Mr. Destiny (1990)

Mr. Destiny: Directed by James Orr. With Jim Belushi, Linda Hamilton, Michael Caine, Jon Lovitz. Unhappy Larry Burrows sees what his life could’ve been like, had he made that winning home run as a teenager.

“Belushi at his most ingratiating and Courtney Cox before Friends has a small role. I often think Belushi is under-used in Hollywood and this film role is one of his best. For those of you who watch his TV show, this is a very different and likable character. The movie itself is not earth shattering, nor is the message new but rather it is sweet and endearing. The supporting cast of familiar faces and unfamiliar names is a perfect balance although Lovitzu0026#39;s whining can get tiresome, and Michael Caineu0026#39;s charming spiritual guide has a slightly sinister if not well-meaning edge. Hamilton, as Belushiu0026#39;s wife is unfortunately two-dimensional and one wonders why he married her. In addition, Renee Russo is wasted and not terribly convincing at the u0026quot;prom queenu0026quot; who got away. Nevertheless, a nice way to spend two hours.”
