Amazon.com:
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 creeped out 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 humor about Marina's powers (her pronouncements are dizzyingly earnest), but the movie is buoyed 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

Rating:  - Delightful romantic comedy with supernatural plotline
Demi Moore, a psychic with long blonde curls? Yes, but it works and she is charming and cute in this fun flick that is worth more than one viewing. Predictable? Sure. But who cares? It is a great way to spend a little leisure time.
I also found it funny, especially Jeff Daniels as the shrink who doesn't know that he is already in love with the butcher's wife, long before they both find out they are each other's "split aparts". In the meantime, Demi's Marina character is busy match-making ... Read More
Rating:  - It's Fun!!!!!!
The movie nor the actors would win Academy Awards but it's a story that's just plain fun and a "no brainer" if you simply want to be entertained. A young Demi Moore showed her potential as an actress. Performances by Jeff Daniels, Mary Steenburgen, George Dzundza and Margaret Colin were delightful. We had a good time watching this one....again.
Rating: - The Butcher's Wife review
I love this movie! It is one of my all time favorites! It is silly and a bit mushy at times I know. But it is one of the best at showing that anyone and everyone - Short, fat, tall, skinny, beautiful, gay, smart or simple can find their true love! Finding one's split-apart is really just about everyone's longing in life!
Rating: - The buther's Wife, awesome
I really enjoyed this movie. It's a fun movie to watch. Demi Moore is really good in it. I love the plot and all the characters and how they all come together.
Rating: - Very funny
This is not a very credible love story but a very funny one between Demi Moore (the fey butcher's wife) and Jeff Daniels (the hard-nosed shrink).
If you believe in "Once upon a time...", you can buy it.
