Defending Your Life is a comedy starring Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep, Rip Torn and Shirley McClain among others about a man who has died in a car accident and has to cope with his feelings before he can ascend to a different, and possibly better, life. Things are complicated when characters come and go, past lives are revealed, and more of Albert Brooks' existence is scrutinized. Strange and sometimes uneven, Defending Your Life tries to bring Woody Allen-style humor to a tricky script.

Continuity mistake: When Daniel and Julia visit the Past Lives Pavilion, they show everyone coming in to where the booths are in a single line. The PA announcement tells them to take the first available booth on the left, yet they all walk to the end of the row and THEN pick a booth.

Daniel Miller: Y'know if you really wanna make this place feel like Earth, you should open a few of those mini-malls.
Helen: It's funny you should say that - a few just opened outside of town. Personally, I wouldn't use them because I don't like yogurt and I love doing my own nails.
