I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Dana
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Francene Odetta
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Lori Anderson (Sarah Jessica Parker) fell off her horse and is in a coma. The movie is told in a flashback. She is still struggling to come to terms with her father's death. The family horse ranch is struggling. She's not happy that her mother Betty wants to remarry to Sheriff Alec Peiski. Terry Stockton is flying a single engine plane with his friend Paul Bart when they crash in the woods. Lori finds a terribly injured Terry. She falls off her horse and hits her head. When she comes to, she goes to look for her horse and finds Terry riding her. Later, she discovers that Terry is actually dead. They reveal his condition to Paul. While Terry can move stuff, she's the only one who can see him.The production is bad. It looks like a weaker TV movie. SJP is cute. Her naivety is adorable although a bit silly. For her fans, this is definitely worth a watch. There is a pretty good twist in the end. For everybody else, the story concept is better than the overall execution.

Troubled Lori Anderson (superbly played by Sarah Jessica Parker) is trying to recover from the untimely death of her father in a plane crash. Nice young Terry Stockton (a solid and likable performance by Tom Shea) also dies in a plane crash, but his spirit lives on and forms a special bond with Lori. Lori and Terry have to figure out together why he's still here. Writer/director Robert Wiemer delivers a thoughtful, moving and funny meditation on appreciating being alive, learning to cope with tragedy, and getting on with your life. The fine acting from a tip-top cast qualifies as a real significant plus. Shea and Parker make for a very engaging, if decidedly offbeat on-screen couple; the chemistry between them is really sweet and palpable. They receive excellent support from Nancy Addison as Lori's concerned mom Betty, Rick Weber as Betty's decent, amiable cop boyfriend Alec Peiski, and Paul Bates as Terry's jolly best pal Paul Bart. Glenn Kershaw's polished cinematography and Paul Baillargeon's lovely, low-key score are both up to speed. Parker even sings a couple of wonderfully uplifting songs. A warm, gentle and affecting little gem.

First of all we bought this movie as a joke from the 1 dollar bin. This is by far the best dollar bin find in the history of dollar bins. We bought because we've watched sex in the city and wanted to see Sarah Jessica Parkers early work. But the amount of enjoyment that we gained from watching this movie and Tom Shea's facial expressions was worth so much more then a dollar. This movie is as touching as it is cheesy and strangely unpredictable.Sarah Jessicas wardrobe was not only highly enjoyable but rather classy. Our only wish was that the final kiss at the end was longer. This movie was a pleasant surprise and is now a favourite in our collection We advise you that if you ever come across this film in a dollar bin BUY IT! "Wow a horse!" -Tom Shea

Micro budget films don't get any better than this. There's something about the simplicity of both the star performances by Sarah Jessica Parker and Tom Shea and the Earnest script that speaks of truthfulness, Director Robert Wiemer works well with young actors and his writing is full of realistic dialog filmed on a budget.The story follows young Lori Anderson, grieving over the loss of her father and angry that her mother has begun to pick up the pieces of her life with a new serious relationship. She meets Terry Stockton at the site of a private plane crash, only to realize he was killed in the crash. Together, they begin to piece together the reason Terry has remained earthbound as a ghost...and if it has anything to do with Lori.Full of surprises, I'm still not sure of Terry's "true" identity. The script offers vague clues to another possibility. The song lyrics were apparently written by future "Star Trek" czar Rick Berman! He may have missed his calling.In the end, this is a very good family film, that has the rare quality of never talking down to it's audience, whether child or adult and awaits a well deserved discovery with a DVD release.Check it out!
