Trivia:
Shortly before production began, Whoopi Goldberg was not sure that she was going to be able to put this movie into her work schedule. The part was then verbally offered to Jackée Harry who accepted. However, at the last minute Goldberg was able to do the film and Harry was dropped. more
Goofs:
Errors in geography: Sam boards an IND line train at Franklin Avenue, which is underground. We do not see him change trains. We see a IRT (#9) train emerging from underground to an elevated station (Dykmon Street, which is uptown). He gets off a BMT line train at the Myrtle/Wykoff station, which is elevated, in Brooklyn. This trip is impossible without changing trains, also Sam and Molly lived in SoHo, which is downtown and the Myrtle/Wykoff station is in Brooklyn. more
Quotes:
Emergency Room Ghost: [seeing Sam's body] Shot, huh? That'll do it every time. more

This is a good film, 17 August 2001
8/10
Author: mm-39 from Winnipeg

My wife loves this film, and I found it more then a romance movie. A intriguing story, of deception, death, the after life, and greed. This is a great film, with character you care about, suspense, romance, and a fresh script. This film made Patricks carrier, and after this film he chose a few films that killed his chances of acting in higher budget films. I believe if he picked a couple more scripts like this one he would be on the same level as Tom Cruse. I think the politically correct 90's found him too macho for their tastes, and it drove him to do that film about India which helped kill his carrier. In the end this film is a little about what Patrick could have been, a true international star.
