Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack Spanish; Director's Comments Two bittersweet story lines intertwine to form the light and touchingly ironic romantic story of director Bonnie Hunt's RETURN TO ME. While architect Bob Rueland (a perfectly chivalrous David Duchovny) enjoys wonderful days with his zoologist wife, Elizabeth, having finally found the funding to build an addition to her zoo, a youthful but suffering waitress, Grace Briggs (a darling Minnie Driver), struggles with heart disease. One April evening, Bob and Elizabeth are in a terrible car accident. Elizabeth passes away in the hospital, and Grace, who has been waiting for a heart transplant, receives the donated organ. Therefore, when over a year later, Bob and Grace meet for the first time and fall in love, they have no idea that their hearts were matched once before.
RETURN TO ME is a moving tale that seems to touch on nearly every topic: from love and death to family and religion to raising kids and caring for gorillas (no joke), without taking anything too seriously. Carroll O'Connor plays Grace's grandfather--a jolly old guy with a chummy bunch of card-playing Italian friends. In addition, Bonnie Hunt and James Belushi play Grace's best friends, and give hilarious performances as the parents of young kids. This film is an excellent choice for the tender-hearted. A charming romantic comedy about finding love in the most ironic--and unlikely--of places. Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) is mourning the tragic loss of his wife, who nobly agreed to donate her heart to a needy recipient. When he meets Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver), little does he realize that she's the recipient! Eventually, the truth comes out, and Bob must decide for himself which heart it is his heart wants to follow. Originally released theatrically on April 7, 2000
Return To Me Reviews: "...[A] refreshingly zesty script..."
-- Kay Dickinson, Sight and Sound "...Hunt has brought off a neat balancing act; the movie is a shrewd mixture of salty and sanctimonius moments..."-- Stephen Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life "...What gives the movie its gentle charm is not the melodramatic story, but the warmth of the performances..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...You'll feel like a valentine's been delivered straight into your living room..."

Return To Me Movie Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   UNIQUE!
Unique movie compared with what hollywood has been putting out in the last 20 years. A good story including romance, comedy and drama all in one. Good to be viewed by the whole family including kids. We need more movies like this one.

A great family show.
This movie was a movie that all people could relate to. The movie was clean and full of good morals. It was a movie that I didn't have to worry about who was watching it with me.

I had heard a LOT of good things about this movie so I bought it unreviewed. It is a cute movie, a little sappy, but there is more cursing than I was led to believe...especially using child actors. I don't believe people have to curse to make a movie believable and certainly not enjoyable.

It has IT! all.
Kids, animals, travel to foreign countries, drama, comedy, heart-melting romance and scintillating dialogue. PLUS....Carrol O'Conner and the voice of Dean martin. Throw in a cast of veteran actors who have mastered their movie-craft, perfect sets, and you have a movie you can just sit back and enjoy all the way through.

$6.55 
A charming, low-key romantic comedy, MURPHY'S ROMANCE is full of the small pleasures missing from other pictures of its genre. James Garner, in his first Oscar-nominated performance, is the title character, Murphy. Garner lends his unique, down-home persona to the character while the film's writers endow the character with some memorable lines. Murphy's romance begins when Emma (Field) arrives in the small Arizona town where he lives. With her she brings her son Jake, and a feisty attitude. Though this sounds like a set-up from any number of other film romances, it becomes clear from their first meeting ...

Director, writer, and producer Nancy Meyers's (THE PARENT TRAP) sophomore directorial effort is a lively screwball fantasy featuring Mel Gibson in his first romantic comedy. Gibson plays Nick Marshall, a high-flying chauvinistic Chicago advertising executive who, like his musical idol, Frank Sinatra, calls women "baby" and believes he has the world on a string. Nick experiences a rude awakening when the creative director position he coveted goes to Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt), a savvy outsider--and a woman--who intends to aggressively pursue the lucrative women's market. While trying to brainstorm ideas for "feminine" products, Nick experiences a freak accident that gives him the ability to hear women's thoughts. Determined to win back his stolen job, Nick uses his terrifying yet useful new talent to scrutinize Darcy and finds ...

The Brits and the Yanks join forces in this romantic Christmas comedy set in England and L.A. Kate Winslet is a British journalist caught in a cycle of unrequited love with her coworker, Jasper (Rufus Sewell). Jasper does his best to lead her on, and when he announces his engagement to another woman in the office, Winslet is crushed. Meanwhile, across the pond, Cameron Diaz is a high-strung movie-trailer editor who has just ended her relationship with Ethan (Edward Burns) after he accuses her of being emotionally unavailable. And, oh yes, he has sort of been sleeping with his receptionist.
Brokenhearted, Diaz and Winslet make contact through a vacation website and agree to swap homes for two weeks to escape their disastrous personal lives. Winslet takes off for Diaz's lavish L.A. pad, while Diaz arrives at Winslet's picturesque cottage right outside London. When Winslet's brother Graham (Jude Law) knocks at the door one night looking for his sister, he instead encounters Diaz, and sparks soon fly--despite the fact that they both know she won't be in town for long. Winslet, for her part, is busy mending her heart ...
