doesn’t win an Oscar
