Plot: Handsome young Washington attorney Louie Jeffries (Chris McDonald) has it all: a promising career, a beautiful wife, and a baby on the way. But after discovering a local judge is in cahoots with the Mob, Louie bites it in a car crash and finds himself in Heaven. Unsatisfied with the customer service he's receiving, Louie jumps the gun and gets himself reincarnated -- before being administered the magic injection that will remove his memories of his former life. For the next quarter-century, Louie's museum curator wife, Corinne (Cybill Shepherd), remains true to her husband's memory, ignoring the frustrated devotion of Louie's best friend, Philip Train (Ryan O'Neal). Meanwhile, Louie's soul grows up in the body of Alex Finch (Robert Downey Jr.), an aspiring journalist. Alex's memories of his life as Louie return after he becomes romantically involved with Miranda (Mary Stuart Masterson) -- the daughter he never got to meet. Soon, Alex/Louie is romancing his wife, spurning his daughter's advances, and frustrating Philip's attempts finally to woo Corinne. Written by Mystic Pizza scribes Perry and Randy Howze and directed by Emile Ardolino of Dirty Dancing fame, Chances Are didn't score as well at the box office as those earlier comedies. Its soundtrack, however, generated the hit Peter Cetera and Cher ballad After All. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

Nice romantic movie
Added 10/11/2009

I enjoyed this years ago; it's a sweet romance. Robert Downey Jr, Mary Stuart Masterson, Cybill Shepard and Ryan O'Neal give this romantic comedy a lot of charm.

One of my favorite movies

Chances Are is one of my all time favorite movies. Such a fun romantic comedy. The music in this movie is great too. The wedding scene at the end of the movie is so romantic and touching too with one of my favorite songs. A real feel good movie. Be sure to watch this if you're having a bad day.

Definitely an 80s classic. Not the most well-known film out there, but it's absolutely great.

likeable movie
Added 3/30/2009

This is one of the rare romantic comedies that comes off making you feel good. In spite of all the potentially creepy or awkward scenes it actually ends up being cute and heartwarming. It's also one of those movies where little details are tied to later plot developments making the whole thing seem more tidy and well-developed. Of course you have to be open to a small suspension of disbelief to accept the reincarnation device and the idea that so many things hadn't changed in the 23 years between the death of Louie and the arrival of Alex, but these things are really minor. This one is definitely worth having in the collection.

My daughter loved it
Added 3/23/2009

I bought this movie with hopes of my daughter liking it. She is a big time Robert Downey Jr. fan. She didn't like it, she LOVED it! The movie was received in great condition and works just fine. No problem what so ever with this seller or the product. Would buy from again!!!
