THE HERALD Wednesday 1096 Page Entertainment Movie Review Mr Destiny a treacly plot By DIAHANN NADEAU James stars in this rather sentimental film which manages to amuse and entertain despite its treacly plot Belushi is Larry Burrows an average guy with a pretty decent life He has a gorgeous wife Linda Hamilton a new not quite finished house a nice dog and lots of friends His job seems pretty good hes middle manage ment in a sports company where his wife and father are unionized employees Yet Larry Just isnt quite satisfied Hes having one of those days no coffee no hes fired and its his birthday And the car breaks down one more time The wagon conks out in front of a bar and Larry goes in to use the phone and drink a beer The bartender Michael Caine however is not your average Joe Listening to Larrys woes remembering how he missed a crucial hit at his high schools big baseball game the bartender gives Larry a chance to change his life How different his life would be if hed hit the ball Larry has no idea just how dif ferent it will be Hes suddenly married to the bosss daughter has two kids lives in an enormous mansion Ellie is an employee who hates him his best friend Clip Jon Lovitz is a wacked out failure and his name isnt even Larry anymore its LJ The old Larry steps into his birthday not knowing where the bathrooms are in his house who his friends are and thinks Stilton is the name of the person who gave him the cheese Unfortunately LJ is not a nice guy at all and as Larry tries to do what seems right he alienates his VP Hart Bochner who was his boss in his previous life One thing leads to another and Larry finds his new life is terri ble Will he get back to and home before somebody shoots him The similarities to Its A Wonderful Life are obvious Mr Destiny certainly doesnt live up to that classic however The plot is predictable and there just isnt the kind of sweetness that per vades Life L J is not nice and hes surrounded by some nasty people

enormously appealing performance this film is far more likeable than it has a right to be You cant help rooting for Larry even as the action gets off track and goes beyond credibility within its own odd limits The supporting performances are good with Rene luminous as Cindy Joe LJs wife Pat likeable as Larrys dad and its good to see Jon Lovitz again for those of us who miss him on Saturday Night
