"Down to Earth" (2001) follows the story of Lance Barton, an aspiring comedian whose life is tragically cut short just as he feels success is within reach. Instead of the afterlife he anticipated, Lance is mistakenly sent back to Earth, reincarnated as a wealthy, but utterly unpleasant, businessman named Charles Wellington. Forced to navigate a drastically different existence within a body and circumstance he despises, Lance must find a way to make the most of this unexpected second chance. This film deserves its place on a "Best Chris Weitz Movies" list primarily because of his collaborative effort with Paul Weitz, resulting in a genuinely funny and heartwarming comedy that blends fantasy with social commentary. Chris Weitz's direction, alongside his brother, highlights the comedic timing of the lead actor, Chris Rock, and utilizes the unique premise to explore themes of race, class, and finding joy in unexpected places. While perhaps not as critically acclaimed as some of the Weitz brothers' other work, "Down to Earth" showcases their ability to craft accessible and entertaining stories with clever concepts and genuine heart.
