Return to Me

It took a lot of coaxing to get Bob (Duchovny), a recently widowed architect, to go on a blind date at a quirky Irish-Italian eatery. Once there, he's smitten instantly...not with his date, but with the sharp-witted waitress, Grace (Driver). With unsolicited help from Grace's match-making Grandfather (Carroll O'Connor), Bob asks her out. And as their relationship blossoms, everything seems to be going great, until an unbelievable truth is revealed...one that could easily break both of their hearts for good. STREET DATE: JANUARY 27.

Return To Me is one of those great Chicago-neighborhood films, filled with all the characters I met growing up there ! HIGHLY recommended.
DVD cost me $4.31 in 2008, looks to be OOP now. Resale might be big ? $$$
Hope the commentary is included, or I'm keeping the DVD. It's very funny...listening now in fact.
