Netflix says:
"A celestial boo-boo sends soul-in-limbo Louie Jeffries into the body of Alex Finch (Robert Downey Jr.) in this heavenly romantic comedy. Louie lies dormant until Alex starts dating Miranda (Mary Stuart Masterson)-the daughter of Louie's widow, Corinne (Cybil Shepard). When Louie's memories are unleashed, Emile Ardolino's film gets as complex as a Shakespearean comedy, forcing all the players to sort out the remarkable events."
As complex as a Shakespearean comedy? Must be a reference to Alex Shakespeare, who wrote scripts for "Double Trouble" back in the 80's. This film is as complex as a bowl of instant mashed potatoes...without salt.
By the way, if you actually REMEMBER that show, we need to talk. Maybe we could get a discount if we go to therapy together. Anyhoo, back to the review at hand.
Have you ever been to a restaurant, ordered a bleu cheese-stuffed steak and been presented with a plate of Spam? That's how I feel. I ordered a romantic comedy, and I got Spammed.
If you are into the "reincarnation" plot line, watch "Heart and Souls", which we've already submitted to our experiment. It's a much, much, much better film.
I give this one a 6, because it had a "love theme" by Peter Cetera and Cher...back in the day when films still had "love themes." Ah......the 80's.
