A very early comedy performance from Robert Downey, Jr. as a businessman visited by the spirits of 4 people who died the very moment he was born and now need his help to right the wrongs in their lives before they can pass on into the afterlife.

It's a really sweet, feelgood comic fantasy which didn't quite get the attention it duly deserved on its original release.
