A Marriage Made in Heaven

A heartfelt storyline that lifts our eyes above the mundane to that which is good and beautiful.

A broken family restored.

A movie that positively enriches the soul withbgreat literature and properly quoting the Bible.

I'm not Greek. Nor am I familiar with the Orthodox church but I appreciated the authenticity of the Greek family living with divorce.

The production quality was refreshing for this genre (low cost Hallmark and NetFlick movies.) Just a a few camera angles where the lower budget bled through.

The adult actors were quality, respectable actors. The child actors showed how hard it is to show genuine emotion. Nowhere was there a model trying to break in on the silver screen.

Great movie about life, love and family.

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).

I can't help but notice that it's common for some to use their hatred towards others to make their comments based on whether this movie was perhaps Christian in nature, and therefore deserves a bruising score than something else that better fits their lifestyle. In other words, they promote their debachery by doing so. Whether these people like it or not, this country was established by God and movies like this are such that families can all watch it without being embarrassed by the vile content or the filthy language. The heart and soul of any country that aspires to be great is the family and its success. I loved the movie and I thought it was very well done and any movie that keeps my undivided attention is worth watching unless you're as described above. I could identify with this man somewhat because I lost my brother when I was 15 and he was 14 to Cancer and I know I will see him again one day and that day is fast approaching. I don't blame God for his death but I blame man's fallen corrupt nature inherited from Adam and the God of this world who comes to steal, kill and destroy life. But Jesus, the 2nd Adam, came to save us, deliver us and give us abundant life and someday soon eternal life.

I didn't continue the movie because I don't enjoy Christian based films. That doesn't mean I live a life of debauchery. Lol. Believe it or not, there are lots of good people and good families that aren't Christian. You aren't being persecuted and the US was not created by "God", any more than any other nation. We are not better than nor more deserving than any other country. People can say what they like, we are still free (so far) and if your religion is so fragile that you take offense when someone else doesn't believe it, your faith must not be all that strong.

Consider that there are other religions and they are good people. There are non-religious people, who do good things and take care of people and cause no harm because it's the right thing to do, no because of some fear of reward or punishment.

I just started watching and had tears in my eyes 15 minutes in. So I decided to start the review now because I know it's going to be an amazing journey. It's a Romance comedy and drama all rolled into one. I wonder why has no one reviewed this movie? It seems like it wasn't shown on any big platform and slipped under the radar. Probably because it's a faith-based film. Believing in God has become a dirty word in Hollywood. For some reason many Americans can watch a movie with Hindu Muslim or Buddhist religions undertones and give great reviews, yet the minute it has Christianity involved, the reviews get resentful, critical and defensive. I'm saying this as someone who is on the fence about Christianity. If you'd check that particular prejudice off to the side, you will find a romance movie with SO MUCH HEART. This is one of those second chances to learn important lessons movie.

The main characters have great chemistry. Elizabeth Rohm looks amazing. The male lead Robert Krantz looked familiar and after searching I see he's been in a few movies I really liked. In the ones I've seen his character is always a fun and joyous dancer including this one. I adore Tom Arnold's character (Johnny Angel), I always enjoy Tom Arnold. The FABULOUS Vivica A Fox plays the boss lady, and as always gives a great performance. Then there is Connie Sellecca playing the mom/grandmother. She is clearly someone who has mastered the art of aging gracefully in Hollywood, although her character is playing a character feeling older than she really is.

This movie is a masterful reminder of living in the now (even though the plot is about living in the past). There are some really funny moments (the uber skit, dropping the kids off with grandma and the 'my man' moment) but there's also many moments you will need to grab some tissues. I usually don't cry during romance movies but did with this one. Please give this movie a chance and watch it.
