The greatest movie ever made..!
Better Late Then Never
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreI thought this film was quite clever. It was a classic storyline of an angel trying to get into heaven but in 2017. A young woman dies and becomes an angel on earth as she doesn't quite have the credits to get into heaven. After saving a plane from crashing (you may recognise a real life similarity to how she saves it) she is stuck on earth for years trying to build up the credit. Just when she has got enough credit she runs into her widowed husband. There is a nice modern twist in that the miracles come to the angels via a smart phone app. Also it turns out that it is Greyhound bus that takes you to heaven. Jason Biggs playing himself (as a sort of angel manager) I thought was the star of the film. The actress playing the angel I thought was good in some parts but a bit patchy in others. Overall this is a good film to watch. It is unlikely you will want to watch it again for a while or will be nominating it for best film of 2017. However it is an enjoyable film and probably much better and different to a lot of TV movies.
View MoreThis is not Hallmark. This aired on Freeform.The main character is a wretch with practically no redeeming qualities.Skip it and watch something else.
View MoreThe movie opens with an obnoxious young Asian woman on a plane giving the flight attendant a hard time and drinking to excess. She turns to the camera and explains that the plane is about to crash, but she doesn't care because she is already dead. She is an Angel who did not lead quite a good enough life to cruise into heaven with a free ticket. She has to accumulate enough points by doing good deeds on earth to earn her way in. The problem with this one is, her good deed points are constantly being taken away by her "bad" deeds. She has an app on her phone to keep track of her standing. Yep. this one is a little bit different.It is a rare entry in the Christmas movie sweepstakes: It is hilarious and heartfelt. Not just amusing. Really Funny. Written by Will Gluck, a writer with a strong resume, I suspect that this was meant for theatrical release. This is no mere Hallmark, folks. Great performances all around and great casting. Kudos for starring an Asian American woman as the angel form of the earthly white girl. An original choice. She was obviously chosen because she was the best actress for the part. Jason Biggs plays himself (!). He's really an angel too. Yes, It is quirky. Did I say that? The love interest is not a fictionally handsome male-model type, but a kind of schlubby but appealing everyman type guy. Again, Kudos. It does not play out like you would expect of a regular Hallmark type movie so it keeps you guessing. It does have a good message and moral like all good Christmas movies should, and plays out in a very satisfying way. I will be watching this one again next year. It is rare that I can say that about a Hallmark entry.
