everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Boring

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

What great movie. Great acting with an excellent script made for a classic. It wasn't a box office blockbuster, but this movie with give u chills several times, and kept me guessing through the entire flick, and really what else can you really ask for in a flick. Believe it or not i put this movie in my top ten. Any movie that i can watch several times and still enjoy it is top ten in my book.

Dragonfly is an uneven supernatural thriller starring Kevin Costner who plays a bereaved husband Dr Joe Darrow whose pregnant wife Emily was killed in a bus accident while working for the Red Cross in Venezuela.Joe becomes convinced that somehow his wife is trying to contact him from the other side. This includes a dragonfly paperweight that suddenly rolls off a table and his wife's patients in hospital who are kids being treated for cancer claiming to have been contacted by her.Joe's friends become concerned that he is going mad and his hospital bosses want him to go on extended leave.Director Tom Shadyac resorts to horror film style jolts and suspense. However as Joe's behaviour becomes erratic we just end up thinking much early on why does he just not go to Venezuela to find closure especially as his wife's body was never recovered.Of course eventually that is what Joe does leading to a sentimental and a not very surprising ending.Costner is in his element by putting another maudlin performance but the film becomes too corny and mawkish too often.

Joe Darrow (Kevin Costner) loses his doctor wife Emily (Susanna Thompson) while working charity in Central America. He's haunted and her body is not found. Then he receives a Dragonfly Mobile in the mail ordered by Emily. He had conflicted with her about going. While working at the hospital, Joe encounters Jeffrey who comes back from the dead. He was Emily's patient from before and claims to have had afterlife visions. Then another kid Ben claims to have visions of the lady doctor. There are drawings of a wiggly cross. Sister Madeline had worked with the kids about their after-death experiences.It's a good ghost story but it does lack tension. There isn't anything scary in this. This is strictly a mystery and not a very mysterious one at that. There are no big twists and turns. Costner does a little too much overacting but there isn't much else that he could do with the material.

I knew not what to expect, but what I got was a totally enthralling film that kept my eyes on the screen through the entire run. The subject is fascinating, whether or not you believe, and the story was 100% riveting. I had to pee and didn't even get up.Costner, as usual, is a winning actor and had a lot to carry in this film. The movie was especially interesting to me since I was literally 'dead' for about 3 minutes after a heart attack in'03. As far as I can remember, I saw nothing.So, the movie was a reminder but, with or without such an experience, it is a winner, a story well told and the scenery, and people in the final scenes were thoroughly convincing.As one reviewer noted, the picture doesn't end when you thought it would and, as excellent as this movie is, it was even better at the end.As you noted I gave it a 10, only because we can't go any higher.
