Return to Me (2000)

Rating: 70%
Alright. Now here's the third VHS movie from the bag: Return to Me.

Plot: Bob Rueland is an architect who is currently working on a building at the Lincoln Park Zoo where his wife, Elizabeth is a zoologist. But then Elizabeth is killed in a car accident. At the same time, Grace is in intensive care awaiting high-risk, life-saving cardiac surgery. The surgery is successful due to the doctors actually using Elizabeth's heart to save Grace. A year later, Grace is living life to the fullest with the intention to even go to Rome. Bob meanwhile, is still grieving over his loss, so his friend charlie sets him up with a blind date. The date doesn't go well, but in the end, he becomes interested in the waitress in the restaurant who happens to be Grace. From there stay start going out and falling in love unaware that Grace has Elizabeth's heart.

Now I'm probably sure that you guys are guessing that it's not very unpredictable just like My Giant and Corrina, Corrina. So is it?...well in the general sense, yes. But that doesn't stop it from being good. Because unlike the last two VHS films it was much, much more interesting. I mean the story all around was nice, the romance was cute, and while the comedy isn't super hilarious, there were a lot of points - especially from some of the scenes with Grace's grandfather and his friends - that turned out to be at least a little funny. So yes it's not original, yes it's not a classic, but it's pretty enjoyable anyway.

Acting/Characters:
David Duchovny/Bob Rueland: I thought he did a good job with his emotional parts from after Elizabeth died. I may not be an expert on that stuff, but as far as I can tell, he did alright with that. When it comes to the rest of the film, he did a good job with giving us this character who is still going through the loss but is really loving the time he eventually starts spending with Grace.
Minnie Driver/Grace: Grace I thought was cute. I liked how she had the habit of worrying what men think about the scar she has from her transplant and how that went when she was finishing her first date with Bob and was totally regretting it and stuff like that.

Music: The music was okay. nothing really stood out.

Editing: I was fine with the editing except for the beginning. Because I felt that they didn't give us enough to show so that we knew right away that Grace is getting Elizabeth's heart. They did show Elizabeth's body during the surgery, but considering we only knew this woman for only...7 ish minutes, I at least had no idea until around 15 minutes later in the film.

And that's my review for Return to Me. It's not original, but it gives us an interesting, fairly funny, and a little romantic movie that is enjoyable anyway.
