Rating: Summary: Well worth buying Review: An excellent fantastic comedy with never a dull moment and little known in Europe ( in France at least ). The music is beautiful and the sound quality of the DVD superb. Picture quality is good but film is in widescreen so doesn't fill your whole tv screen. One would have wanted more different language tracks and subtitles than those provided but I suspect the film is destined for an American and not European audience. Anyway, I loved it and could watch it again and again. Resembles in some ways "Ghost Dad" and Heaven Can Wait - Version 2 ( W Beatty )
Rating: Summary: Heart and Souls Review: An excellent movie, entertaining, funny and heartful! This movie, although a comedy, touches deeper issues of the heart that are like a rich tapestry of what is good in man. Very colorful and excellent acting from every one. Something to watch over and over again.
Rating: Summary: Where else can you find five happy endings in one movie? Review: Despite his recent problems with the law, Robert Downey, Jr. proves that he can be one of Hollywood's greatest actors when given the right screenplay and the correct frame of mind. This touching comedy displays some of Downey's best work. The range of his acting abilities takes center stage when he becomes inhabited by some "friendly ghosts".If you're the type that liked "Sleepless in Seattle", you won't be disappointed with this selection. END
Rating: Summary: Every emotion in just one movie! Review: First off, oh my goodness! Let me just say that I absouloutley LOVED this movie! At first, when my mom told me that we were going to rent it and told me the name, I was like "'Heart and Souls?' Sounds pretty dumb to me, probably the typical romantic comedy, I'll hate it," and then I watched it! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen! I laughed, I cried, I jumped for joy, it was an all over fantastical film! Robert Downey Jr. gives and excellent performane (as always, and Alfre Woodard and the rest of the cast just dazzles! One of my favorite parts (and one of the funniest) is where Downey's character is dancing down the middle of the street with the ghosts (Kyra Sedgwick, Charles Grodin, Alfre Woodard, Tom Sizemore) singing "Walk Like a Man." It would be strange to see, conisdering that the only one who can see that ghosts are Downey himself, so all the rest of the world would see would be one crazy man walking down a street singing to himself! Oh, this movie is definitley in my favorites collection! I'll never get tired of it! :) Buy it, rent it, just watch it! You won't be disappointed!

Rating: Summary: Good Family Movie Review: Heart and Souls is a charming movie about second chances and friendship that instantly endears itself to any viewer. Robert Downey Jr. gives an excellent performance that is both comical and dramatic at the appropriate moments. I would reccomend this movie to anyone who believes in love and eternal friendship.
Rating: Summary: A step beyond the line. Review: Heart and Souls is a simple story of "the great beyond" and the posablity that crossing over may not be some great leap,but only a short step.The cast is very good and they play well off each other.It`s a fun watch.
Rating: Summary: Definitely a Five Star Movie Review: I absolutely loved this movie. I first saw it when my grandmother brought it over from my cousin's house, where she was staying at the time. I was a little hesitant to watch it at first. As a matter of fact, when I looked at the back and saw the dancing people, I actually thought it was a musical!! Now this movie is among my favorites of all time. Robert Downey Jr. is a great comedian and one of my favorite actors. I rewind back to see the group of friends singing "Walk Like A Man" over and over. My favorite ghost is Milo. Tom Sizemore is very charismatic, and he shouldn't have taken so many serious parts (in Bringing Out the Dead and Red Planet) afterwards. Or I guess I should say "parts in serious movies" because his character in Bringing Out the Dead wasn't that bad and I haven't seen Red Planet. But the long and short of it is, rent the movie. It's hilarious, wonderful, and inspirational, and I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: LOVE THE MOVIE Review: I am only giving this DVD a 3 star rating not for the content of the MOVIE but the encoding. Very poor quality, there are 'artifacts' throughout due to the poor job they did. I LOVE the movie itself.....Get the VHS if you get it (which I hate to say because VHS blows)
Rating: Summary: One of my all-time favorite movies Review: I can't remember when I first saw this movie, but I absolutely loved it from the moment I did. I recall that just left the city (San Francisco) and the fact that this movie takes place there had that going for it from the start.
The second was Robert Downey, Jr. Say what you will, he's always been one of my favorite actors and he is immensely talented. Troubled, certainly, but judge not, etc. I don't particularly want to become mired in the personal lives of Hollywood actors anyway, good, bad or indifferent.
This movie has fantastic additional actors in it as well. Charles Grodin, Tom Sizemore (another troubled one) and Elisabeth Shue. The prinicple of the movie is that these four people are accidentally killed in a bus crash (5 including the bus driver) and they then get connected - ghost/spirit wise - to a baby being born at that instant (Robert Downey, Jr.). They follow them through his life, only learning very late in the game what they are there for. I won't go into too much, and I haven't read if any of the other 29 reviewers already gave it away. But, I won't.
This movie really does have it all. Humor, sadness, touching emotion. I mean, it's truly a beautiful and moving film that has never failed to please anyone I have shown it to. I'm certain, if you haven't seen it, it will have the same effect on you. I am just so thankful it is now FINALLY on dvd as I have been playing and playing my VHS copy for years - it was the only copy I had. Definitely get this before it goes out of print.
