Title: Gonna take a sentimental journey...
Review: I've had a soft spot for this odd duck of a movie ever since I saw it on the big screen. Last night I watched it on DVD. It starts slow, but after the first 30 minutes just about every scene sucks you in deeper in caring about the characters. Four spirits who died together are stuck acting as unofficial guardian angels for the kid who was being born at the time of their crash. They don't know why for 30 years, and when they find out, the film really takes off. Part "Ghost" and part "Heaven Can Wait" and a hint of "The Bishop's Wife" can be discovered here, but if your eyes are dry by the time it ends, then your heart is the hardness of a diamond but with none of the gem's sparkle. Downey is great, as is Charles Grodin, and everyone else in the cast is fine as well.
Is the review positive or negative?
