Considered to be one of Steven Spielberg's worst movies a massive flop at the time of release in 1989. I never got round to watching it until today when it was on TV, and in the absence of anything else on, I decided to give it a go.
The likable cast is headed by Richard Dreyfuss as the spirit of a recently deceased expert pilot who mentors a newer pilot, while watching him fall in love with his surviving girlfriend.
I can't praise the cast enough of this movie enough here. The still gorgeous Katherine Hepburn (in her last role), Holly Hunter and John Goodman offer stellar support to Dreyfuss who is on top form.
A good movie for me is one that does not end with the credits, and this one stayed with me for a while after it's heartwarming conclusion.
All the lead characters seem nice people to hang out with, and I'm not gonna lie, I shed a year at the end too.
Given the talent involved, I'm surprised this failed to find an audience, and I think If it was sold it differently it might have done differently.
