I watched this at home on a Sunday night after a hectic weekend and was just what I needed, an easy-going often humourous film. The story itself is very similar to It's a Wonderful Life and Mr Destiny. It has Nic Cage taking a breather from action roles and the always watchable Tea Leoni as the leads. The plot moves along at a quick pace with the director seeming to be trying impossibly hard not to over sentimentalize proceedings. All in all if you have a couple of hours to kill and you dont want to have to think about things too much, you could do a lot worse than watch this.
