Movie Info

Kay (Sally Field) is a widow who's met a handsome but otherwise dull Egyptologist named Rupert (Jeff Bridges) and hopes to marry. Trouble is, the ghost of her dead husband, Jolly (James Caan), strenuously objects. A former Broadway director, he's visible only to Kay, and begins interfering in her life so much that others question her sanity. Jolly, however, cares only about driving away the hated Rupert, who for his part thinks to stage an exorcism.

Kiss Me Goodbye attempts to skate the thin ice of fantasy, and sinks. Too bad.

...a lackadaisical (and somewhat muted) piece of work that admittedly does grow more and more compelling as it progresses...

Reel Film Reviews
The movie has a certain dignity, but it never fully achieves any of its objectives. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
A picture-perfect example of how three great performers can elevate even the slightest and most lightweight material imaginable.

Audience Reviews for Kiss Me Goodbye

Mar 29, 2007

The story is fairly ridiculous but Sally is very winning and James Caan and Jeff Bridges make good contrasts. Claire Trevor is a pistol as Sally's bossy plain talking mother.
