Aired on French TV under the title "Le Voeu de Toute Une Vie", this film has a lot going for it, and not least its leading star Joanna Kerns who appears incredibly attractive. Apart from this very positive point the film, a sort of cocktail including elements from "Peggy Sue Got Married", "Forever Young" and "Big", keeps the spectator in full emotion for its 90 minute duration. Indeed, I found it even more agreable to watch than those three preceding films even though I like them as well. The story is fairly simple and there are no plot twists but as in many families there are problems, and the possibility of rejuvenation introduces countless possibilities to solve the marital problems. Della Reese is always a pleasure to watch and is another larger-than-life character. I will not narrate the plot here but suffice it to say that it is sufficiently emotional to produce watery eyes and as such is bound to appeal to sentimental-minded viewers such as myself. Picture quality is fine and the soundtrack, if no great work of musical art, is in no way to be scoffed at. Recommended for those in need of strong emotion !
