Return to Me (2000)
7/10
This movie is a joke
1 May 2000
This movie shows its true intentions when Bob(David Duchovny) arrives home after his wife's death. His tuxedo shirt is covered with her blood, splattered on him like action painting!! The movie is covered with these insane details and contrivances. Grace works at a Irish/Italian resturant! Businessman with cream cheese mustaches and Bob and Grace's screamingly obnoxious blind dates. Potty mouthed children and old, kind hearted, wise looking grandfathers, who speak nothing but banalities. The 6,8, marked cooking bibs. And don't miss how so many beer bottles and cell phones are placed near and point away from (David Duchovny)'s special place. But whatever you do, don't let the profound symbolism of the caged gorilla fly over your head. The gorilla is truely the symbolic heart of the movie. Well, asides from the still beating heart of Bob's dead wife. Don't let the movie's title, so sentimental, irrelevant, and cliche, mislead you. Don't let the blended volume of dialogue and background noise make you think its incompetent. Definitely don't let its formula and shallowness make you think its idiotic. The movie is so absurdly contrived that it has to be either a huge joke or a god awful mess. I saw the former, This movie was made to be made fun of, or at least to enjoy the sillyness.
