Mr. Destiny
A totally magical comedy!
Imagine if one day, out of the blue, your wildest dreams came true! That's exactly what happens to junior executive Larry Burrows (James Belushi - Taking Care Of Business) when he bumps into a mysterious stranger (Michael Caine - Miss Congeniality, The Cider House Rules). Instantly, Larry's ho-hum life becomes his ultimate fantasy -- huge mansion, beautiful wife, cars galore! But before long, his new lifestyle isn't so enchanting. Ultimately, Larry discovers it's going to take a lot more than wishful thinking to get back to where he once belonged! Co-starring Terminator 2's Linda Hamilton and comedian Jon Lovitz (Little Nicky, Rat Race), "Mr. Destiny" is a delightful rags-to-riches comedy brimming with totally magical entertainment!

Feel Good Movie With Just the Right Amount of Humour - c4th
This ranks high among my favourite feel good movies. It follows the old “what if” scenario similar to It’s a Wonderful Life and Heaven Can Wait and teaches us that life is what we make of it.
Larry Burrows is a man who enjoys the childish humour of his best friend, model cars, his rescued dog and compassionate wife. Today however, he is experiencing a low. He’s just been fired, his car is broken down on a quiet street and he blames all the negatives in his life on the events on his fifteenth birthday. He encounters a mysterious bar tender (Michael Caine) and gets to experience his life along an alternative thread when the outcome of that event is changed by the bar tender's special cocktail, aptly named “spilled milk”. As he lives his new life, he still has memories of his original life and develops an appreciation for the small but important things he now misses.
Romance plays big but is portrayed small. Instead of hot steamy romance, Jim Belushi as Larry Burrows and Linda Hamilton as his wife (in his original life) exude wonderful chemistry convincing us they are two people who enjoy being together simply because it feels right. This movie touches the heart of all its viewers by giving them a brand of romance to which they can all relate and sprinkling on just the right amount of humour to teach us an important life lesson in a light entertaining way.this is james belushi better movie - buldog22

Once again,this is another of my fave movie. It examines our lives thru 2 different case scenario.
What if.
It's not always what it's crack up to be. We make choices & we should be happy with the choices we make becoz if we have a positive outlook in life we are ahead of the game.
the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. It's who you have with you that makes the difference.
