SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

snowdancing First I liked that movie. It seemed to me a nice comedy with some silly moments. The costume designer Albert Wolsky did his best!!! The same as wonderful set decorator Robert R. Benton - this man really had a very good taste!!! But the script writers disappointed me extremely. The best ending would be the scene on the ladder, but instead of it, they decided that the father and his daughter should be together. Don't like the ending. The father becomes boyfriend of his own daughter and his ex-wife knows about it and finds it alright. It would be OK, if the scriptwriters would for example say that now there is a different soul in the body, but they did not, they only deprived him of memories. The actors were good, they were really funny. Cybill Shepherd was charming, Robert Downey Jr. was very funny in the dancing scene : )))... But some of the moments spoil even the impression of good acting. For example, Corinne Jeffries, played by Cybill Shepherd after the death of her husband was waiting for him 23 years (it's a long time!), she was true to him, she loved nobody but him, and when she met him and was just about making love to him, after a scene with her friend Philip Train (Ryan O'Neal), she very easily betrayed the man she was longing for so many years!!! It would be a good movie, if not the ending and some missed human psychology.

ccthemovieman-1 Chances are if I watched this again I might get physically sick, the film is so annoying.....unless you believe in psychics, re-incarnation and the other hocus- pocus which this promotes big-time. The "re-cycling of souls," they call it here. Puh-leeze.This story has been done several times before with such films as "Heaven Can Wait." It's also been done a lot better. Too bad they had to waste the talents of Robert Downey Jr., Cybill Shepherd, Ryan O'Neal and Mary Stuart Masterson.At least it's a pretty tame film, language-wise. That's about the only redeeming quality of this movie.

babydevill728 The beginning of the movie was good, but as we get more into the movie it becomes absolutely terrible. When Louie died and had his soul put into another body, he and his wife should have overcome this and be together regardless. It's a disaster that Corinne ended up marrying her "dead husband's" best friend in the end. I don't know how any person with a heart could do such a cruel thing. Also, the movie ended in a horrible way. Alex, who is Louie with a different body, should have somehow gotten his original body back. And reunite in a loving way with his wife. After I finished watching this movie I was extremely disappointed. The director did an awful job with this movie. I think anyone would realize this. The ending of the movie killed the entire film. Robert Downey Jr. is a great actor. I can't understand why he even accepted such a role. I would never want to be in a movie like this. This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my whole entire life. Just disastrous, awful, terrible, disgusting.

glassmountainentertainment While a previous comment mentioned that Cybil Shepard was miscast and the ending was stupid, I have to argue that sometimes top notch execution supersedes such shortcomings.For some reason this is one of those films (and there aren't many) that you might catch on cable while flipping and get stuck there. Even if you've seen it before, there is something so raw and entertaining in it's delivery that you just get sucked into every scene.If Cybil was miscast, and I don't believe that she was, she still pulled it off. The chemistry between all the actors is palpable. But I mainly credit the writer and director for accomplishing something that few filmmakers can: taking a fairly far-fetched story and making you savor every moment anyway.
