Elixir-of-life fantasy about the rivalry between an aging actress and best-selling dietician. There's something Twilight Zone-y about the blend of black comedy and Sunday sermon, as well as about the anecdotal narrative. There is nothing Twilight Zone-y about the Silly Putty special effects -- as costly and seamless as they are stomach-turningly ugly. Meryl Streep hits the ground running in a Broadway song-and-dance number (voice of Streisand, gams of Ann-Margret), and she stays throughout several strides ahead of the rest of the movie. Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, Isabella Rossellini; directed by Robert Zemeckis. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
