Summary: Good comedy!
Review: I enjoyed this movie. This could easily be compared to the romance of "Sabrina" and "While You Were Sleeping" in regards to two people who unexpectedly fall in love. A movie like this doesn't work often but this one does. The movie does start off somewhat serious but as the movie plays along, events and situations become comical and lighthearted as they go, making this one a watcher, again and again.

Summary: So Warm and Charming...
Review: At first glance this appears to be another run of the mill romantic comedy, but it is oh so much more. David Duchovny is Bob Rueland a doting and affible husband, Grace (Minnie Driver) is in desperate need of a heart. Well as fate would have it, Bob's wife is seriously injured and her heart is given to Grace. Unbeknowst to each other, the two meet up a year later and begin a whirlwind romance. Although the premise may seem a bit far fetched, Bonnie Hunt Director/Co-Star pulls it off with great finesse. David Duchovny is utterly charming and Minnie Driver is wonderfully sweet without having that disgustingly overdone wholesome feel. The two are so believable you can't help but love it. The supporting cast really completes this whole picture, James Belushi as Hunt's well-meaning but blundering husband, Robert Loggia as Grace's uncle is magnificent, and Carrol O'Conner is fantastic as Grace's over-protective Grandfather. I honestly didn't expect to like this as much as I did. The only reason I watched it was because my friend said it was great. Well I am throughly glad I did.

Summary: Surprisingly Good Little Movie
Review: I didn't quite know what to expect from this movie. What I got was something quite surprising and pleasing. David Duchovny stars as an architect whose wife is killed in a car accident. Minnie Driver is a waitress at her family's restaraunt who gets Duchovny's wife's heart. The two meet and romance blossoms. The two then learn that she has the heart of his deceased wife and..well, I won't tell you. You'll have to see it. This is a sweet and pretty charming movie. I have to admit it. Duchovny shows that there is life for him after "The X Files". The two best parts about this film are the group of guys that hang out in the restaraunt. Carroll 'o' Connor and Robert Loggia among them. They are very good. The other best part is co-writer and director Bonnie Hunt(who is always a delight) and Jim Belushi as the married couple friends to Minnie Driver. I'm not a fan of Ms. Driver's, and this film doesn't change that. She is decent, I guess. David Alan Grier is pretty much wasted in a nothing role as Duchovny's best friend. Return To Me is a nice, lighthearted romantic comedy. Check it out.

Summary: A perfect movie
Review: Return to Me is one of my top ten movies. It does everything perfectly. It is sappy enough to make you cry and fall in love, and yet realistic enough to be believable. It has the perfect amount of humor, as well. The characters seem real and very human. A great date movie. A must see!!!

Summary: This was a romantic comedy???
Review: This movie was billed as a romantic comedy, but turns out that the first half hour of the movie is a big unexpected tragedy as David Duchoveney's wife dies from a car accident after being rushed to the hospital. His wife was an organ donor, so all of her organs went to help others. At the same hospital there was also a girl that needed a heart transplant, and she had gotten the heart of David's wife. Eventually the two cross paths several times, David not knowing she had a heart transplant, and the recipient played by Minnie Driver did not know it was the heart of David's wife. They cross paths several times, but still just miss each other adding to the comedy and suspense, then when they finally meet, they begin to date and at the end Minnie Driver discovers that her heart is from David's wife and now must tell David. I will save the ending for those of you who watch it.

Summary: Bonnie Hunt will be the next Frank Capra!!
Review: This was a great movie, not because it had tremendous special effects or extravagant sets or more car chases than Eat My Dust [a movie without a plot], but because Bonnie Hunt and the other writers captured the essence of real people. No over-acting here, just simple, quiet reality. A nationally-known reviewer commented on the men's poker group in this picture, saying it was a waste of time, but he was wrong. It just made this a more real place, with real people like your uncles or a friend's father or the guys who hang around your local convenience store. The love story is also more like real life than the wild things that go on in too many movies.
I put "Return to Me" right up there with "It's a Wonderful Life" and other movies of the golden era of Hollywood. Glad to see that, because of Bonnie Hunt, there's still some sparkle left in Tinseltown. I HIGHLY recommend this film. Don't put it off, watch it today!!

Summary: Very Weird
Review: This movie is a cute romantic comedy starring Bob(David Duchovny) and Grace(Minnie Driver). One night as Bob goes to his wife(who by the way is a zoologist or animal doctor)'s seminar and is returning home, he has a collision. Immediately, it cuts to a scene where Bob and the doctors are wheeling away his wife into the Emergency Room. Bob, with his blood-stained shirt and no injuries to speak of, finds out his wife has died. Then we flip to a scene where Grace is in treatment waiting for a heart. She conviently gets Bob's wife that very night. Bob is in a state of depression and anxiety and goes to his work(sometype of construction business) tired and angry. I didn't like the beginning of this movie very much because it was sad and awkward. Bob and Grace then go through the usual kinda funny bad dates scheme until they magically meet each other at an Irish Bar. The rest of the world seems angry at Grace while Bob and Grace have a magical bond, however. Bob forgets his cell phone at the bar and is forced to go back there and retrieve it and is forced into one of those old men poker groups. So he is placed into a sterotypical Old man poker group where supposedly all old men do is talk about old stuff and play poker. I myself that's insulting old people. Also, the old people in this movie are too nice and accepting. Well, he meets Grace while covering a plant, and he figures out everything. I was waiting for Minnie Driver to just say,"I have your dead wife's heart man." Talk about weird. I won't tell you the ending because that would ruin the movie. But if you're thinking how I'm thinking how the Hallmark Shop saleswomen were thinking, you'll know how the movie ends. The movie provides pretty good acting from Jim Belushi as well as David Duchovny. Minnie Driver and Carrol O' Connor were okay actors and actresses. All in all, this movie didn't appeal to me because it depressed me, but it had okay acting.

Summary: At first, I was skeptical!
Review: Before this movie I wasn't particularly a big fan of David Duchovny or Minnie Driver, but I have always been a huge fan of the multi-talented Bonnie Hunt. To my pleasant surprise, Duchovny and Driver soar in this movie with performances that are truthful, endearing, and in the end, so good, they make the film work on multiple levels. (So now I need to see their other movies!) The oh-so-talented Hunt writes, directs, and acts in this wonderful story about people you wish you knew. To me the mark of a great film is one that is inhabited by characters you root for, that you love and that you hope make it through whatever they're enduring. In short it has characters you care for, and in this aspect "Return to Me" is a perfect ten. I thought I would never see this film--now it's one of my favorites of recent years. Carol O'Connor, Robert Loggia, Jim Belushi and a host of solid supporting actors/characters add to the joy that makes "Return to Me" such a gem. This DVD-version ranks among our family's favorite nights in front of the screen! (By the way, I'd buy this DVD just for the music video "What if I Loved You", by Joey Giam. Who is this guy, and when is he going to cut the greatest album of big band music since Sinatra?! This video is full of the joy of music!)

Summary: GREAT
Review: This film is great!!!!! Return to Me is one of the best love stories you will ever see in cinema. It reminds you of the old 40's & 50's romance films. David Duchovny does a great job in this film, but what really stands out are the performances by Minnie Driver, Carroll O' Connor, Robert Loggia, Bonnie Hunt, and James Belushi. All of the performances were written and acted well. Driver and duchovny really have great chemistry. Carroll O' Connor really deserved a Oscar nomination for his performance as Grace's grandfather. The DVD has a great commentary track from Bonnie Hunt, who did a great job at writing, acting, and directing this film. This film is a truly great love story. Everyone must see this wonderful film!
