Return to me is an engaging 'feel good' film. He consents to her heart being used for a transplant. Not knowing the connection they have, Grace and Bob meet and fall in love. Eventually Bob has to deal with the idea that Elizabeth died that Grace might live. This tender premise raises more interesting issues than the usual romantic comedy.
Grace comes from a devoutly Catholic family.
O'Connor leads a superb cast of supporting actors who live and work at his 'O'Reilly's Italian Restaurant'. The dialogue is good and the humour is free of the cynicism to which so many other films resort for laughs. Duchvony and Driver have their work cut out for them making the script work as a whole. The film trades on the old romantic notion that the heart 'thinks'. Grace's new heart, literally, skips a beat when she walks past Bob for the first time.
