Summary
RATING: R for language and some sexuality
Starring Lynn Redgrave, Jamey Sheridan, Cindy Crawford, Samantha Mathis, Harry Connick Jr., Tyne Daly, William Hurt, and Eric Stoltz
On a recent Halloween night four couples of differing backgrounds bring eight very different sets of hopes and aspirations to the dinner table of a Weehawken, New Jersey neighborhood party. When a fortune teller is invited to the house for entertainment, everything is thrown into disarray with the prediction that "one couple will be finished by the end of the year." (Gabriel Film Group)

Variety Lael Loewenstein
Though picture is at times undermined by a lack of unifying perspective, its glimmers of greatness are a testament to the talent involved.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
These formidable actresses [Redgrave and Daly], abetted by a persuasive Connick, and by Hurt as the most genteel and benevolent of ghosts, set a high standard for a splendid ensemble cast.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly F. X. Feeney
The interactions between the realms of the magical and the everyday are carried off with an easygoing charm.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
The acting runs the gamut, with Daly and Redgrave at the top and a few characters looking as if they wandered onto the wrong movie set.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Michael Dequina
Given how much Yellen does right, it's all the more shameful that she so spectacularly sinks her film in the foot with one hugely questionable "creative" decision: adding a pair of ghosts into the mix.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
One of those exercises in romantic whimsy that misses its mark: It's alternately sappy and uncomfortably harsh.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Wendy Lee
The film tries hard to avoid cliché but doesn't get very far.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
Surprisingly, some of the best moments come from supermodel Crawford and singer Connick, two acting tyros not generally known for their dramatic skills.
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
Since we know most of this cast is capable of acting, one must assume they received little instruction. Even if they did, who could blame them for not listening? After all, they are dealing with a script that tries to play scenes featuring drunken ghosts with silly accents for tragedy.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
Might be described as a muddy, cliché-ridden sudsfest that lurches uncertainly between comedy and soap opera without finding its emotional or visual footing.
