About this product
Product Information
Daniel Miller's got it all--great friends, a terrific job, and a brand-new BMW--that is, until he crashes the car into a bus as soon as he drives it off the lot. Daniel finds himself in Judgment City in the afterlife, where the newly dead have five days to defend the way they lived their lives in order to be allowed to move onward instead of going back to earth to live another one. As Daniel reviews his less-than-courageous life, he also enjoys the perks of Judgment City--the Past Lives Pavilion, all the food you can eat without any risk of weight gain--and Julia, the woman he's waited all his life to find. But if he can't prove his life wasn't governed by fear, Daniel has to go back--and Julia seems a shoo-in to move onward. This highly original, touching comedy stars Albert Brooks as Daniel Miller and Meryl Streep as Julia, with hilarious supporting performances by Rip Torn as Daniel's defender, Lee Grant as his prosecutor, and Buck Henry as a taciturn substitute lawyer.Product Identifiers

Just ok
I love the concept of this film and a lot could have been done to make it better. I bought this because I am a fan of Meryl Streep and have never heard of this film. Its very funny in a few parts, entertaining, but not a great film. Perhaps with a different leading man it could have been better, the chemistry between these two just wasn't there.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Defending Your Life is Great
This is a light look at just what happens in "Judgement City" - where all people go as soon as they die. Meryl Streep and Albert Brooks did a good job here. A G-rated movie for the whole family.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
