The Healer

A sweet old fashion feel good movie, with a little love story built in. It's worth your time.

It'll give you a few tears, and a smile, with a few laughs.

I didn't have much hope for the movie based on the actors as they're not well known... however I'm very glad I took the time to watch it. Oliver Jackson-Cohen played a very good role for this well written, somewhat emotionally tugging (in a good way) script.

There isn't anything specifically that will jump out to you or blow you away, however by the end, you'll feel very rewarded by what comes to light as the overall reason the movie was written and produced has one of the best undertones I've seen from anything in movies recently. There isn't a huge God based message in the movie, despite being about faith and something bigger.

Overall, I think Paul Newman would absolutely give The Healer a thumbs up. Most will be happy they spent the time to watch and feel emotionally rewarded for their time. Despite this movie not costing much to make, it's certainly one of the better flicks I've seen this year.

Cute movie Super cute leads But very made for tv/Hallmarky

This is one of those films that exists to give us a light-hearted look at life.

It has all the ingredients of a story that gets you nodding in agreement, shaking your head in annoyance and smiling at the feel-good sections.

You may also feel your eyes filling up at times because the mix draws you in and pulls at your emotions.

So, settle down comfortably, get a box of tissues just in case, and enjoy a movie that has some mystery, a 'not so bad' baddie, minimal sex, no swearing and a fairy tale story line.

Well worth a viewing.

If you want to watch a light-hearted feel good movie with the family, this would certainly be it. It has a bit of everything, which appears to have disappointed some reviewers who were trying to put this movie into a specific genre box. There was some intrigue, comedy, romance and magic. The actors did a fine job and you did start connecting with them in spite of the brief time some of them were on screen. Overall, a fun movie to watch with a good message to boot.
