Great chemistry between Streep and Brooks. Really wish the afterlife was just like this
One of the best fictionalizations of the afterlife, and Albert Brooks’ most complete film. Comedy, romance, philosophy…
My favorite Brooks film. Such a pleasant and introspective experience.
How is this so lost to time. Brooks is a master of the uninformed lead comedies of all time. He’s always a confident idiot and I love it
Fantastic concepts, funny one-liners, forgotten James Brooks and Meryl Streep comedy classic.
Breezy romantic comedy that’s also a lighthearted take on the afterlife, amusing & creative, not very deep but enjoyable overall, good cast
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would; but the STI lines, and the ending…
The values propagated by this movie are definitely of its time, but it is a funny trip all the way.
Good example of what it really matters in life
One of the most perfect screenplays ever put to film. Some dated acting and not particularly stylishly filmed.
