Return To Me Movie Review

Return To Me is, as Leonard Maltin says, "Fresh, Funny and Charming."  A light, romantic movie, I put this one on one day while I was working in the kitchen.  That wasn't a great idea as I was quickly pulled heart and body into the big easy chair in our family room.  (So much for supper!)

The story? That of a widower and a waitress who fall in love. (I did say romance movie, didn’t I?) It is, however also a comedy, following the widower’s blind date at an Irish-Italian eatery. Unfortunately, the woman he falls for is not his blind date but rather the waitress. With a bit of help from the waitress' grandfather, the two eventually manage a relationship which the truth threatens to shatter.

"Who knew when he ordered the special, he'd get the dish of his life."

Return to Me made me smile, it made me laugh and it almost made me cry.  This 2000 movie stars David Duchovny, Minnie Driver, Carroll O'Connor, Robert Loggia and Bonnie Hunt and is rated PG.   Amazon calls it "A gentle, pleasing romantic comedy." I agree.

See you
at the movies!
