Summary: Feel Good Movie
Review: A fairytale story where mismatched people find their way to their proper mates at the end. A feel good movie that leaves you smiling and there's nothing wrong with that. Excellent performances by everyone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very Good Movie!

Summary: On my favorites list
Review: Demi Moore did a really nice job in this charming movie. IMO the only flaws preventing this from being a classic family show is the character Leo (George Dzundza) uses the "f-word" several times and there is the hint of a lesbian affair. Nonetheless, I'm sending it to Mom for her enjoyment.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bad as three-day-old ground chuck...
Review: Five minutes into The Butcher's Wife, my thought was, "The has got to be a vanity project." It feels like Demi Moore's version of Eddie Murphy's Vampire In Brooklyn, a movie were a megastar is attached, everyone lets them do their own thing, and no one wants to tell them, look, this isn't working. The cast does try hard, but the inept script gives them nothing to work with. The DVD quality is mediocre at best. From the opening seconds of the film, the screen is crawling with grain, not made any better by the low video bitrate. Audio is passable, and the only extra is a laughably bad trailer. Fans of Demi Moore -- if there are any left after The Scarlet Letter or G.I. Jane -- may want to add this to their collection, but the other 6,185,348,023 of you in the world will want to give it a pass.

Summary: This one can be seen over and over again!
Review: If you like an off-beat movie full of irony,comedy,good music, and romantic twists(not to mention melodrama), then this is your movie. Never mind other movies with Demi Moore...this one is her best, and her best suited role ever. All the characters are kooky, even the "shrink". Just sit back and enjoy this over and over again!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love this movie (except for Jeff Daniels)
Review: If you like Mermaids or Joe vs. the Volcano, you'll like this, too. Charming, moving, and magical from start to finish. The only fault I find is that Daniels is not particularly charismatic as the leading man, but Demi (with fabulous hair), Mary Steenburgen, and the rest of the cast really shine. Check it out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A delightful and powerful drama portraying the power of love
Review: This is a marvelous movie. It may be taken as a literal or figurative drama depicting man's unhappy fate when he lives his life without attunement to the powerful promptings of his heart. Fortunately, the various couples come to the happy realization of the nature of true love. Demi Moore spendidly plays the role of a clairvoyant whose readings foretell the interactions amongst the characters in a caring New York City micro-community. Amazingly, the core idea of soul-mates is true to the actual situation that developed in humanity's past, as testified to by the true and complete claivoyant from ancient times, Plato. The movie neatly refers to Plato, permitting those illuminated by the movie to look into the matter further. The acting is superb and transparent, all around. One is totally transported into the world the movie creates. A movie with a powerful individuality, a clear five stars. Plain and simply, a charming, powerfully-moving, deeply thought-provoking inspired and inspiring drama. Finally, a movie about reality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You know her too!
Review: This is one of those movies that you will want to add to your Christmas story collection.

Marina (Demi Moore) lives on the South Carolina coast with Grammy D'Arbo (Elizabeth Lawrence). She has a dream that she will meet her split apart. Then she sees a two tailed comet as a defiant sign. Sure enough Leo Lemke (George Dzundza) shows up in a boat and she runs to great her future.

There are many overlapping stories of love and lovers. They all cross lives with Marina and she changes every thing. This greatly upsets the local "Shrink" Dr. Alex Tremor (Jeff Daniels).

One of the nice touches is that every ware Marina goes there is a slight breeze of fresh air.

This leaves two main questions:
Harper asks "Why does everything I touch die?"
Who gets the toad that "...will seal you love forever"?
