This film has gotten a bad rap, but it is actually a sweet film about second chances. Lucy Chadman (Bubbly Shelly Long)is an embarrassment to her vain husband Jason (Corbin Bernsen), but loved by her quirky sister (Judith Ivey) and her son. One day, she dies (Choking to death on a oriental chicken ball). One year later, thanks to her sister's book of spells, Lucy comes back to life. She soon finds that a lot has changed: her husband has married her friend, Kim(Sela Ward). Lucy then becomes attracted to the doctor that tried to save her the year before (Gabriel Byrne). Soon, her secret is out and Kim, afraid that her new hubby would go back to her, decides to cause trouble for Lucy.
Sure the film may sound typical, even formulaic (You pretty much have a feeling how things will work out and who ends up with whom), but it's still a funny, sweet film. Worth checking out.
