Summary: Return To Me
Review: This is definitely a 4 or 5 star. (I gave it 5). Its a great love story of a different sort. The story was well written and meaningful since both starring actors deal with life and death situations which makes them appreciate each other all the more as well as adding a real and believable quality to their characters. Aside from the great and believable performances by both Minnie Driver and David Duchovny, their friends provide comic relief when things start to get too serious -James Belushi (I believe) as well and a roundtable of recognizable old guys (from other movies). They constantly try to set up Minnie and manage to balance the seriousness of the movie with a health dose of comedy. This is a must see for people who like good love stories and romance/comedys.

Summary: Good Movie - Don't Miss Audio Commentary
Review: "Return To Me" is a very likeable romantic comedy starring David Duchovny, breaking away from X-Files mold, and the always engaging Minnie Driver. While we wait for kismet to bring these two characters together, we are treated to a fine (and impressive) supporting cast of characters head by Carroll O'Connor, Robert Loggia, David Alan Grier, James Belushi, and writer-director Bonnie Hunt. There is little suspense that the two main characters will find each other and in the end find new life and love -- but this is the movies after all!For DVD buyers and renters, the true gem is the audio commentary by Bonnie Hunt and co-writer Don Lake. This highly recommended bonus to the DVD version is at least worth another "star." Hunt, who is one of the best interviewees on talk shows, engages in a informative and a very humorous dialogue with Lake throughout the movie. By all means, after watching the movie go back and watch the movie again with Hunt and Lake. Hunt's dry humor will make you laugh out loud at times as she speaks of her bad make-up job in her first scene to the seemingly dozens of family members that she placed throughout the film. You will also get a real appreciation for the art of film-making. "Return To Me" was Hunt's directorial debut and it is fascinating to listen to the care and meticulous detail that she placed into this film (music selections, editing, etc.). It is definitely one of the best audio-commentary tracks that I have heard to date and almost makes you even like the film more.

Summary: Duchovny is the worst actor on the screen today...
Review: The movie was a fairly well made movie. The story was very creative and sweet. HOWEVER: I am now convinced that David Duchovny is the WORST actor on the screen today (Please understand that I am a HUGE fan of his X-Files work). He will never shake the "Agent Mulder" vibe (I now realize he is a one dimensional actor). The rest of the acting was very good, but is almost neutralized by Duchovny. There is absoloutely NO ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY between Minnie Driver and Duchovny. Quite simply put: Duchovny is sole reason I gave this movie "2 Stars" instead of "3".

Summary: "Return to Me" joins my Top 10 List
Review: What can I say, I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I hardly ever pay to see movies in the theater and I went to see this one 3 times. What a heartwarming tale...my husband even had to wipe his eyes with his shirtsleeve! It was wonderful to see the older family members take a front seat in this film (besides, I am a huge Carroll O'Connor fan), and the love that surrounds the couple right from the start is amazing. The chemistry among the entire cast is great, I highly recommend it! But...make sure you have kleenex handy!

Review: Ya know how sometimes a little known movie just gets to ya? This wonderful love story did just that. A perfect blend of generations helping each other live, love and laugh--and a few tears too. This is a twist on boy meets girl that will get your hankie twisting.

Summary: Very cool
Review: 'Return to Me' is an awesome movie. I first saw it in May for my 15th birthday, and loved it! I've been waiting 6 LONG months for it to come out on video, and finally it did!! I've seen it countless times since then. David Duchovny and Minnie Driver make a delightful couple in this movie. I loved how the odd turn of events somehow managed to lead them to each other. James Belushi, in addition to Carroll O'Connor and Robert Loggia make this movie just that much better. Kudos to Bonnie Hunt... The movie touches my heart, and my funnybone!

Summary: What a pleasant surprise!
Review: I noticed the DVD on the shelf at the store,but passwed over it. Then I saw an "Intimate Portraits" episode on Minnie Driver on Lifetime and recognized the film title. I bought it, put it in and was instantly engaged. This is a sweet, romantic film. I thoroughy enjoyed it from the opening credits all the way through the end credits. Its all about love, family, and a little destiny. The family support (Megan, Joe, Marty, Angelo, et al )in this film was so wonderful and supportive. The characters of Bob and Grace, stepping out of their respective "safe zones" were so engaging, sweet, and funny. I laughed throughout, pulled the kleenex out in the beginning, middle, and end and was ready to start watching again. Bonnie Hunt has captured a piece of the heart in this movie. This is one I am recommending to my sisters and friends and will be watching again!

Summary: Return to Me is a Spectacular Love Story
Review: How can I find the words to describe how much I love this movie? I'll try. I have to say thank you to Bonnie Hunt and all of TPTB for making a movie I can see with my parents and my grandparents without getting embarassed. There are so many movies out these days that I can't watch with them without my face turning red. This film was a perfect example that movies can be entertaining without being graphically sexual or violent. I am going to film school with the goal of making movies of a "good" or "family" nature, and this film was truly an inspiration. It is witty. It is romantic. It is heartbreaking. I love the fact that it allows the audience to fall in love with Elizabeth and then fall in love with Grace, too. There is nothing making either one of Bob's loves better than the other. That's the way life normally is. Great job. As an avid "X-Files" fan, I was a bit wary when I went into the theater as to how I could watch David Duchovny in another role. Much to my glee, I had no problem. The scene with the dog in front of the door breaks my heart everytime I watch it. Excellent job. Minnie Driver remains one of my fave actresses to this day. Helen Hunt and Mr. Belushi just cracked me up everytime they were onscreen. And, what else can I say, Carroll O'Connor and his crew were splendid. Of course, we can't forget Sydney either :) Thanks to everyone involved for making such a heartwarming film. I can't wait until it comes out on video to sell. :)

Summary: You can't help but love this movie...
Review: 'Return to Me' never fails to put a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. It is so well acted, written, filmed... you get drawn into the world these characters live in and at the end feel reluctant to leave. This movie is very real, and it puts you through an emotional rollar coaster. You are grinning happily one minute, and sobbing the next... just to get picked right back up. Its a movie that anyone can watch. Young, old or in between... everyone will enjoy it. You just don't find movies like this any more. Its one the whole family can sit down and watch together.
