Heart and Souls
Since kids can talk to ghosts, we should get them to ask our deceased relatives where they hid all of those rare silver dollars.
Unfortunately, the lost souls haunting the little boy in this comedy are the ones who are asking him for salvation.
Twenty-five years after the four spirits (Charles Grodin, Kyra Sedgwick, Tom Sizemore, Alfre Woodard) that were bound to him after they died in a bus crash disappeared, the now grown up and callous Thomas (Robert Downey Jr.) is surprised to find them asking for his help. In exchange, they assist him with wooing his frustrated girlfriend (Elisabeth Shue).
While not enough time is spent on exploring each of the wannabe-angels unfinished business, Heart and Souls is ultimately an amusing anecdote about removing remorse from your eternal records.
Furthermore, it exposes the prejudiced nature of the afterlife: Rich, white kids can afford to have multiple guardian angels. (Yellow Light)
