  1. Duchovny and Driver have distinctive good looks and they both combine attractiveness with talent and intelligence. Best of all, they possess that essential quality all screen lovers must have: terrific chemistry.

    Comes off as an exceedingly pleasant, wistful romantic romp.

    First-time director Bonnie Hunt pays slavish adherence to the Nora Ephron rules of assembly for the prefab rom-com.
  4. If you get past the preposterous hypothesis at the start of Return to Me, you'll find a passably pleasant, utterly bland romantic comedy without a surprise to its 110 minutes.

  1. O.k., Let's Face it, sometimes we live in a very cruel and unforgiving world, This is the reason why Hollywood is so wealthy, as a people we need escapism to sink into, to take us away from a world that causes so many people harm..... Return to me is a fantasy, One of the reasons why I love this movie is because of it's tender innocence, it doesn't burden you with so many complications and chaos that other romance films throw at you, it's innocent,childlike, And I love it for this. Bonnie Hunt has really made a very charming and warm-hearted movie...This movie I truly recommend!!!! Expand

    Predictable. Another case where the couple in question is much overshadowed by the brilliance of the supporting cast. I would like to see a movie about any of them, without the mildly engaging obligatory love story taking up the screen time. My wife loves it. Expand

    This is one of those movies I shouldn't have liked but did. As illogical as it is, the film has a lot of charm, warm performances, a nice mixture of romance, comedy and drama. Somehow director Bonnie Hunt makes it work. Expand

    Yes, there is a hapy, spappy ending, thats why it is called a Romantic Comody, it has so much more. Unlike many modern movies "Return to Me" make use of strong supporting charaters. These guys had fun making this movie and it shows. For a full cast of human beings in a movie you can watch with your grandmother or teenage daughter, for a music track to play again and again, for potty mouth children, for loving relationships many stages and forms in friends, family and courtship, for Carole O' Conner having the time of his life, see "Return to Me. Then watch it again and dance to the old fashiond charm of Joey Gian's "What if I Loved You". Expand
