Trivia:
An edited picture from the original ending was used during Ernest's funeral scene. The picture of him aged was actually a of him in full age makeup from the first ending. 'Bruce Willis (I)''s aged face was used, but put on an actual picture of a mountain climber, which thus resulted in the end picture of Ernest at his funeral. moreGoofs:
Continuity: Helen falls backwards into the fountain after being shot, but gets up from a face-down position. moreSoundtrack:

I love this movie and have watched it more than any other film I own. What makes it for me is the subtle face acting of the two leads whose comic timing is perfect. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn have never been so good (plus this is the only film in which Bruce Willis doesn't do his trademark smirk even once).
Every role is played to perfection and the script is a comedy work of art.
I won't bother defending it to those people who need their jokes hammered home to them by comedy actors whose only way of getting a laugh is to gurn and fart. Each to their own.
