A Marriage Made in Heaven

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
