Prelude to a Kiss is a romantic comedy-drama released in 1992, directed by Norman René and based on a play by Craig Lucas. The film tells the story of Peter (Alec Baldwin), a young man who falls in love with Rita (Meg Ryan), a charming but cynical bartender. Against all odds, the two get married, but on their wedding day, a strange old man (Sydney Walker) approaches them and asks to kiss the bride. After the kiss, Peter discovers that the man has somehow switched bodies with Rita. Now, Peter must figure out how to reverse the curse and win back the woman he loves.
As the newlyweds struggle to adapt to their new situation, they discover that the supernatural event has real-life consequences. Rita, who used to see the world through a glass-half-empty lens, suddenly becomes cheerful and optimistic, while Peter, who used to be carefree and impulsive, becomes more serious and cautious. This change in personalities puts a strain on their relationship, and they find themselves struggling to reconnect the way they used to.
Meanwhile, Peter becomes obsessed with finding a way to bring back the old Rita. He tries everything from seeking out the old man to visiting a psychic, but nothing seems to work. Eventually, Peter realizes that the only way to truly reverse the curse is through love and acceptance. He must learn to love Rita for who she is, even if that means accepting her newfound positivity and outlook on life.
With its heartwarming message about the power of love and acceptance, Prelude to a Kiss is a timeless classic that reminds us that true love can overcome even the most unusual obstacles.
