Would love to see this released again--including DVD. It is a movie you MUST have in your collection. Like "It's a Wonderful Life", it makes you realize what you have is maybe all you REALLY want.

It's been 5 years since I last saw this movie, but it sticks in my head like yesterday. Jim Beulushi is awesome in Mr. Destiny, along with his co-stars, Linda Hamilton and Renee Russo. I have been looking everywhere for this video. I would love to see Amazon.com release this movie for viewers like myself. I'd be grateful.

Mr. Destiny is not only fun entertainment, it deals with the question every person asks at some time in their life: How would my life be different now if only I had....? James Belushi charmingly plays the man who lost his job, and finds himself wishing he could change his past and start over. He finds his chance to do just that after a little magical intervention by Mr. Destiny (Michael Caine). With just one change in his past...from losing the big baseball game, to winning it, Belushi's life takes a different path. Suddenly plopped into his new life, with a different wife and a different job, he encounters many troublesome adventures...humorous for the viewer, but disastrous for Belushi. Just at the point of hopelessness, Mr. Destiny intervenes again, but I won't give away anymore of the plot here. I loved Belushi's character... in spite of his troubles, he confronts all situations with grace and humor. The movie is sweet, funny, and even carries an encouraging message: Don't regret the past, but go forward and make the best of what you've got!

how often do you wonder if an event in your life would have had an impact on your future??? what if you would have a chance to re-live that moment once again??? would your life be differnt??? too many times we torment our present lives only to realize that we are better off the way we now live. after seeing this movie you realize that just like in "The Wizard of Oz" or "It's a Wonderful Life" happiness is always in front of you and the past is just a lesson in becoming a a better person cause you appreciate what you have and not what you might have had. :O) great family movie and it should be re-released.

I watched this on tv last year it was the best,the best film I've ever seen.The james belushie and Michael Cain combineation is classic. I cannot find it on sale any where in the internet or off if you ever get the chance to watch it I highly recomend it. I give this film a 10 out of 10. All in all it is a great film and I highly recomend watching it. thank you for reading.

This is a real sleeper, I found it late one night on HBO or showtime, John Belushi is great and with supporting actors like Michael Cane, this is a great movie, leaves you feeling good about life!

This movie is awesome! If you have ever wondered why life is the way it is, or what if that one thing you [messed] up could have been changed, than this movie will really catch your attention. It is filled with comedy, drama, and just plain fun. The acting is superb, the characters are well thought out, and the story line is excellent. An interesting tid bit: Part of this movie was filmed at the Biltmore Mansion in Ashville, NC. This movie is absolutely one of my favorites, I will be preordering this one for sure! Four words: A modern day classic!

The first time I saw this movie, I knew I would purchase the video. Great cast of characters along with an entertaining story that seems to really happen to some people. James Belushi does an oustanding acting performance as well as Michael Caine. The lovely Linda Hamilton is superb in her character changes and certainly adds to the quality of the story line. (I love her anyway) Sometimes I wish this could happen to me in the real world, but.......oh well. If you get a chance to see the film, do so by all means. Once you get caught up in the story you'll appreciate the efforts by all the cast. Thanks Jim

When I first heard of this movie's general plotline, I thought it would be obvious and filled with cliches and, well, I was right. The story about a man going "back" to a high school baseball game to see what his future would look like if he hit a homerun hardly sounds new. However James Belushi, with his easygoing charm, and the rest of the cast can't be beat. Predictable as the story may be, it still has some very funny and even touching moments and is great if you're looking for a movie which doesn't involve much thinking.

I remember seeing this video as a young kid and recalling it every so often in the back of my mind over the last ten years. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I stayed up late on a Sunday night to watch this incredible film. Did this win any Oscars? Sheesh. Anyhow, the storyline, acting, and overall message is the ultimate undoer to the hardened heart or tightly raveled soul. Even as a Christian, this story is an amazing method to force me to reflect on my own life and see where God has led me, and possibly what would happen if I decided to go my own way. Likewise, from the non-religious standpoint, it's an excellent slap in the face. ;-) Perhaps what you have is as good as it gets. Why isnt' this video in stock?
