A Marriage Made in Heaven

It came on Amazon Prime right after Granchester and my wife and I got sucked into watching it.

It is so hokey and ridiculously unrealistic. It borrows heavily from It's a Wonderful Life and Back to the Future but does so poorly and with heavy religious overtones. Blech. I hate sappy, moralistic movies where people say things and comport themselves like no other human I've ever known.

If you're a normal, non-believer kind of person, you're gonna laugh at how ridiculous the dialogue and behavior of the characters are. I would normally say this is 1:25 of my life that I would really like to have back but my wife and I groaned and laughed so much it was an enjoyable time. But not for the reason the filmmaker intended.

I started watching based on the fact I didn't want anything violent and it had good reviews. I didn't realize it's a Christian based movie, but that would not have stopped me watching, had it been any good. The talk show scenes were completely unrealistic and the producer character extremely difficult to watch, due to the stupid script. The two main characters have so much makeup on their faces don't move, and everything is so sterile. Nothing out of place in their home, cars or clothes - just like real life! Why do so many movie makers think if you put a grey wig on a woman in her 60's and tell her to hunch over and shuffle, everyone will think she is really old. That's not how older people look. My review is only based on half the movie as that's all I could take. Too bad as the story is pretty cute, even if it steals from It's a Wonderful Life and Back to the Future (as another reviewer pointed out).

This movie had heart, compassion and tenderness along with multiple moments of humor, Those that panned it probably have a different kind of agenda. I cannot recall when I've so enjoyed a movie about romance and multiple kinds of love. I loved the way dance was woven into the story.

The rediscovery of the romance in a marriage with kids was refreshing and a story we don't see very often. I also appreciated the focus on Greek traditions that demonstrated the deep bonds of marriage.

Read and trust the reviews that focus on the sweet and passionate moments in this movie you won't be disappointed.

Watch it if you want a good laugh...my wife and I were cackling at the unrealistic dialogue, delivery and situations.

This guy clearly had some cash and wanted to make a movie...and he fell into all the typical vanity project traps, making himself the hero, loved by everyone (even by his ex-wife) and host of his own talk show...which also happens to be the most popular talk show in the United States...

The script has no sense of anything...

The opening is supposed to cover an episode of his talk show.

Without cuts or an indication of time skipping ahead, it's about 4 minutes from the start to the end of the episode.

Anyways. Go watch it. It's funny bad.

This movie has been slammed with bad reviews. I completely disagree. Yes the guy has money in this movie, so what? People can't have money and a heart?! The premise of this movie unfortunately is true in so many couples' lives. Work takes presidence over relationships. Our pride gets in the way of realizing our faults and how we need to change to love others the way we should, unconditionally and unselfishly, putting the precious people in our lives 1st. This guy realizes with the help of an Angel (also exist) to realize he needs to put his wife and family 1st in every way. No matter the consequences. Fortunately it's not too late, wife and kids respond, and their family gets back on track to be a family again. They'll have to continue on this path for the rest of their lives. The movie can't go on forever to reveal there will be more setbacks, mistakes, and reconciliations. That's the hard work of relationships.
