Summary: Heart-Warming
Review: Return to Me is a romantic comedy/drama that's a lot more romantic and orginal then the romantic films that do make a lot of money. This is a really sweet film that had me in tears in the beginning "I've been depressed, lol" because it's just sad because his wife was so nice. Plus the fact that her dog wouldn't leave from the front door, waiting for her to get home since she died is pretty touching. Well anyway Duchovny's wife dies and Minnie Driver gets her heart. This could of been a sob fest if it wasn't for all the actor's charms. Which is provided by the late great Carrol O'Connor, David Alan Grier, Bonnie Hunt and James Belushi. Well anyway this is a wonderful film that was overlooked when it came out. It's funny and even sometimes very moving and Duchovny and Driver have great chemestry. If you're looking for a good date flick skip The Wadding Planner and anything with Freddie Prinze Jr. and check out Return to me.

Summary: Superb romantic comedy
Review: This film is one of the best "old-fashioned" romantic comedies to have been made in recent years!. Once you get over the slightly far-fetched set-up for the movie (guy falls in love with woman who has his dead wife's heart!), then just sit back and enjoy. Duchovny is surprisingly good, and Minnie Driver is not only excellent, but incredibly sweet with it, and any guy who thinks otherwise must have a heart of stone!. The supporting cast is also excellent, which includes Bonnie Hunt (who also directed and co-wrote the film), Carroll O'Connor, Robert Loggia and James Belushi - all are great. There's not too much in the way of DVD extra's, though the commentary track is definitely worth a listen.

Along with "Love and Sex", this is one of the most overlooked films from the last few years (in the UK at least). An endearing movie - without being too schmaltzy - this is one that both women and men should check out.

Summary: I'm completely grateful for this film!
Review: This movie...what can I say...it is a treasure. If you would like to experiance a film that makes you feel happy to be alive, it would be this film. This movie is full of intellengent humor, charm, witt, surprises, romance and yes at times tears. I found that I was emotionally drawn to David Duchovny and Minnie Drivers' characters within the first 5 to 10 minutes of this film. I tell EVERYONE to see this film!! Especially those I love. You won't be sorry.

Summary: Buy this movie!
Review: What a great movie! I've watched it over and over. Bonnie Hunt did a great job on this film. She and Jim B. steal the show, watch for all the little comments they make during the movie, rewind if you have to. Carrol O'Conner was the Irish grandfather and it was one of his best performnaces!!! This is great movie to get for the whole family to watch during the holidays, NO violence or sex! Great Film!

Summary: Not just a 'chick flick!'
Review: I LOVE this movie. Why? It makes me feel good. I will admit, I went to see it because of my loyalty to anyone from The X-Files. However, I kind of expected David Duchoveny to... well... maybe not be so great. Boy - was I wrong! I'm not even a huge Minnie Driver fan! But, from the very beginning through the predictable ending - I was hooked! It doesn't matter that you know something is going to go wrong. It doesn't matter that you know the twist before any of the characters figure it out. It's the journey that makes you feel good. And, this movie has the best bunch of supporting actors I've seen since... well... since I saw it the first time!

Summary: One of My New Favorites!
Review: I saw this movie on VHS video a few months ago and fell in love with it. I admit that when I heard what it was about - how Minnie Driver has David Duchovony's dead wife's heart - I was like "oh how dumb!" But the movie is REALLY good. I think one of the best things about it is that Driver and Duchovony have a great chemistry and at the same time it is isn't filled with lovey-dovey crap that makes you wanna throw up. Great comic reliefs in this movie are Bonnie Hunt and James Belushi together as a Catholic married couple with several children. Belushi is hilarious! You will also like Carroll O'Connor (of All in the Family) as Grace's (Minnie Driver's) grandfather. (. . .) You will not be disappointed with this movie!

Summary: A sweet, old-fashioned but modern romantic comedy
Review: This movie was a bit of a box-office flop, but I can't imagine why -- it's sweet, wholesome and funny, to boot.

David Duchovny is Bob, a man who lost his wife in a car accident and is having trouble recovering from his loss. Minnie Driver is Grace, a young woman who recently had a heart transplant; she's never been able to do many things, like dating or traveling. She was raised by her devout grandfather (Carroll O'Connor), who owns an Irish-Italian restaurant, and his equally sweet, elderly cronies. Bonnie Hunt (the director) plays Grace's best friend, Megan, and Jim Belushi is her crude but loving police-officer husband. All of the actors are likable and believable in their roles.

I was especially touched by the unabashed displays of faith: Grace's grandfather says the rosary during her surgery and asks others to. Characters go to church. Megan and her husband have a typically large, boisterous Catholic family.

This movie doesn't have a mean bone in its body. (Do movies have bones? Or bodies?) There isn't a character here you won't like. The humor is sweet and gentle, and your kids can even watch it. (A little kissing is as racy as it gets, though there are a couple of traumatic scenes after Bob's wife dies.)

All in all, this is a '50s romantic comedy in a 2000 skin.
