I enjoy this movie alot..love all of the actors..does take you to some Ghostly pasts..good acting..love the scenery in New Orleans.

I like all of the movies in the Nora Roberts collection! If you're a woman, it's almost sacriligious not to. I especially liked this one as it is set in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. That being said, the crazy "plot twist" of the male lead being reincarnated as a woman and the female lead being reincarnated as man, was a little off-putting -- hence, the four stars instead of five. Faye Dunnaway is superb as the spooky grandmother.

Just really love this movie....a little bit of everything....comedy, romance, intrigue and the New Orleans setting is great. Plus great cast.

This movie is very good has plenty twist and turns that has plenty of drama, but also a soft romantic side. I would recommend it to anyone.
Especially those that love nora roberts books.

I just got through watching this on Lifetime and, not the hugest Nora Roberts fan, I was impressed with this film adaptation. Not only was it a good made-for-TV story, but the cast was actually TALENTED! I don't believe in reincarnation but, a lot like the movie Dead Again, I found the story line riveting and was glued to it in both a romantic and haunted house way. It was a cool twist to have the romantic leading man once having been a woman and vice versa, because that was a curve ball definitely not foreseen. Faye Dunaway was cool as spooky grandma; also, there are some beautiful shots of New Orleans that are virtually like an appealing travel brochure. If you want to get a man to watch something ordinarily considered a chick flick, pick this movie out. You may find that, for once, he's not cringing at the end.

What more could anyone ask for than a love story set in beautiful New Orleans with a mysterious haunted mansion and a century's old ghost story? Nora Roberts treats us to a fun 90 minute trip to the bayou.

This is a great mystery/ghost story of the old South. It was filmed in New Orleans and at Oak Alley which is one of my favorite plantations on the Old River Road in Louisiana. The setting is New Orleans as it is now, still struggling to rebuild parts of the city since the Hurricane. The plot includes some of the history of life on the old plantations, intertwined with the lives of two modern lovers, with a real twist toward the end. The scenery is beautiful and the plot keeps your interest all the way through. After seeing the dvd myself, I invited my whole family over to see it. Very enjoyable Gothic suspense.

Loved Nora Roberts' 2009 collection..all great movies!! Would recommend to anyone!!! Definitely a must see!!!

This was a great movie! I love a good ghost story, especially with a love story involved...and it was set in the South! It can't get much better! As a Southerner myself, I can't help but be drawn to any movie/story that takes place in the South. The chemistry between the two main characters is great! No, there is no Oscar winning performance and it is a little cliche at times, but it's a good Sunday afternoon, curl up on the couch kinda movie. I enjoyed it tremendously and can't wait for the dvd!

THIS MOVIE IS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE, REGARDS OF WHAT THE LAST REVIEW WAS. IT IS A COMMON MOVIE LIKE THE REST BUT IT WAS PLAYED REALLY GOOD. IT DOES CATCH YOU EYE AND KEEPS YOU WATCHING IT. IT IS NOT LIKE THE A HAUNTING THAT YOU SEE GHOSTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IT IS A GOOD PLOT
