To little honor is given to the gem who co-wrote this movie and directed it. She even plays in it. Her name is Bonnie Hunt and she is the one playing the sister. I think she is a comedic genius and this movie was very well written and directed.

The scene where the dog is waiting for his wife to come home and he tells him "she's never coming home" absolutely wrecked me when I saw it years ago.

I had heart surgery at age 42. The scar puffed up on me and turned bright red. Didn't begin to fade for a good 4 years. Oh well. I'm still here.

I'm a man, but I cried ugly at times in this movie...especially when he listened to his wife's heartbeat for the first time in the body of the woman who he fell in love with. Everyone needs a love like that.

The one nun says in Italian: "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings" A little call back to "It's a wonderful life".

So underrated and overlooked, I've loved this movie ever since it came out. And, in case you didn't see it in the credits, written and directed by Bonnie Hunt. As always, thank you for a great reaction.

I saw this movie in the theater on my very first date with the woman who became my wife. It has always been special to me because of this, and I am so glad that it was such a fine movie.

Fun Fact: Bonnie Hunt's brother is a physician at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago. He arranged for the hospital to be used as a setting in the film. Also, I am glad that you two are the first to react to this film on KZfaq and I thank you for that.

Duchovny is pretty underrated, and Minnie is just so real

Lost my wife to ovarian cancer when she was 32 just a few years ago. I remember when the doctor discussed with me donating her organs. The movie brought back a flood of memories and emotions. I remember the broken heart, The grieving and in time thehealing. The tears, And in time the return to lving, the laughter and dating nightmares that came with it. You two ladies are wonderful, I love your content.

One of the best all time rom coms. Not superficial, great supporting characters that aren't 2D, so moving & funny. Bonnie Hunt is a gem, she wrote, directed and acted in it!

It slightly saddens me that people don't recognize Fox Mulder anymore. But I hope you guys watch the X-Files some day :) one of the best shows and the best chemistry between lead protagonists ever put on television.

First time my wife and I watched this was in 2000 in the hospital waiting for our daughter to decide to come out and introduce herself to us. Will always have a special place in my heart

Bonnie Hunt is a genius...she made this film!❤❤❤

Kind of random, but seeing David Duchovny makes me think of Tea Leoni, which makes me think, "How have you never reacted to The Family Man?".

My sister and I loved, loved, loved this movie. We would watch it together once a year when I visited her from half-way across the country. I lost her five years ago and I still watch it once a year. Seeing you two watching and commenting really brought a tear to my eye, in a good way. Thank you.

Organ donation. My husband was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, someone is living today because of my husband’s heart, I have no idea who though. For a few years I have been told I should watch this movie, this was my first time watching it. I loved it, I watched it last night but couldn’t post till this morning, I cried a lot. It’s been 5 years now for me, I’m still a single mom of 3. Cassie, Carly I am glad you did this movie, I don’t think I would have ever watched it without you two.

If I didn't already know that this was written by Bonnie Hunt and Don Lake (the guy with the BAD hair plugs), I would have wanted to look up who did write it, because this is an utterly perfect story. Perfect in tone and in pacing, and performed stupendously by all.

One of my wife and mine's favorite under the radar movies! "I ache for Grace" ❤ Both meanings of that line are so powerful!

In the 90s Minnie Driver had a bit of a purple patch and starred in 3 great movies in a row: Sleepers with Brad Pitt, Grosse point blank with John Cusack and Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon. I hope you get around to watching them on the channel sometime.

The actors who played the four old men were some of the best actors of their time! Carrol O Connor who played her grandfather was in alot of movies then went to tv and was in one of the best sitcom ever”All in the family were he Archie Bunker. Great reaction as always,glad you got your happy ending ❤p/s do you ladies like hallmark movies?

So sweet!!! The beauty of this movie was the inclusion of the older characters. Loved them.

David Duchovny is a good actor. He's had his problems, but his acting is usually top notch. I recommend one of his lesser known films. Evolution. Directed by Ivan Reitman, who also did Ghostbusters.

Bonnie Hunt, in addition to being WONDERFUL in this movie also DIRECTED the movie! I LOVE this movie! Great choice!

David Duchovny plays one of my favorite tv characters Fox Mulder from The X-Files one of the best tv shows ever!

This is a great movie, I had forgotten about it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Only down side watching these types of movies is all the characters get to have these great love connections, reminds me I never had. So I sit here enjoying the movie with tears rolling down my face.

Fun Fact: The bar/restaurant is actually called 'Twin Anchors', is located on Sedgwick, and is only a few blocks away from the southern end of the Lincoln Park Zoo (which is the farm animal section, the Gorillas are more toward the center.)

I love this movie so much. Also in my top 5 romcoms. Bob's heartbreak as he sat by the door and cried, unable to communicate to the dog that his wife wasn't coming home gets me every time. It's so well-played and expertly staged. Minnie Driver is so perfect as Grace.

I forgot how great this movie was. I saw it once when it first came out on video/DVD. I use to think I'd find this great love somewhere out there and I had lost hope for some time now. And here I am 7 months away from my 50th birthday and still waiting for that perfect one for me. Even though I've waited, I've regained hope. So with hope in my heart, I'll let you ladies know if I find her. Until then, great reactions. This movie made me tear up.

This is one of the most underrated rom coms. It’s so sweet.

This was a perfect movie for you both to watch. I watched your LIVE reaction to this and I wasn't even watching the movie along with it, but I could tell what scenes you were reacting to. I'm so glad that we got an edit for this movie, you were both so adorable. This is a very good romantic comedy with endearing characters who feel like regular people, without all of the cliche's attached to it, and practically devoid of vulgarity for a change. Duchovny & Driver have great chemistry together.

This was last movie of great Carroll O'Connor who played grandpa.

You gotta check out Minnie Driver in "Grosse Pointe Blank." She's adorable in it. The movie is funny and wild too. The whole concept of a professional hit man coming home to his 10 Year High School Reunion is really well done.

The leading man is David Duchovny, also seen in the comedies "Evolution" and "Zoolander". The best friend is Bonnie Hunt(who alsodirected the movie!), well-known for her voice work in films like "Momsters, Inc.", "Cars", and "Zootopia". This film was a beautiful finale to yhe career of Carroll O'Connor(Grandpa Marty). Oh, ad the Sinatra song you were thinking of was "Fly Me To The Moon".

I saw this in theatres with my gf when I was 15. Always thought the plot was great, my favorite 'chick flick' by far. I've always remembered how shattered Bob was returning home with Elizabeth. That scene hits hard. David Duchovney is super stud, Minnie Driver is gorgeous.

You can call it a chick flick but I loved it from when it was first released. David Dacuvny (sp?) is great and the scene after the wife dies and the dog won’t leave the door, wrecks me every time. Also I love the music and the older people. So great.

Side characters. Supporting Actors and Actresses. They deserve the accolades and respect they get. Couldn't be a film with out them.

Something my sisters and I love about this movie is all the somewhat random bits of humor that are found in everyday life. It's like what you were saying about side characters. One of my favorite moments is when Bob gets his truck back from the valet driver when he makes his getaway from the disastrous blind date, he has to move the seat way back because the valet driver was so much shorter. Such a simple moment that isn't important to the story at all, but it gives the movie a sense of reality because we've all experienced the need to adjust the seat in the car after someone else drove it.

So funny story: back when I was about 5-6 in kindergarten my mom actually rented this movie back when it was first released like 2001 from Blockbusters, it was one of my earliest recollections of BB. Fast forward to 2020 pandemic 20 years later this movie pops back up as a recommendation of all days “Christmas” fun little blast from the past I got to rewatch with my mom. ❤

A perfect movie. The way they take the time to let you fall for his wife, so they can devastate you with her death, so you can truly feel the joy of finding love again, is masterful. A lot of movies try, and fail, to do that. And yes, so many charming side roles fill the film with humor, color, life and joy. I wouldn't change a thing. So happy to watch it with you. Thanks.

I've seen this movie so many times and i cry each time especially how the dog stood at the door waiting for Elizabeth. Enjoyed it girls

This movie always makes me cry. It’s so special. And the dialogue and characters are just everything. It’s a beautiful film. And when I saw someone was gonna react to it, I stayed up til 1:20 am just to rewatch it with y’all.

I can already tell the girls are going to love this. This is my mother's favorite movie!

You will probably never see this but I wanted to tell you that whenever I’m having a bad day or just need to watch a comfort movie, I watch this reaction to this movie (one of my favorites). You will never know how much it means to me, I will put it on during my kemo sessions. I’ve probably watched it at least a dozen times. Thank you for being so incredibly sweet.

Y’all should watch David Duchovny in this movie called “House of D”. He wrote it, directed it and played a roll as well. His ex wife had a smaller part as well. It also stars the late Robin Williams and the late Anton Yelchin and Robin’s real daughter Zelda. It’s one of my favorites and really made me become a huge fan of Anton, his performance was phenomenal.

I really admire and like the actor Carroll O'Conner. Thank you for Popcorns for reacting to this movie!

I was so grateful at your original watch-along on Patreon, and I'm even happier that you now have a good YT edit so it can be seen by many more unsuspecting people! As I did before, I will repeat my assertion that this is my favorite film! It has the best in every aspect. best screenplay, best directing, most compelling and fully-realized supporting characters I've ever come across! For as long as movie reactors have been a thing (which isn't long!) I've been begging my favorite ones who do it for the love of movies to watch this gem - and you two did it, bless you! I really do hope my other favorite reactors follow suit! THANK YOU!! :)

You are the first reactors that I've seen react to this lovely little gem of a movie. I just love it!

This brings back memories. Writer/director/actress Bonnie Hunt used to talk about this movie on her talk show. She is also a former nurse. Carroll O'Connor, the grandfather, played Archie Bunker on the TV show All In The Family for 9 years. The guy with the hair transplant, Don Lake, was Bonnie's sidekick/comedic partner on her talk show. I remember him from Canadian TV commercials.

You´re right about the importance of side characters in these kind of movies. That´s what makes "When Harry Met Sally", "Sleepless in Seattle" etc. so good.

Have you two seen "Good Will Hunting"? Minnie Driver is in that one too. And it's an excellent movie! And yes, it will make you cry.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. I am so happy y'all not only got to see it but chose it to review. This movie totally changed my opinion of Minnie Driver as an actress. Duchovny did well, too!

PLEASE do "Only You" with Robert Downey Jr., Bonnie Hunt and Marissa Tomei. It's so sweet and funny, you two would love it!

I love all your reactions (solo and with your sister) but now I see that when you react to your favorite genre “Romance” movies they are my favorite. The emotions run deep from happy to sad back to happy!

Robert Loggia is the chef in the restaurant. He played the boss of the toy company where Tom Hank's character Josh Baskin works in the film "Big."

There's a reason I had a crush on 90s David Duchovney. That smile!

Did you not see Mini in 'Good will hunting'? - Well, there's an A-list for you

Everyone dancing at the end, with those 2 ending songs was perfect ❤❤❤

So glad you loved this movie,so do I🍿😁❤️

Thank you for watching one of more favorite movies. It’s a hidden gem for sure. This movie takes place in Chicago and another fun fact is that Bonnie Hunt (she plays Megan) actually wrote and directed this film. A similar movie I think you girls would enjoy is “A Stranger’s Heart” it’s a Hallmark movie made in 2007.

This is such a great movie! Many scenes are melodramatic, but they work. The music sets the right feeling at the right time . . .

One of my favorite movies. Saw it in theaters when I was about 16. Been waiting to someone to react to this and actually left that as a suggestion some time ago. *Fun Fact:* You are the ONLY reaction to this film on KZfaq! 👏👏👏 So thank you! 😊

I saw this when it first hit theaters, years ago. I've seen it a few times since, BUT, seeing it here with you and Carlie was just wobderful. All the main actors are among my favorites. They are all excellent. I think I had forgotten how much I like this film. It is definitely David Duchovney's best. Thank you.

David Duchovny was also great in the X Files, he and Gillian Anderson were such an iconic duo.

I forgot how much I love this movie. Thank you for reminding me ☺️

Wow. The amount of talent in this film is crazy. Totally under my radar. Now where's my tissue...

Yay! I'm so happy you released an edited watch long of this ♥ I couldn't find the movie to stream, but this is one I was very excited to see a reaction of! It is such a lovely rom-com with a lot of heart, and such awesome side characters and friendships. It feels a lot like While You Were Sleeping in that way. This movie still has one of the most heartbreaking starts, I cannot watch Bob break down after coming home from the hospital. It still breaks me 😭💔 But I adore the rest of the movie. So sweet and charming 💘~Caroline

I’m a guy and absolutely love this movie. And yes the supporting cast is amazing.

My wife and I saw this movie in the theater. We walked out in complete agreement that David Duchovny and Minnie Driver were good, but they both received an absolute masterclass in acting from Carroll O’Connor, Robert Loggia, Eddie Jones, and William Bronder.

There are so few movies that truly work without an antagonist. This is one of the few. The writing and execution are just perfect. And this is coming from a guy whose favorite movies are Tombstone, the Matrix, Star Wars and Gladiator. 😀

I am not a romcom type of guy, but this picture, with this actors are just fun to watch! Its a perfect casted film!! Each character is necessery and thats what makes this flic so good!

From 1995 check out Minnie Driver in "Circle of Friends" with Chris O'Donnell. I liked it when it came out, but haven't seen it in years so don't know how well it has aged. Loved your reaction by the way.

Sooo glad you choose to review this movie. It’s one of those gems you come across that you fall in love with❤️ May I suggest another gem? It’s called Tea With Mussolini. It’s not a romantic comedy. In fact it’s based on the early life of Frederick Fellini. A famous Italian movie director. Lots of quirky characters played by Judy Dench, Maggie Smith and Cher. I hope you can give it a go.

I’ve re-watched this reaction three times now. I love this movie and love watching you fall in love with it, too! If you like behind-the-scenes stuff, I highly recommend getting the DVD and watching it with the commentary. Bonnie Hunt, who plays the sister, was one of the writers and she tells a lotta fun stories!

I had written and hoped you'd get a chance to watch RETURN TO ME, I always watch the full version and the YT edit - it's an old-fashioned love story so innocent, sweet, and sincere. This is a beautiful story of finding true love, knowing how lucky you are to have true love and the power of friendship and family. Return To Me is a beautiful romance; the lead actors and cast were terrific in their roles. I could not picture anyone else playing these characters. It's sensitive and believable, and the movie was good because of the love of family and life. Family, friends, and finding love again, what more could you ask for? You and your sister are suckers for a good romance and you want a good cry, tears of joy, and some laughs, and a happy ending - then this is the film for you. It will be on your list of favorites. They don't make Romcoms like this anymore. Thank you, your precious sister, and the team that help brings your reactons to the hearts of those who love you and what you do.

I am so excited you found this absolute gem. I LOVE this movie. Thanks for the good cry. This movie always gets me. I've owned this movie for decades.

Carly is the only KZfaq person that can get me to watch certain movies 💯

I’ll admit this is a film I'm not overly fond of. My mom really likes it a lot though. One moment I do get a big kick out of is when Jim Belushi’s character jumps to the wrong conclusion about Bob being married, and how he gets protective and offers to beat Bob up. And after he hears the line, “Grace has Bob's dead wife's heart!” upon processing the rather odd statement how he calms down and says, “He's not married? Huh. Ok.” That part I do like.

Glad you ladies loved this one! I'm admittedly not a big fan of rom-coms, but I've always enjoyed Return to Me. Part of it is the writing, part of it (as you two pointed out yourselves) are the wonderful side characters -- they really make this movie. Great reaction!

Three words. Somewhere In Time. One if the most beautiful romances ever. The only movie I have ever left where every woman coming out of the threatre was crying. Every one.

Hey Girls, So first to clarify Bing had 4 sons and one of them was very troubled, the troubled one made the accusations. none of it was true, the other three sided with their dad. Also the old Goomba's yacking back and forth is SO ACURATE!!!! it's like watching a family reunion for me. So happy you liked it!

Sinatra Songs you may know: Fly me to the moon Just the Way you look tonight My Way New York, New York Let it snow Strangers in the night

This was such a precious movie. The first time I watched it, it became an instant favorite for me. ♥️

This is ONE of my FAVORITE underrated movies...

4:43 -- that old guy is Dick Cusack, father of (among others) John and Joan and Ann. Famous Chicago acting family.

ah finally! there are NO reactions that i could find to this amazing movie.. yours is the only one and honestly, i couldn't think of anyone else besides you two that i'd have liked to see react to it more! wonderful movie and wonderful reaction!

David Duchovny is the star of The X Files. He and Gillian Anderson play the characters Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. It's an amazing series you should check out.

This movie is the most Capraesque movie done in the last 30 years. I love it. The "old people" are the jewels in this movie.

if I might suggest a few more like this? Music From Another Room, Mannequin, Midnight Masquerade, kate and leopold, just visiting, yes man, finest hours, Silver Streak, Bye bye Birdie 95, Funny Face, Daddy Long Legs 55, The Secret of My Success, For Love Or Money, And Joe Somebody.

Was fun watching this live with you and found it just as fun watching the edited version. You two had a great reaction to a marvelous movie. Still one of my all time favorites even after seeing it dozens of times over the years.

Obviously it’s different, but I’ve got multiple surgery scars on my neck and it’s definitely one of the first things people notice when they meet me 🥴 Hard not to feel self conscious!

Glad you guys enjoyed this so much. Such a great "date night" movie. Minnie Driver is a fabulous actress. If you liked this, try watching "The Vow" with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. A very similar type of movie - maybe more drama than comedy, but it's based on a true story and you'll fall in love with both characters. Love watching your reviews!

I am so glad to see someone react to this movie. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. I loved watching how much you loved it.

One of my favourite scenes, oddly, is when the dad (granddad?) Says 'show me the face' and she smiles! I dunno why. LOL

This is ny favorite of all time and yet so many people have not seen it. It deserves much more attention. ❤

Minnie Driver is fantastic ! Not only was she in one of my favorite movies ever - Good Will Hunting - but she was also a voice actress in one of my even-more-favorite movies ever... Princess Mononoke! :D GO MINNIE! Also, my love for Fox Mulder well... it knows no bounds.

I own this movie because it gives all the feels and is so heartwarming. A fun RomCom I recommend has Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo is "Just Like Heaven". I think you will love it.

I haven't seen this movie in years! Very underrated, just like David Duchovny, he has some really good movies, definitely more that the character of Fox Mulder.

I love watching the 2 of you so happy and smiling. Beautiful. ❤

One of my fav romcoms!! Thanks for watching this!! I adore it!!
