Editorial Review
Robert Downey Jr. has never been more charming than in this comedy about a yuppie who is revisited in adulthood by the spirits of four people who had been his friends as a child. The ghosts (Kyra Sedgwick, Charles Grodin, Alfre Woodard, Tom Sizemore) all have unfinished business in this world before they can move on to the next, and Downey's character agrees to let them inhabit his body while they sort it all out. The appealing cast alone strongly recommends this movie, but Downey's remarkable facility for physical comedy--manifesting the personalities of his supernatural pals as they possess him--is a riot. Elisabeth Shue makes the best of her part as the hero's girlfriend; Leaving Las Vegas was still ahead of her, but one can see her talent straining to get out here. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, production notes, theatrical trailer, biographies of the cast, closed captioning, an optional French soundtrack and Spanish subtitles, and Dolby sound. --Tom Keogh

Heartwarming!

I cry every time I watch this movie! It is a heartwarming story where, yes, you will need to suspend disbelief and just go with it.

What a Great Movie!

Love, death, car wrecks, great music, and a happy ending what more can one movie deliver? I thoroughly enjoy watching this movie and have watched it time and time again. It's a great movie to sit in front of on a wet Sunday afternoon with the kids.

No regular available?

Was disappointed that the movie was sent in widescreen. Would like regular screen CD.

This is one of Robert Downey Jr best movies up to that time. A good heart warming and funny show.

CUTE WITH A NICE MESSAGE! DOWNEY GIVES A GREAT PERFORMANCE!

It's hard to believe I never heard of this movie before now. Although it was not quite what I expected, I found the cast gave it their all in this heartwarming and inspiring little supernatural comedy. Robert Downey Jr. in particular was very good showing his best comedic and serious layers. The DVD has a very good transfer, but not much else in the way of extra material.

Heart and Souls

This is one of those thought provoking movies. Everyone faces a crossroads in his or her lives that is a turning point. Four people at those crossroads die prematurely before they are able to make a decision, and are fated to roam the earth until they resolve unfinished business. Their only human contact to figure everything out is Robert Downey Jr. The entire cast was actually very good, and well chosen - Kyra Sedgwick, Charles Grodin, Alfre Woodard, and Tom Sizemore give emotional heartwarming performances.
