Madeline is married to Ernest, who was once her arch-rival Helen's fiancé. After recovering from a mental breakdown, Helen vows to kill Madeline and steal back Ernest. Unfortunately for everyone, the introduction of a magic potion causes things to be a great deal more complicated than a mere murder plot.

If you loved Death Becomes Her, the closest films we have are Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), Army of Darkness (1992) and An American Werewolf in London (1981). All three share Death Becomes Her's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
