Summary: Romance, comedy, David Duchovny. . .what more could you want
Review: This film has a perfect blend of romance and comedy. Minnie Driver and David Duchovny make a wonderful screen couple: it was a nice change to see David Duchovny play someone other than Fox Mulder. The supporting cast is hilarious, especially Carol O'Connor, Robert Loggia, and the actors who play Minnie Driver's grandfather, uncle and their friends. They steal every scene they're in. If you liked Runaway Bride or Sleepless in Seattle, you'll like this film.

Summary: Return to Me is a heart-touching movie
Review: This is a delightful movie, the kind of innocent romantic comedy they used to make when Cary Grant was in his heydey and making them. Duchovny plays Bob Rueland, a handsome architect very much in love with his wife. His heart is broken when he loses her in a car accident. He follows her wishes and donates her organs for transplant. The recipient is Minnie Driver's character, spunky Grace Briggs, dying of heart disease far too young. Caroll O'Connor plays her doting grandfather who raised her and Bonnie Hunt, who wrote and directed the film, stars as Grace's best friend. Fate plays a funny trick and Bob and Grace end up meeting. There's an immediate spark between the two -- Duchovny and Driver do a wonderful job with this without going over the top. It isn't until later that Bob and Grace find out that she has his dead wife's heart. The chemistry between Duchovny and Driver is terrific. The supporting cast is also excellent -- a real joy. The end result is a fantastic movie that will actually make you feel good.

Summary: Greatest recent love story with sadness and humor
Review: This movie is a wonderful love story with a small dose of sadness and a great deal of warmth and humor. The supporting cast which includes Carroll O'Connor, Robert Loggia, Bonnie Hunt, James Belushi and others are all wonderful. They give the roles they play great depth and charm. This has a terrific story line and witty dialogue. Bonnie Hunt and the others responsible for making this film should be proud. This movie gives everyone who sees it a warm happy feeling that is not so common for movies these days. There is no gratuitous sex, violence, or swearing. This film should be seen and enjoyed by all.

Summary: Having seen the movie...
Review: I know this is going to be a wonderful video. The movie was a sweet, romantic telling of love lost and suddenly found again. David Duchovny is amazingly perfect in the role of Bob Rueland. He makes you want to see what happens next. You cry with him, you laugh with him... you feel what he is going through. Minnie Driver is a good choice for Gracie. She seems to work well with Duchovny and especially with Bonnie Hunt. If you want a movie that you can watch with your kids, this is it. I took my nephew and my mother and they both loved it. I'm definitely going to add this to my DVD/Video collection and I'm looking forward to Bonnie Hunt's next venture.

Summary: An old time love story
Review: This film instantly became one of my favorites. The cast is wonderful and I feel that Bonnie Hunt did an excellent job, not only being Grace's friend, but as the director,too. From the moment that the film started to the time when I was walking out of the theatre, I had a warm feeling that you can only achieve after seeing a truly magnificant film. However, I think it would have been a bigger blockbuster hit if it had only gotten more publicity. I am glad that they still make old time love stories, even if they are few and in between.

Summary: great sweet movie
Review: One of the extremely few movies, I would say, that both I and a devout Christian would approve of...somehow the movie managed to avoid being maudlin, hokey, boring, or excessively moralizing, yet it was very sweet and mild-mannered. It was a nice change of pace to see two people who, although they have had horrible things happen to them, are themselves not messed up. It was also enjoyable to see people who are not afraid to show their feelings for each other...no mind games here. Another interesting thing is that they don't have sex right away (although you can tell that they are very attracted to each other). Yes, there are really people who do this, however rarely this may be portrayed in Hollywood. Another great aspect is the organ donation detail...maybe this movie will do a small part in getting people to realize how important organ donation is. This is a great "comfort" movie...for when you're not in the mood for an ultra-violent bloodbath like, say "Reservoir Dogs." My husband liked this movie, too--I was surprised.

Summary: Comedy?
Review: As a recent widower I was not prepared for the emotional scenes of the husband dealing with the loss of his wife. I loved the movie however and found the cast delightful. I found it to be more of a drama than a comedy.

Summary: Another of the best of 2000 so far
Review: Another thoroughly excellent movie. This has been a good movie year so far, or else I've just gotten really, really lucky with my choices. Bonnie Hunt wrote, produced, directed, and played a supporting role in this fifties movie translated with a nineties sensibility. Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) is a widower who meets, and immediately falls in love with, Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver), his waitress while he's on a blind date with possibly the most obnoxious woman ever to grace a film screen (played to the hilt by Holly Wortell, last seen <surprise!> in The Bonnie Hunt Show). And yes, I do remember Sandra Bernhard's aborted (thankfully) film career when I say that. Much of the movie's brilliance lies solidly in the fact that it IS a plot, and a pacing, straight out of the days when Jimmy Stewart and Mickey Rooney were playing romantic leads. It won't work if you really can't see Duchovny and Driver dating for so many months without jumping into bed, but both of them are quite capable of pulling it off, and they do with great style. Adding to the atmosphere is a wonderful ensemble cast, with Hunt and James Belushi as Driver's best friends, and Carroll O'Connor as her grandfather, half-owner (with Robert Loggia) of Chicago's only Irish-Italian restaurant. It's wonderful. Go see it. Take female friends if you feel odd walking into a chick flick.
