All the Signs

Rosen (The Heirloom) pits high-strung OB-GYN Leah Lockhart against her long-ignored desires in this weepy contemporary. After vertigo topples her mid-delivery, Leah and her uptight physician father’s maternity clinic are threatened with a malpractice suit. Her cousin Charlotte urges her into an astrological consult where Leah the Leo is told she must let her inner self free. Determined to prove the stars wrong, she decides to track down others with her exact birth date and time to compare their lives and choices. So begins an astrologically driven world tour, from a luscious Venetian let-it-all-hang-out retreat (featuring a tight-trousered Italian chef) to Istanbul and a swoony rock star. Along the way, Leah starts to question everything she believes. Her father’s failing health, however, calls her back home, where she tearfully reunites with her long-estranged hippie mother and finds true romance with her childhood beau. The far-flung locales make a breathtaking background, but the heavy-handed emotions and shoehorned messages about personal growth feel overwrought. Armchair travelers and astrological true believers may find something to enjoy, but others can give this a pass. (May)
