Amazon.co.uk Review
Marina (Demi Moore), a blonde Southern belle with a clairvoyant streak, sees signs--a shooting star with two tails, a snowglobe that washes up on the beach, a wedding band inside of a fish--telling her that her true love is about to come ashore. And soon enough, a boat lands on the beach in front of her home; only the guy inside is a stout butcher from New York City named Leo (George Dzundza). Still, portents are portents, and the next thing you know she's married and running barefoot around a butcher's shop in Greenwich Village, where she inspires various residents with her predictions. Leo, however, is frightened by his wife's abilities and encourages her to see Alex (Jeff Daniels), a psychiatrist who works across the street. To placate him, she does--and soon begins to suspect that she's misread her signs and married the wrong man. The Butcher's Wife could use a little more humour about Marina's powers (her pronouncements are dizzyingly earnest) but the movie is buoyed up by a fantastic supporting cast, particularly Margaret Colin as a soap opera actress, Frances McDormand as a lesbian dress shop owner and Mary Steenburgen as a dowdy church choir leader who just wants to sing the blues. Like Marina, you know what's going to happen but the cast manages to make getting there charming. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quirky tale of love and destiny, 27 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Butcher's Wife [VHS] [1992] (VHS Tape)
The Butchers Wife is a great movie, yet it is not seen or heard of that much. Made in 1991 it stars Demi Moore, Jeff Daniels, Mary Streenbergen, and a great cast of other characters, who all combine their talents to make a quirky and lovely film.

5.0 out of 5 stars You know her too!, 17 Dec 2004

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Butcher's Wife Dvd [1992] (DVD)
This is one of those movies that you will want to add to your Christmas story collection.

Marina (Demi Moore) lives on the South Carolina coast with Grammy D'Arbo (Elizabeth Lawrence). She has a dream that she will meet her split apart. Then she sees a two tailed comet as a defiant sign. Sure enough Leo Lemke (George Dzundza) shows up in a boat and she runs to great her future.

There are many overlapping stories of love and lovers. They all cross lives with Marina and she changes every thing. This greatly upsets the local "Shrink" Dr. Alex Tremor (Jeff Daniels).

One of the nice touches is that every ware Marina goes there is a slight breeze of fresh air.

This leaves two main questions:
Harper asks "Why does everything I touch die?"
Who gets the toad that "...will seal you love forever"?
