    Cute, but then again, I'll never give a Minnie Driver movie lower than a five. You do the math.

    This is indeed the Best Story and Movie that I have seen since Roman Holiday . All these actors are absolutely outstanding in everyway. Too bad more movies like this were not made more. Thank You Mario Buksa.

    A very charming and romantic movie that warmed my heart. You also have to love Bonnie Hunt.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

  1. This romantic comedy is about a love that is destined to be, and it celebrates that warm huddle of caring and craziness called family.

    These characters deserve more than storybook plotting, as do we. The movie has won our hearts. It shouldn't be so timid about challenging our minds.
  3. The real strength of Return to Me is Hunt, who knows just when to retreat from the film's overriding sweetness and inject a cynical moment or two.
