    • Trivia
      Robert Downey Jr has claimed this one of his favorite films that he has starred in.
    • Goofs
      While the "guardian angels" are supposed to be invisible, they cast shadows. However, the shadows are obviously invisible as well, since no one but Thomas reacts.
    • Quotes

      Harrison Winslow: Who came up with this ridiculous concept anyway? Resolve your entire life in one bold stroke? What if I fail? And I will. I'll fail. I'm telling you. I always fail. Then my whole life will be a complete failure.

      Thomas Reilly: No offense, Harrison. But you died a failure because you never tried.

    One of the better comedies ever produced.
    The movie, reminiscent of "Ghost" or "Heaven Can Wait," (but a little different) has a plot that has been done before...but no way as well.

    The interaction, alone, between the five main characters is worth seeing. The acting is superb. The comedy ranges from subtle to almost slapstick, and the production addresses your funny bone, your mind, and your heart.

    This movie is a classic sleeper. Your whole family should see it!
