Movie Reviews of Chances Are
Movie Review: A Beautiful Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies in my DVD collection. Four actors you wouldn't expect to go very well together, wind up giving a wonderful group performance. Not only are Robert Downey, Jr. and Mary Stuart Masterson fantastic, but I was surprised that Ryan O'Neal was so entertaining. Of all the characters Cybill Shepherd had the least far to go with her portrayal of a ditzy blonde.
This movie is wonderful because it tells a sweet love story. It speaks of the possibilities beyond this earth. As far as the reincarnation theme the movie touches on some basic themes, but "What Dreams May Come" is more realistic in exploring the spiritual reasons for reincarnation. This is a movie to watch if you want a feel good love story to soothe the soul. It's not a movie I'd recommend to people who's right-wing preacher has convinced them throwing people into a lake with a boulder tied to them is the correct way to deal with those you suspect of being witches. Robert Downey, Jr. looks nothing like the man who plays Corinne's original husband so it's a bit of a stretch for anyone to bemoan underlying inferences. Watch this movie when you want to bathe yourself in the possibilities of true love. It will leave you with a smile on your face and a fuzzy warm feeling inside.
Summary of Chances Are
A veteran reporter arrives in Washington to start a new job and is flooded with memories of a former life and wife.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG
Release Date: 7-JUN-2005
Media Type: DVD
Cybill Shepherd plays a pregnant woman whose husband is killed before their baby is born; once he gets to heaven, he begs for a chance to come back to her and his unborn child. The twist is that he returns in the form of Robert Downey Jr., boyfriend to Cybill's daughter (Mary Stuart Masterson). When the daughter brings him home from college, he gets his memory back--and starts coming on to her mom. Sounds like a Jerry Springer show--"Help! My dad has been reincarnated as my boyfriend!"--but this Emile Ardolino film actually has a passable amount of charm and wit, once it gets into gear. It gives you a sense of just how funny and charming Downey can be, given the right material. --Marshall Fine
