Reincarnated Dad Accidentally Dates His Daughter | Chances Are (1989) Explained Badly
What if I told you there’s a “romantic comedy” where a man dies, gets reincarnated… and then accidentally dates his own daughter?
Yeah, that actually happened. And somehow, Hollywood thought it was charming.
Today we’re talking about Chances Are (1989) — a movie so unhinged, so tonally confused, it makes you wonder if anyone read the script before filming. Robert Downey Jr. plays a reincarnated dad who falls in love with his daughter, while Cybill Shepherd plays the mom who’s weirdly okay with all of it.
We’ve got forbidden romance, angelic bureaucracy, 80s saxophone solos, and enough Oedipal chaos to fuel ten therapy sessions.
This is the story of the rom-com that went way too far — and the film that proves Hollywood in the 80s just did not care.
