Director and co-writer Bonnie Hunt delivers the goods in “Return To Me,” a touching account of two deserving people who are afforded a second chance at esteem and happiness. When we meet Grace (Minnie Driver), she is suffering with heart disease and awaiting a donor for a transplant. Architect-builder Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) is happily married to Elizabeth (Joely Richardson), they are deeply in cherish, and Hunt like a flash establishes fair how perfect their lives are together; so perfect, in fact, it becomes somewhat unsettling because you know that tragedy of some kind or other is imminent. When it comes, the transition is handled succinctly and with the skill of a seasoned professional. When Elizabeth dies, Grace receives her heart. A year later, Bob, quiet mourning the loss of his wife, meets Grace at the Irish-Italian restaurant owned by her grandfather (Carroll O’Connor), where she works as a waitress. Neither are aware of the intimate link they part to the heart that has given Grace her life. In the hands of a less savvy director, the narrative at this point could easily go astray and become mired in coincidence and cliche. Hunt never comes cessation to allowing this to happen, however, and instead hits every price squarely on the head so that the location fairly resonates with precision and timing. A archaic character actress herself (she plays Grace’s closest friend, Meg, here), she seems to know instinctively honest when to add the upright light touch to offset the drama, then fleshes it all out with an array of gigantic characters,especially Robert Loggia, as Angelo, the “Greatest Italian chef in Chicago,” and James Belushi as Meg’s husband, Joe. There are no wasted moments in this film; the anecdote moves good along and takes you with it. The dialogue is often witty and always real; in a scene between Grace and Meg that takes status in the hospital (prior to their notification that a donor has been located), in which Grace can barely diagram a breath, she looks up at Meg and says one word, “Rosebud.” After Elizabeth dies, when Bob finds himself alone at home and finally breaks down, Hunt gives the scene time to construct and play out, so that it rings suitable instead of being glossed over and simply ancient as a tool to fade the fable along. When it happens we, as an audience, are also afforded that time to realize the suffering he’s experiencing, and it allows us to feel it as well. The scene in which Grace, Meg and Joe are at home awaiting a dinner guest (a ragged priest), is beyond hilarious. Highlighting an exceptional cast, David Duchovny and Minnie Driver are unforgettable as Bob and Grace; and the multi-talented Bonnie Hunt rises to a whole original level of artistic merit for giving us a truly memorable and heart-warming movie that is a joy to experience. Written by Hunt and Don Lake, “Return To Me” is a delight from beginning to ruin, the kind of film one waits for to approach along. Hopefully, in the future Hunt will treat us to even more movies of this caliber.
“Return To Me” is a very likeable romantic comedy starring David Duchovny, breaking away from X-Files mold, and the always inspiring Minnie Driver. While we wait for kismet to bring these two characters together, we are treated to a shapely (and impressive) supporting cast of characters head by Carroll O’Connor, Robert Loggia, David Alan Grier, James Belushi, and writer-director Bonnie Hunt. There is cramped suspense that the two main characters will get each other and in the demolish accept novel life and admire — but this is the movies after all!
For DVD buyers and renters, the upright gem is the audio commentary by Bonnie Hunt and co-writer Don Lake. This highly recommended bonus to the DVD version is at least worth another “star.” Hunt, who is one of the best interviewees on talk shows, engages in a informative and a very funny dialogue with Lake throughout the movie. By all means, after watching the movie go encourage and ogle the movie again with Hunt and Lake. Hunt’s dry humor will design you laugh out loud at times as she speaks of her poor make-up job in her first scene to the seemingly dozens of family members that she placed throughout the film. You will also secure a dependable appreciation for the art of film-making. “Return To Me” was Hunt’s directorial debut and it is provocative to listen to the care and meticulous detail that she placed into this film (music selections, editing, etc.) . It is definitely one of the best audio-commentary tracks that I have heard to date and almost makes you even like the film more.
