James Belushi and Michael Caine shine in this modern day version of "It's a Wonderful Life." Belushi's character is convinced that his dull life would be completely better if he had just hit a baseball in his league championship when he was a teenager. Well, on his birthday, after he gets fired from his job and his car breaks down, he gets the chance to see what could have been. After receiving a special drink from bartender Caine, Belushi walks out into a world where he really did hit that baseball. He is now the president of his company, married to beautiful Cindy Jo (Rene Russo), and living like royalty . However, the "Clarence-like" Caine explains that now that he has what he always wanted, he has also lost his original family and friends. this new life is also not all peaches and cream and comes with an entirely new set of problems. Is this truly what he desires or perhaps he always had what he always wanted? The film looks great on Blu-ray and special features includes a great commentary with the director and James Belushi. Highly recommended for the family and knowing that all things work together for good in the end.

Very good movie and Jim Belushi does an excellent acting in this movie. The bartender is the destiny maker. He shows up when Jim needs him to explain what is going on. In a way it is sort of suspenseful when the old man gets hit over the head by the guy who wants Jim's job. The ending is what i liked most; because it was such a happy ending; and it sends a message to be careful what you wish for; because you just might get it..
