Heart and Souls

Critics Consensus

A charismatic array of character actors bring a lot of Heart to this supernatural comedy, but many will find that it heaps on the sentimentality where its Soul should be.

The four continue as ghosts, guardians to the child born at the moment of their deaths.

Audience Reviews for Heart and Souls

  • Apr 06, 2011
    A really feel-good movie with one of the oddest and greatest collection of actors I have ever seen. There is also a cameo by B.B. King in a really great scene with Downey Jr.

    Probably the most bizarre normal movie i've ever come in contact with. It has some truly nutty and flat out weird moments, but when you have a ghost premise it all becomes subjective as to what you should expect. Robert Downey Jr. really doesn't get the credit he deserves for his multiple performances. Not only does he play a very great mid-nineties yuppie, but equally convincing interpretations of the four ghosts. His middle aged black lady is my favorite, but sexed up Kyra Sedgwick is almost just as good. The story is totally unique, no other ghost movie really tries to do what this did. It presents the idea of an unfinished life in a way that makes the viewer want to take advantage of the time they have.

    A good flick. The comedy is there and all the characters work well together. Downey is fun

    Robert Downey, Jr. Lyte. A cute but unexceptional offering from the director of <i>Tremors</i> and <i>City Slickers</i>.
