It must've gotten an editor's or director's re-cut.This is NOT the same movie I saw approximately 20 years ago.The movie I saw had the same core actors, but revolved around her "magical thinking" notion that the ring she found in the fish would fit her "husband-to-be".The movie had LOADS more soul than this cut. and even made you believe in magic. The real kind. this re-cut makes me HATE whatever soulless machine took over Hollywood and sucked the life out of ALL entertainment.They need to STOP destroying the best movies ever made ("they" did the same to "Miracle on 34th Street")SHAME ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

For someone who likes modern fairy tales, this is a great movie. Granted, Demi Moore's accent wasn't the best- but I blame that on a bad voice coach- not her. There was actual chemistry between her and Jeff Daniels. If you liked Practical Magic, you'll probably like this one too. Basically, if you want a cute, distracting movie with a little bit of the paranormal (Moore plays a psychic- yes, a real one), like urban settings and slightly predictable love triangles with a happy ending, you'll love this one. This one is for the innocent in the audience- or the people who can overlook one bad point for the big picture, because in the long run, this movie is awesome. This one and Moonstruck are my two favorite 'chick flicks'.....and I don't normally like chick flicks.

It's a harmless, little romantic comedy that entertains and delights me. I watch it every time it's on TV.Demi's character conveys mystery and innocence...and the blonde hair is most suitable to that end. Plus it foreshadows (spoiler) that Jeff Daniels (also blond) and she are meant for each other.The gay parts are subtle and sweet...I take no offense at all and am surprised that others do.I no longer expect perfection in any movie. Having said that, if you just want to be entertained and need a break from violence, cursing, and nudity....give this movie a try.

I have screened this movie for the 4th time.Watching Demi Moore makes it hard to remember she is not acting (re. suspension of disbelief). Jeff Daniels' character plays a good neurotic.On the pro side, I found the direction fair to midland and the supporting cast excellent.The screenplay is sweetly romantic and sentimental.I did not find the theme overtly pro-homosexual. Rather, it was a mature look of life and love and it's happenstance. I would enjoy talking with my youngsters about the film as it embodies life's essentials.
