Pros: Warm and witty, with strong performances Cons: Unsurprising
(This review is a repost of a review I wrote in April 2000, and is an entry in the sleeper54 Re-write Write-off. Thanks to all who read and rated previously. The old review is now history. Like many of my early reviews, I did it in a rush, and before I...
Pros: Well written, well acted, great dialogue, touching story... Cons: ... perhaps the ending does feel just a little rushed...
Return to Me is a lovely romantic comedy starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. Unfortunately it is also a very difficult film to review without giving away major spoilers. The problem is that one of the main aspects of the plot really ...
Pros: Solid romantic comedy--I actually liked Duchovny AND Driver! Cons: Implausibility (isn't always a con), can be depressing
As a longtime X-Files fan, but not necessarily David Duchovny fan, I was semi-interested to see "Return to Me". My wife and I saw it last summer, and really enjoyed it in the theatre, and then bought the DVD for Christmas and just watched it the other...
Pros: Minnie Driver transcends cliche, Duchovny stunned me by being funny and Belushi did too. Cons: You can watch HALF, and you've seen the whole movie.
While Return to Me is certainly better than many of its ilk (Simply Irresistable or You've Got Mail, anyone?), the final result is a movie that's ultimately too predictable and corny for its own good. Despite a wonderful performance...
Pros: The cast and the mingling of characters. Style. Cons: Wacky premise. David Allen Grier's 'strange' character.
Bonnie Hunt is not exactly a name you think of when listing off directors in your mind. Nor is hers a name that pops up when you are thinking of screenplay writers. In fact, if you think of Bonnie Hunt at all, it is probably while going over such...
Pros: A witty script and charming leads keep this from drowning in corny sentiment Cons: The corn is pretty deep
Bonnie Hunt has a sense of humor that’s as dry as the Sahara. She’s always been the best part of films like Jumanji and Beethoven. Her wise-cracking tongue recalls great comediennes of the past like Jean Arthur and Carole Lombard. Now,...
I am back from seeing this movie TWICE at the theatre. This is a rarity for me. I am going to recommend this movie to you the way I would to a friend. I am not going to tell you everything that happens because I do not want to ruin it for you.
Pros: endearing characters, true love, great dialog, good clean fun Cons: i wish i had something to put here
Okay, that was a really macabre joke and I apologize. Honestly. This is one of my favorite films ever, and certainly one of the most romantic and original concepts ever conceived. The Plot Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) finds himself ...
Pros: Heart warming (no pun intended) Cons: Nothing worth writing about
Return to Me is one of the nicest movies I have seen in a long time. I didn't know much about it before viewing, other than a friend had told me I had to watch it. She didn't expound on that.
Pros: I liked the premise; David Duchovny Cons: Needed more development
This movie has such a wonderful, tear-jerker premise that I should have checked my Kleenex supply before putting the disc into the DVD player. What could be better than a hunky guy who loved his wife, is devastated by her death, donates her heart, then...
David Duchovny - Bob Rueland
Minnie Driver - Grace Biggs
David Allen Grier - Charlie Johnson

Pros: well cast and well portrayed Cons: weak plot, too innocent for jaded audiences
Love is many things to many people. To the optimist, Love is patient, kind, eternally innocent, forever unfolding and inextricably bound with Faith, Hope and Fate. To the cynic, love is only an illusion at best. This film is definitely Not for a cynical...
Pros: It is a sweet-natured romantic comedy. Cons: You won't like it if you don't like romantic movies.
There is a certain scene in Bonnie Hunt's directorial debut Return To Me that had me crying pretty heavily. Bob (David Duchovny) is reading a letter sent to him by an anonymous person, who the whole audience knows is Grace (Minnie Driver) She...
