I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but I don't remember it being an outright comedy... But this trailer makes it seem like it is. - @Tuesday, August 14, 2018 3:22 AM

Robert was great in this movie. His comedy was spot on, but always hated the ending! The real chemistry was with his WIFE, not his daughter! - @Monday, June 4, 2018 11:47 PM

SPOILER ALERT What I dobt understand is the girls mom knows that it's her dad "Robert Downey Jrs" reincarnated but she still allows them to be together at the end of the film. So basically her dads fucking her at the end... Maybe theirs some moral story to the film but that's fucked up.. - @Saturday, June 18, 2016 6:51 AM

Is anyone creeped out about the premise of this movie? A guy is murdered, gets reincarnated, and becomes his daughter's boyfriend! Doesn't it come off as a sick form of incest? What were those studio executives at Tri-Star smoking when they green lit this? - @Sunday, September 15, 2013 12:24 AM

@thexxgirlxxsmiles I know, the trailer doesn't help much...It's about a man that is hit by a car on his first wedding anniversary in the 60's and is reincarnated as someone else. There was a problem when an angel or something forgot to give him a shot that made him forget about his past life. So when he is 23 years old, he meets his daughter, and then his old wife and begins remembering. He convinces his wife to believe him, and things get crazy. - @Monday, July 9, 2012 3:08 AM
