This is a very "heart-wrenching" file with many emotional moments. The two principle ladies about which this film revolves play excellent and touching roles. The fact that the latter is named Grace in the film is quite fitting. This is a film for sentimentalists and has plenty of moving moments. If you are feeling sorry for yourself, you should watch this film. It will lift your spirits.

Excellent brand new condition of DVD. Prompt delivery of DVD. Would order from this company again!

This was a very enjoyable movie. In particular, the scenes with Carol O'Connor as Mini Driver's bar owning father are warm and humorous.

This film is the first romantic comedy in a LONG time that has been worth two hours of my time. It is absolutely fabulous, and is not filled with offensive language, sex-scenes, or adultery. I LOVED it, and I do not typically enjoy romantic comedies.

Check your cynicism at the door, please. This film is somewhat courageous in the way it wears its heart on its sleeve in these days when any spark of sentiment is usually couched in irony. Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) has lost his beloved wife (Joely Richardson) in a traffic accident; Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver) has received her heart in a transplant operation. It's not giving anything away to let you that fate brings them together in the end. As soon as the film opens, you know that it couldn't go any other way.

It must be difficult to make such an innocent story work for today's audiences, but writer/director Bonnie Hunt (with co-screenwriter Don Lake) pulls it off. The cast is warm and likeable, the dialogue is sharp, and the music is romantic. Hunt and James Belushi are wonderful as a couple whose affection for each other shines through their constant bickering.

This movie is one of my favorites. It has a great story, puppy love, a doting grandfather, and offers lots of laughs! What else could you want? It does drag a bit at the end.... but I could watch it a million times without tiring.

This is probably the most bizarre review I've written considering the reviews I tend to write. But, why not, right? I'm not too full of macheesmo to admit watching and liking a good ol' romance film from time to time. I usually drive my wife to the brink of madness by making her watch films like Death Wish 3 and Zombie Holocaust, but there are times when the soft side of me takes over and I surprise her by bringing home something like this. I was very happy with my selection this time. Return To Me doesn't have an awful lot new to offer in terms of a love story plot outside it's "twist", but it's well done. Practically every character is very likeable, it's romantic, it's interesting, and..........well, you just can't help but like it. So, if you're a guy and you have a night alone with your girlfriend, wife or mistress, forget your copy of Tango & Cash and give this a whirl. Neither of you will be sorry.

ok... before the big bonnie hunt bang of 2004, this movie made her a star in my eyes. the four men older men in this movie have the best chemistry i've seen between characters on screen. ever. the best. seriously- i'm not joking. this movie is hysterical and it pulls on your heartstrings. duchovny and minnie driver are almost supporting actors, in my eyes. just goes to show you that experience shows.

by far the most underrated romantic comedy i've seen.

This movie, "Return to Me" is just what the doctor ordered for a rainy day. Remember to have a large box of tissues close by, some good chocolates, and a pot of your favorite tea.

The opening scenes are a bit slow; then WHAM -- you'll be hooked. The descriptive words for me are: warmth, love, family loyalty, friendship, kindness, sharing, and romance.

This movie is at least a five handkerchief movie! This is one I will see many times, and share with my friends and family.

I was really skeptical about this film at first. It seemed oddly cast, and the story seemed overly cheesy, but I was very surprised. Driver was wonderful and believable; she brought life to a not so likely character and made her a beautiful person and more importantly, a relatable one. David Duchovny had a little more trouble with his role it seemed, but overall his character is enjoyable as well. The real triumph here, however, is the supporting cast. Lead by Bonnie Hunt (whom I love) they were all drop-dead hilarious and loveable. I would strongly recommend this film.

The DVD itself is a little boring, but that is made up by the wonderful film.
