    admirable work
    Maybe, one of the most provocative portraits of obsession about appearances and eternal life. inspired performances, Bruce Willis in a role so far by the well known performances, gags and humor and spiced irony , conflicts and magic. a fairy tale using familiar pieces. in smart manner. that is one of the reasons of freshness for this comedy about women and theirs...desires.
