I love high concept movies like this.

I'm not sure why originality like this is so hard to find nowadays. The idea of a ghost (or four) watching you your whole life is both humbling and a little off-putting. I just came off watching Chances Are (the other Robert Downey Jr. reincarnation comedy) and I decided to give this one another shot. I cried a lot more this time around. I'm not sure why it's so emotional. I guess the subject of death is a touchy one, and it's nice to think that you'll have one last chance to "make things right" even if you screw this life up.

This and Chances Are are my 2 favorite Downey films!

I saw Chances Are when I was a little kid, the scene where Alex is trying to tell Corinne he's her husband. I actually got upset when she didn't believe him and I started crying, lol. I didn't connect that it was Downey until years later, but I'm glad to know now. The guy really brings an unexpected twist to every movie he's in.
