Mr. Destiny Reviews
Belushi's destiny
Larry Burrows(James Belushi) is an office worker who has a disasterous 35th birthday. He didn't have his Wheaties for breakfast. He had no coffee at work(the supply of water and coffee grounds were both exhausted). What really haunts him is a mistake he made when he was 15. He missed hitting a baseball,the most important of all,at a little league game. So Larry walks into a bar run by a guardian angel(Michael Caine). The guardian angel turns Larry's life around. In the dream sequence,Larry sees his now-ex-wife with a new husband and children of their own. He meets his newly divorced father with his(the father's) new girlfriend. Also he tries to get into his house to find out it's now owned by a mean-spirited fella. One of Larry's co-workers(Jon Lovitz) has been Larry's pal since childhood. They reminisce about seeing "Bonnie & Clyde" in the movie theaters eight times. Another one of Larry's co-workers is a scam artist who later confessed to his wrongdoing and was terminated. Best of all,Larry has a 35th birthday party at his home. Out of the dream sequence,Larry and his wife Ellen(Rene Russo) are still married. In an earlier scene,when the Burrowses were kids,Ellen hands Larry a handkerchief with her embroidered initials on it. They read EJR which stands for Ellen Jane Ripley. Larry,in his baseball uniform,shed a few tears after his failure to hit that important baseball. Great film!
See this movie!
With so many studios using the word "classic" quite liberally nowadays, it's hard to really know anymore. This movie really passes the test. It stars Michael Caine as Mr. Destiny, and Jim Belushi as Larry Burrows, who gets to experience what life could have been. He gets everything he dreamed of, but soon finds out it's not all it's cracked up to be. Linda Hamilton and Jon Lovitz give great supporting performances, this is movie is a gem!
