It's got an interesting idea...

... that being a concept about reincarnation that has nothing to do with what you did in your past life. IOW in this universe, if you are a person and you die, then you come back as just another person, not as an aardvark if you were not so virtuous. The whole "heavenly waiting room" has the ambiance of an airline terminal with everybody in line going somewhere to be reborn. But it's very important that one of the "employees" give you an injection so that it is not possible that you remember your past life. If that's not done then, once reborn, you might see familiar things from your past life and suddenly remember who you once were.Louis Jeffries (Christopher McDonald) marries Corrine (Cybil Shepherd). Louis is a district attorney and discovers that a judge is corrupt - He gets photo evidence of him receiving a payoff. But this is the same day as his one year anniversary, and he is killed trying to cross the street to the restaurant where he and Corrine will be celebrating.When Louis gets to heaven he is frantic to be reborn as soon as possible so he can get back to Corrine, but in his haste he doesn't get the shot I previously mentioned that would allow him to forget all that happened when he was Louis.23 years later he's a student at Yale. Alex Finch (Robert Downey Jr) who gets interested in Miranda, who happens to be Louis' daughter. She wants to take him home to meet her mother. Since Corrine still lives in the same home that she and Louis lived in when Louis was alive, being in this house eventually jogs Alex's memories of being Louis, and now he's in a terrible jam. Someone he now sees as his own daughter, Miranda, is making sexual overtures to him, while he is still in love with Corrine, which makes him look like a cougar chaser, especially to Corrine! Meanwhile there are those pesky incriminating photos of the corrupt judge that have been sitting in Louis' closet all of these years.This is cringy at points yet charming, and well acted by the entire cast. It's a good early role for Robert Downey Jr. As Alex Finch who has Louis' past life memories. If you are looking for something sweet but not that challenging, it's a good go-to film.

A love like no other

Another Downey must-see! If you are an obsessed fan like me, you have got to see this movie! He plays Alex Finch, a 22 year old Yale grad who realizes that the life he just came into is the life he left 26 years earlier. Alex is the re-incarnation of Louie Jeffries, a no-nonsense lawyer happily married to Corrine (Cybil Sheppard). Louie is killed on their one-year anniversary when he is hit by a car. He demands to go back, only this time in the body of Alex Finch. Enter Robert Downey Jr., a lot of confusion, and a lot of laughs.

Although this movie is 15-years old, it still makes you wonder if there really is such a thing as re-incarnation. And if so, how often to you meet the same souls life after life. I don't know the answer. But I do know that you need to see this movie. It is a riot, and Downey looks SO GOOD in a tuxedo. This film makes you believe in love, and true love never dies. It just gets recycled.
