Synopsis: Defending Your Life (1991)
Synopis: 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.Features: Defending Your Life (1991)

Pure Heaven

One of my favorites!
, October 23, 2001Reviewer: jmdorclm - See all jmdorclm's reviewsThis is one of those films (like Raising Arizona, f'rinstance), that I will watch every time it comes on the tube. The entire Judgement City idea is one of the cleverest things I've ever run across. Besides top performances by Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep, Rip Torn is at his "Larry Sanders" best, plus there are great cameos/short roles by Buck Henry and Shirley McLaine.
You'll laugh. You'll guffaw. You'll chortle. Have some snacks handy - this movie will also make you hungry (food is one theme). BUY THIS!!!! ...
