If Only (3 Stars)


Excellent acting from Jennifer Love Hewitt in a romantic film that doesn't quite make sense. We can understand what is happening, but not why it happens, and the moral of the story is elusive. To me at least.

A businessman and his lover are having a difficult time together because he isn't giving her the attention she wants. He constantly puts his work first. At the end of an emotionally traumatic day she dies in a random car accident. The man wishes he could have done things differently, and an enigmatic taxi driver gives him the chance to relive the day. But try as he may, whatever efforts he makes, the events repeat themselves, and he realises that there's no way to prevent her death.
