Continuity mistake: When the bus is coming to pick up Alfre Woodard as she is finally meeting her son, we see Robert Downey, Jr. briefly touch her on the shoulder. Since she's a soul, this is impossible.
Heart and Souls (1993)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Ron Underwood
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Alfre Woodard, Charles Grodin, Kyra Sedgwick
Thomas's four friends do the one thing they needed to do before going to Heaven. Milo gives back the stamps; Harrison sings in front of a crowd ("The "Star Spangled Banner" at a B.B. King concert); Penny finds her son... who is the police sargent that kept on running into Thomas; Julia tries to deliver a letter to her ex-boyfriend John (telling him that she's never forgotten him).. but it turns out that he died 7 years ago. But then Julia realizes that her one task to perform before going to Heaven is to teach Thomas to not be afraid of the people he loves, to not run away and to not be afraid to tell people how he feels... in this case: Anne. Thomas is persuaded to tell Anne how he feels about her, gives her some keys and they stay together.
