This movie deserves a much higher rating. Robin Williams is as talented with drama as he is with comedy. Unfortuneatly his dramatic works seems to be a series of good movies which slipped through the cracks. I've found him excellent in all.
You don't have to agree with the concepts of life and death, and Heaven and Hell, to enjoy this movie. One concept has been taken here and presented beautifully. Special effects were fantastic for their time, and having just watched it again, still stand up well now. That's because the story is the vehicle here, CGI just one of the tools used. This is a love story through and through, and at a time when I needed it, reminded me of what true love is really supposed to be about.
To all who called this a classic, I agree absolutely. After so many years it still resonates with me as much as it did when I first saw it. Robin Williams is so underrated. And Ms. Sciorra shines in this movie too. I give it a ten with no equivocation whatsoever.
