Review of Chances Are

Chances Are (1989)
6/10
An entertaining chick-flick with little depth
9 December 2000
I saw Chances Are three times in the theater! That is not to say it's a great movie. I was 17 years old at the time and a high school junior. Romance was high on the list of interests for me. This movie provided a sense of true romantic love albeit with a twisted sense of morality.

This movie is lightly entertaining. It's worth a view if you can't find anything in the video store with your girlfriends that you haven't already seen. As this movie's over a decade old it doesn't necessarily catch one's eye. Cybil Shepherd isn't exactly in her element here, Robert Downey seems more so, though it's hard to respect the guy's sense of morality. This comes into play when he decides to fall for both a mother and daughter! (Ok, decides isn't quite the right word, you'll have to see the film to know what I mean.)

At any rate, I'd give it a low 6 out of 10.
