I usually think Hawn is funny, but something about her performance just doesn't work for me in Death Becomes Her. I think many of Streep's line-deliveries are priceless.
I agree that the commentary about Hollywood seems accurate in Postcards from the Edge, but the movie failed to engage me on most levels. The best aspect for me was the relationship between her and her mother because they are the only parts that feel genuine to me.
I like the idea of Death Becomes Her, but it doesn't really come together for me.
For me, with Hawn, it is the looks she gives as well. She makes it appear all so simple and natural, but yes, Streep was great with her line delivery..."I can see right through you". 
Yes, I love the mother\daughter relationship aspect the best, but it was also nice to see Suzanne interacting on a professional level and on a romantic level as well. Her interactions weren't always come easy for her, there were disappointments and admonishments and she was oft reminded by her director Hackman how privileged and spoiled she was. The film grew on me as I got older and I have always loved SD and DBH upon first and repeat viewings.
I actually use to like Death Becomes Her when I was a teenager.
