Quote: "Drink that potion, and you'll never grow even one day older. Don't drink it, and continue to watch yourself rot."

The story of Hollywood, but in a darker sense. We meet aging movie star Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) and aging writer Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn) who when young and beautiful fought over a meek plastic surgeon Ernest (Bruce Willis). Now, older and wrinkled, both take a magic potion to make themselves young and sexy forever. But when they start killing themselves for Ernest, they don't know that the potion has a sign affect. No matter what...you cannot die.

OSCAR winner for Best Visual Effects.
