I love this movie. I watch it over and over and over. My husband comes home and says are you watching this AGAIN. It has everything. I love the store and the little restaurant that is run by the Son after her passing.It's full of magic and makes me feel just great after watching it. It makes me cry each time I watch it too. Some people would think it is a little dated but not me I think its perfect. The clothing that they wear is fun. I also really like the actress they used for the Son's wife. She is full of fun. The psychic store is just beautiful and I love the crazy sister, Zelda. Shelley Long plays a great part in it. It is also a reminder of making your dreams come true while you are here. Finding your passion and making it happen. Abundant Blessings everyone. Sharon

Shelly Long has proved herself to be very versatile in comedy. While this is not a complicated movie -- nor one of the best acted, it is one of the best acted that Shelly Long has done. The story is simple, but one that I'm sure most people have dreamed about. "What would happen to my family if I no longer 'existed'." A perfect world is not available in life -- or death, but on the screen it works. Even though it won no awards for acting, I find that it is one of the most entertaining movies I have seen -- one that needs to be added to a personal library, along with one of Shelly Long's funniest movies to be seen: Troop Beverly Hills.

This film has gotten a bad rap, but it is actually a sweet film about second chances. Lucy Chadman (Bubbly Shelly Long)is an embarrassment to her vain husband Jason (Corbin Bernsen), but loved by her quirky sister (Judith Ivey) and her son. One day, she dies (Choking to death on a oriental chicken ball). One year later, thanks to her sister's book of spells, Lucy comes back to life. She soon finds that a lot has changed: her husband has married her friend, Kim(Sela Ward). Lucy then becomes attracted to the doctor that tried to save her the year before (Gabriel Byrne). Soon, her secret is out and Kim, afraid that her new hubby would go back to her, decides to cause trouble for Lucy.Sure the film may sound typical, even formulaic (You pretty much have a feeling how things will work out and who ends up with whom), but it's still a funny, sweet film. Worth checking out.
