It looks like this movie has had quite mixed reviews, but personally
I love it! It's outrageous, irreverent and absolutely hilarious. The
special effects are amazing and the gags just keep coming.
There are so many witty lines that it's hard to remember them all.
One of my favourites is when Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn plan
to murder Meryl Streep (who plays Willis' wife). They concoct an
elaborate plot to push her car off Mulholland Drive, but Willis ends
up pushing her down the stairs instead. After the deed is done he
phones Goldie Hawn and breathlessly exclaims, "Helen? I did it!
She's dead, she started shouting at me and I couldn't take it any
more and I pushed her down the stairs and she's dead!" There is
a long pause on the other end of the phone, then Hawn slowly
asks , ". . . which part of the plan didn't you understand?".
Meanwhile, Streep is not dead, but is slowly standing up at the foot
of the stairs with her head on backwards!
Isabella Rosselini is good as the mysterious Lisle von Rhuman
and, at times, looks and sounds uncannily like her mother, Ingrid
Bergman. The film is not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but it's a scream!
