Dragged out on a blind date a year after his wife's tragic death, grieving architect Bob Rueland finds an unexpected spark not with his date, but with Grace, the sharp-witted waitress at a lively Irish-Italian restaurant. Unbeknownst to Bob, Grace is the recipient of his late wife's donated heart. As they grow closer, their romance offers the promise of healing and the weight of a secret that could tear them apart.

Old-fashioned as all get-out, Return to Me is swathed in an unabashed feel-good tone.

fresh:
So innocent, so naive, so sweet and sincere, that you must leave your cynicism at the door or choose another movie.

fresh:
The film builds an implausible scenario into a credible and utterly charming romantic comedy.

fresh:
First-time director Bonnie Hunt has taken what could have been an incredibly sappy story and used her sense of comedic timing to fashion a date flick that even the guys might enjoy.
