Nina Savino I voted this film a little low only because there is magnificent competition out there, masterfully crafted stuff perfect from alpha to omega... despite my lower end vote, I enjoyed the heck out of this work by the end of the film.First I should say, I only tuned in because of the cast, I knew nothing else about the film except the quickie blurb in the TV guide.I thought it started out a little odd and choppy. The early "dating" scenes though only from 1992, seemed a bit unnatural and "dated" - (and made me wonder if when I was young and starting to fall in love, I was ever really that hokey and scripted) but I hung in there... I had hopes the film would go somewhere other just "another Hollywood love story" - boy, did I get my wish.I honestly didn't see the turn of fantastical events coming, Lukas snuck them in softly allowing the viewer to discover for themself before the reveal... but once I did, I was hooked right in, line and sinker. Other opinion writers have given the details in their "spoilers." I don't think I need to, but I would like to say to those who haven't yet seen this film to suspend your sense of disbelief with a heart open enough to hear the quiet breathing of someone you love while they are sleeping miles away from you.By the end of this film, I was very glad I took the time and highly recommend it for any but the most cynical and insensitive of clods.

Doriano Prelude to a Kiss is a wonderful experience. Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan are perfect together. I especially enjoyed his narration at the beginning of the movie as he describes his first encounter with Meg's character. It's all about soulmates and how they connect and they just know it was meant to be. Then there is the powerful moment after Meg Ryan and an elderly man somehow swap bodies and Baldwin looks at his wife and asks "where is my wife?!" because he just knows that she is not the same person he fell in love with, even though it was her body and she looked like his wife, there was something wrong...something off....when it came to her spirit and the way she thought and acted. Incredibly original stuff... to show how deep love is actually. That we could tell whether or not someone is our soulmate even if they changed physical form. It also showed how we love and embrace all those annoying little things about our lovers that we complain about and don't agree with. I thought it was extremely cute how he missed all of his wife's neurotic and strange idiosyncrasies. All of her foibles were as important to him as all of her best traits.This is a very underrated movie and a must see for anyone who is a romantic.

Hunt Bryston I agree with another reviewer this could have been a much more interesting film. As it is, it's a silly, slightly icky fantasy with marvelous acting by the two principals and Sydney Walker. Some very poignant moments with Alec Baldwin, and Meg Ryan is irresistible as always. What a waste of Stanley Tucci! Definitely worth seeing.

DJAkin It was so good. I agree that this is one of Alec's best performances. The fact the he grabbed down and kissed that old man is testimony to his acting ability. This is a movie about an old man and Meg Ryan, who kiss, then exchange souls. There is an element of comedy in this as well as wonder and mystery and a tad of suspense. I usually can't stand Meg "smiles" Ryan, but she is tolorable in THIS movie only. The highlight of this movie is certainly Alec Baldwin, who ALWAYS delivers the goods!!
