Return to sender. Except for David Duchovny.
Top CriticSo innocent, so naive, so sweet and sincere, that you must leave your cynicism at the door or choose another movie.
This film is energized by excellent performances.
The movie suffers from a surfeit of affection.
Ultimately too bland and safe.
An unbelievable premise, but sweet and romantic.
Touches the audience's heart without being sappy.
Contrivances abound, no doubt, but the picture refuses any disingenuous pollutant access to the mix, instead leading with heartfelt, lived-in emotions, enjoying a deliciously homey mood of friendly flirtation and old-world wisdom.
Driver and Duchovny shine in romance with heart.
Every time I see this it is better and better. Bonnie Hunt is an amazing writer.
Characters you can enjoy watching and will care about, places you will enjoy spending time, and a charming, hopeful look at love amid the vagaries of life.
See this wonderful film and let it teach you about the warmth, the richness, and the renewal of life.
Have a heart.
[Hunt] chooses early emotional depth to fulfill later parts of the movie--a master stroke, as it turns out.
I could almost recommend Return to Me to the more saccharine of my acquaintances were it not for a sugary denouement.
Delightful!
Return to Me isn't as well-executed as it could have been.
Although quite realistic at first, all conflicts suffer from unrealistic resolutions and from the lack of subtlety.
Wholly predictable.
