Bondo anyone?

While stealing a few hours from a Sunday afternoon, Courtney, Bobbie, and I, were making up for last week's missing features. As we fiddled though our Road Runner Cable listings, we came across a rebroadcast of the 1992 hit on HBO:


Once upon a time, there was a woman who was self absorbed and was always scheming to barter a better way to, "Have her cake and eat it too." With her arch enemy breathing down her neck, she succumbs to the pressure for her own desire for perpetual youth. When she's jilted by her young lover, the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" was laid upon her broken youth. In her quest for youth, she ventures to a mysterious home to find a supplement that'll help her aging problems. Once our diva sees first hand what the results can be, she immediately purchases the supplement to turn back the hands of time. Then, the unraveling of her present situation is set on a path that can not be reverted...or derailed.

A great campy comedy accentuated with a witty sarcasm, this picture is still as funny today as when it was released in the early 90's. The C.G.I. execution in this feature was also done so well that-by today's standards-it still looks as fresh as anything that is currently released. A great acting chemistry that follows all of the major actors and actresses can not be denied. Intertwining and aggressively captivating, is the theme of the hilarity for those feature. Once you're in, you're in.

This story is a great accompaniment for other films like; The Twilight Zone, The Witches of Eastwick and even Love Potion #9.

A bountiful 6 out of 10 Proactive bottles is what I feel this movie deserves.
