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.
Several of her family members have small roles in the film as well. The boy who takes care of the dog is her nephew (How do I look? Tall). I actually met her once and like a dorky fan I mentioned how much I loved this movie. She was super kind and down to earth.
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.
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!
Wow Jennifer, I had no idea this was Bonnie Hunt's project! After years of solid work as the witty, loyal friend to the lead in so many films, it makes sense that she paid special attention to all the supporting characters.
@@skylinerunner1695 Yes, she did such an incredible job, I'm sure all her experience really contributed to her great job at directing. I wish she would do more of this.
The supporting characters are exceptional, they're warm and real. This is a film not just about romantic love, but also about love of family and friends as well, and the whole rich tapestry comes through so beautifully.
@@jenniferfoster1692 I agree, Jennifer. I'm sure she has plenty of other screenplays and ideas, but simply hasn't been given the chance or they didn't materialise. She wrote and directed this film, what more does she have to do to prove she deserves a budget!? Come on, Hollywood. Grrrrrrr
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.
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 TH-cam and I thank you for that.
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
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.
My former boss is a cardiologist and his wife is a nurse practitioner specialized in heart transplant. In some cases she needs to get the heart from a donor within 6 hours then lock it into a case with ice and fly back via a helicopter to a surgery operating room full of surgeons. When one family's loss and selflessness can help to save another person's life, she says, that's the meaning of her job. Your wife will be remembered!
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.
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.
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.
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!! :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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. 😀
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.)
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.
@ Goya Soldier: I did type in his name correctly, however auto correct thought differently and I did not see the change when I clicked send So spelling police take your head out of your a$$
The XXXX ad was a funny one, especially at school, we changed the tag to 'I can see my house from 'ere', also here's a fun fact, the bloke playing Snowy had a part in the Croc Dundee films, but as I don't come from OZ, I got no idea if he ever appeared in anything else.
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!
I’d forgotten Joel’s Richardson was in this movie! She’s so talented; another member of the Redgrave acting dynasty. I guess that makes her a “nepo baby.” 🤷♀️😉
I've gotten so used to watching you ladies react to things out of your normal comfort zone, it was such a treat to see you back at home in your element. I wish I could have seen you watch my personal favorite romance 'The Time Traveller's Wife' for the first time. And Cassie, if you're reading this, I still say that you'd make the best sister-in-law in the world ;)
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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. ❤
I always wanted you to see this movie, one of my favorite Rom-coms. Now you have to watch my favorite - It Happened One Night (1934). Directed by Frank Capra who also directed It's A Wonderful Life. Oh and watch Mr Deeds Goes to Town too.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 TH-cam! 👏👏👏 So thank you! 😊
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.
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!
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!
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".
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.
Thank you so much for showing this very special film - why David Duchovny did not go on to do more films is a mystery, but he and Minnie Driver were perfect!
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.
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.
Thank you for reacting to one of my all-time favorite movies! You two made watching it with you feel like the first time I saw it. Sad, but sweet and lovely romance.
I think that's why I'm addicted to reaction channels. It feels so amazing to experience something you really enjoy for the first time again (kind of lol). That's why i love this channel bc they feel ALL the emotions and get very invested and have just the sweetest observations.
One of the best movies ever!! Love every bit of it and all of the characters in it!!! Have seen it at least four times and will watch it again!!! Perfect!! Everyone did a fantastic job!!
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.
I agree with you. The character development in this movie is just outstanding.
Several of her family members have small roles in the film as well. The boy who takes care of the dog is her nephew (How do I look? Tall). I actually met her once and like a dorky fan I mentioned how much I loved this movie. She was super kind and down to earth.
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.
@@LtDan-rk4si hope you and pup were able to get through it together. 🫂
And then it walked in in the form of grace
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 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.
To loved ones, scars are merely dimples. I don't have the pleasue of knowing you, but I'm glad you're still here and going strong. Chris.

He’s great in Evolution and Zoolander too.

I agree. Get to it, ladies.
THIS!
Bonnie Hunt is a genius...she made this film!❤❤❤
So sweet!!! The beauty of this movie was the inclusion of the older characters. Loved them.
One of my wife and mine's favorite under the radar movies! "I ache for Grace" ❤ Both meanings of that line are so powerful!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I missed the double meaning until I read your comment. You're right, it is indeed a powerful line.
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.
Bonnie Hunt, in addition to being WONDERFUL in this movie also DIRECTED the movie! I LOVE this movie! Great choice!

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?".
The Family Man is a great movie, so enjoyable!
they should do Spanglish too
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.
Grosse Point Blank is highly underrated, and I too,hope they get to that one.
Don't forget " Beautiful (2000)".

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.
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.)
So glad you loved this movie,so do I🍿😁❤️
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.
Federico. Please do not besmirch the great man's legacy by reducing him to 'Frederick.'
@ Goya Soldier: I did type in his name correctly, however auto correct thought differently and I did not see the change when I clicked send
So spelling police take your head out of your a$$
It's actually based on the early life of Franco Zeffirelli, the films director. Not Fellini.
The XXXX ad was a funny one, especially at school, we changed the tag to 'I can see my house from 'ere', also here's a fun fact, the bloke playing Snowy had a part in the Croc Dundee films, but as I don't come from OZ, I got no idea if he ever appeared in anything else.
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!
This is one of the most underrated rom coms. It’s so sweet.
There's a reason I had a crush on 90s David Duchovney. That smile!
I’d forgotten Joel’s Richardson was in this movie! She’s so talented; another member of the Redgrave acting dynasty. I guess that makes her a “nepo baby.” 🤷♀️😉
I've gotten so used to watching you ladies react to things out of your normal comfort zone, it was such a treat to see you back at home in your element. I wish I could have seen you watch my personal favorite romance 'The Time Traveller's Wife' for the first time.
And Cassie, if you're reading this, I still say that you'd make the best sister-in-law in the world ;)
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.
This was last movie of great Carroll O'Connor who played grandpa.
This is such a great movie! Many scenes are melodramatic, but they work. The music sets the right feeling at the right time . . .
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
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.
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 forgot how much I love this movie. Thank you for reminding me ☺️
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 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!
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. ❤
I always wanted you to see this movie, one of my favorite Rom-coms. Now you have to watch my favorite - It Happened One Night (1934). Directed by Frank Capra who also directed It's A Wonderful Life. Oh and watch Mr Deeds Goes to Town too.
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.
One of my faves! Thanks ladies!
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.
David Duchovny was also great in the X Files, he and Gillian Anderson were such an iconic duo.
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.
I love watching the 2 of you so happy and smiling. Beautiful. ❤
Wow. The amount of talent in this film is crazy. Totally under my radar. Now where's my tissue...
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?
I really enjoy Carrol O'Connor in some movies & love him in this one, but I always hated the show All In The Family... still can't stand it.
O'Connor's last movie, which feels so poignant.
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 TH-cam! 👏👏👏
So thank you! 😊
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.
One of my fav romcoms!! Thanks for watching this!! I adore it!!
What ever accomplishment... is
there appreciation is the future
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.
Everyone dancing at the end, with those 2 ending songs was perfect ❤❤❤
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!
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!
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".
Carly is the only TH-cam person that can get me to watch certain movies 💯
PLEASE do "Only You" with Robert Downey Jr., Bonnie Hunt and Marissa Tomei. It's so sweet and funny, you two would love it!
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.
I always remembered the "hairy legs are your only link to reality" line when I got ready for dates. 😂 It's very solid dating advice.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Thanks for the reaction. As always, great.
This is one of my all-time favourite movies. I’m so glad you’re reacting to it!
Thank you so much for showing this very special film - why David Duchovny did not go on to do more films is a mystery, but he and Minnie Driver were perfect!
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.
David Duchovny plays one of my favorite tv characters Fox Mulder from The X-Files one of the best tv shows ever!
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.
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.
Thank you for reacting to one of my all-time favorite movies! You two made watching it with you feel like the first time I saw it. Sad, but sweet and lovely romance.
I think that's why I'm addicted to reaction channels. It feels so amazing to experience something you really enjoy for the first time again (kind of lol). That's why i love this channel bc they feel ALL the emotions and get very invested and have just the sweetest observations.
Great reaction, ladies. You HAVE to watch "Something's Gotta Give".
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."
One of the best movies ever!!
Love every bit of it and all of the characters in it!!!
Have seen it at least four times and will watch it again!!!
Perfect!! Everyone did a fantastic job!!
Terrific reaction to a heartwarming, entertaining movie stuffed with lovable characters. One of my favourites.
