Our family gathered together for a fun, warming film. We enjoyed it!
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019
This movie is completely enjoyable. It's a fun movie with great characters in a feel-good comedy story. It's a magical reality film that was ahead of its time.
I don't think the critics of the early nineties knew what to do with it. Maybe it didn't have enough dire and convoluted themes for the critics, I really don't know. Reviews were poor but when I talk to people about it, if they've see it, they love it.
For one thing, Demi Moore plays a psychic from rural South Carolina, simple but not stupid, a young woman determined to find her destiny. I don't think critics wanted to see her in that role but she is delightful. Mary Steenburgen is a mousy church choir director who desperately wants to be a Blues singer. She manages to create a character that I absolutely recognize, someone who is funny and quirky, but not a stereotype. Jeff Daniels is a psychiatrist who overthinks everything and so of course he is, as my father used to say, "cruisin' for a bruisin'" when it comes to romance.
There is also a charming lesbian love story subplot with Frances McDormand, something unusual for the time. Colorful local characters fill out the cast and very successfully create an urban fantasy wonderland.
It's really hard to find a good magical realism film, but this movie is one of the best. I think it's going to become more popular as time goes on and people start to realize what it is and quit trying to make it what it isn't.
Watch this movie and you'll go to a magical place and have a great time.

Excellent cast in a romantic movie. Love is good and at the end, all things work even when they are not what we expected.
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020
This is a sweet romantic comedy in which a clairvoyant played by a blonde (Demi Moore) named Marina, mistakes a butcher from New York (George Dzundza), for her predestined husband that had come to her in a dream. They immediately get married. George, who can't believe his luck, takes his bride back to New York, where her magical powers have a positive affect on the entire neighborhood including George's customers.
As everyone seems to be getting their lives together following Marina's advice, the local psychiatrist, (Jeff Daniels), is becoming more disrupted. He's losing patients. They don't need him anymore. And he is fighting this strong attraction towards "The Butcher's Wife." At the same time that George is spooked by Marina knowing things before they happen, Marina is realizing that she can see others futures much clearer than her own.
The film uses several phenomena for meeting a love mate, making love stronger, seal love, bringing about love, luck and happiness. This is played for fun. This is not a witchcraft movie.
Directed by Terry Hughes. Also starring Mary Steenburgen, who sings in this film. The DVD was in new condition with great picture and sound. Front and back covers in English. No Special Features.

I thought the movie was kind of a cute and mystical romantic comedy, but the writing could have been a bit better. I actually liked Demi Moore in this role, and it gave some depth to her overall acting spectrum. Jeff Daniels was hilarious in his role of the know it all Shrink, who does not know it all. I would watch it again but it is a "light" movie and I wish it had a bit more depth and better writing.

Very cute fun movie to watch, no violence, sex or bad language, so good for the whole family, although the theme is above and will not keep the very small interested
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021
this film is a real sleeper. It is loaded with star power and the actors deliver first rate performances, especially the females. The story requires the viewer to use her/his imagination to make the film click. The plot is easy to handle, and the romanice liaisons develop in a steady and reassuring way. Demi Moore, Frances McDormon and Mary Steenburgen are terrific in this film.

Light hearted tale of love triangles
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2014
When this was released in 1991 it was termed a light comedy, nowadays it's a Rom/com [romantic comedy] film, It actually falls somewhere between the two, it's lively, funny [but not the outright belly laughs] in that it brings on many smiles and ooh aah moments and deals with relationships in a romantic way.
Marina [Demi Moore] has been raised by her mum on tales of romance being revealed in the signs around her which will lead her to her true love. Fast forward many years and she thinks that she's seen her future husband (George Dzundza) in her dreams when he suddenly beaches his row boat on her beach. They instantly marry and move to the city where Leo runs his butcher shop. Immediately Marina displays her clairvoyant powers on the local community changing their lives forever and enraging local psychiatrist Alex [Jeff Daniels],
The film doesn't contain a great deal of features but it does come with some 15 different languages!. This is refreshing in that it does not contain swearing, sex or violence, but relies solely on it's humorous script and interwoven character threads. It's not to be taken seriously as many of the plotlines are highly improbable [getting married on the day they meet] but it is fun to watch and it's clever how the characters all interact with one another. Not a brain teaser but if it's a light hearted time passer you want, this could be a good choice and if you like it, you'll probably tend to watch it more than once.
