Warning: Spoilers
Chances Are is a 1989 romantic fantasy comedy starring Cybrill Sheppard,Mary Stuart Matheson,Ryan O 'Neal,Robert Downey Jr and Christopher McDonald.

From the director of Sister Act and 3 Men And A Lady,the story follows Louie Jeffries(McDonald) who is happily married to Corinne(Sheppard). Tragedy strikes however when on their first wedding anniversary, Louie is killed after getting knocked down by a car while crossing the road.

Louie then finds himself stuck in heaven,and is desperate to go back to Earth again to be with Corinne. He ends up getting reincarnated as Alex Finch(Downey Jr), a young Yale student who becomes smitten with another student Miranda(Mathseon).

It's not until Alex meets Phillip(O'Neal) a former friend of Louie's who gets invited back to Louie's house. From there Alex starts getting flashbacks on another person's life and discovers his real identity,his really Louie.

Will Louie come back to Earth again or will Alex stay?. Yes the story does sound absurd as a reincarnated man falls for his daughter and no one believes that his reincarnated. But overall it was a good flick.
