Chances Are

Summary: Downey a comic delight
Review: "Chances Are" is one of the best films to come out of the 80's. Showcasing the talents of Robert Downey Jr., Cybil Shepherd, and Ryan O'Neal, this movie combines light-hearted laughter, with love and loss. Though I don't personally believe in reincarnation, I do think this film is amazing.

Summary: Its a very touching movie.
Review: Chances Are applies to all the people out there that believes that there is always a second chance for everything. The first time I watched this film,i loved it already. It tells us about a man who died right at the time that his wife is gonna have a baby. He begged the people up there to let him go back to his family again, and he came back as a guy who is so much younger than his wife. Cybill Sheperd was the perfect actress for the part of Carin and Robert Downey Jr showed that he is an actor worth of everybody's attention, he was perfect for the part of the reincarnated Louie.

Summary: Just great....
Review: Cybil Shepherd as always is excellent, as is Robert Downey Jr. in this great film.

Alex (Robert Downey Jr) is reincarnated, and suddenly gets his memories from his previous life... only to discover he was the father of his current love interest.

Watching Alex respond to his daughter - or dodging her advances, when she's more interested in being his girlfriend... is quite hilarious! Along with his memories, the emotions (his love for his wife) come back as well. Problems? Convicing his wife who he is, handling his best friend's love interest of his wife, and then dealing with the attraction his daughter has on him.... to name a few!

It's really fun watching him try and convince his wife who he is! You'll be cheering him on, all along the way!!! Sweet, touching, funny, full of emotions and fun from the first frame of the film, all the way to the last! As for the ending (without giving anything away, of course!)... is not quite what I thought it would be... but it's perfect.... and a little odd at the same time!

Summary: One of my Favs
Review: Excellent Movie !!! I first stumbled across this movie many years ago and liked the movie but since then have grown to love it! A wonderful romantic comedy with a great love story.

After, integrating some metaphysical studies into my life, I have come to believe in reincarnation and this movie touches on this subject with humor and romance.

I think one of the most interesting aspects of the movie is the soundtrack including the "After All" song from Peter Cetera and Cher. If you listen closely to the lyrics of that song, it expresses so eloquently Corrine's and Louie's reunion after his reincarnation and their undying love.

Summary: Great film but better off getting the uncut version instead!
Review: I don't know why many foreign films that get into the US market wind up getting cut, especially Jackie Chan ones. I own the original uncut letterboxed subtitled version of this movie put out years back by Taiseng video. It's so much better. At least the DVD is uncut. I hope more people get the DVD version of this movie instead of VHS in this case. You'll be getting a better run for your money.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I have seen a lot of Jackie Movies and I have to say this is one of my favorites. The story is beautiful and the action, although scarce, is absolutely outstanding, especially the fight in the rope factory which, I think, is the best one he has ever done. Jackie also shows off his dexterity, flicking and flipping his hat onto his head in imaginative ways. This film is brilliant. Buy it now!

Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: I love Robert Downey Jr. and there is no doubt that he brings such a strong presence to any movie. In Chances Are he played his character well, and the rest of the cast were pretty good too. But I was still disapointed in the end results. When you first sit down to watch it you easily adapt to the characters, and you can't wait to find out what Robert's character Louie will discover next. He dies, comes back as a new soul, but accidently is left with his former life's memories. The story is great until the end! It kind of ruined it for me. But Robert is halarious, and his chemistry with Sybill Shepherd is perfect. Go rent it and find out for yourself. Either way it goes, it's an unique story and a ton of laughs, so it's still worth the watch!
