Pluskylang Great Film overall

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

blanche-2 Call me a glutton for punishment, but I usually watch Mary Higgins Clark's stories turned into films, even though they're generally schlockily produced, slow as molasses, badly acted and accompanied by Psycho music. I can't believe I'm writing this, but I'd almost rather see Grosso-Jacobsen, who normally produce movies from her books, than Lifetime.The film stars Cameron Bancroft, one of the worst actors I've ever seen, as Sterling Brooks, a self-absorbed stock broker who is killed by a traveling golf ball (probably to stop him from yelling all his lines at the top of his lungs) and goes to the other side (cue the dry ice). There he meets Joe, played by another great thespian, Greg Evigan, trying but failing to speak with some sort of British accent who is supposed to help him qualify for heaven since right now, his fate hasn't been decided.Joe and Sterling return to earth and Sterling learns that he has to help his old girlfriend Annie (Erika Eleniak) and her daughter (Nickol Tschenscher). Annie overheard mobsters talking and planning to set fire to a house and follow it up with a murder, and her evidence is critical in a case against them. She has been under protection and separated from her daughter, who is miserable. Joe wants Sterling to make sure they're reunited, and with the girl's father, for Christmas.Eleniak owns this type of film, so she knows how to handle herself. In this production, she plays a singer who does jazzed up versions of Christmas songs. I'm not talking about jazzing up Jolly Old St. Nick, she's jazzing up hymns like Silent Night.This story has similarities to Ghost and It's a Wonderful Life, and Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark can write good stories that don't make for heavy reading. "He Sees You When You're Sleeping" could have been a lovely Christmas story and a real tear-jerker, but for me, the acting wrecked it. I say spend a little extra money and get another one or two good actors and throw in a good director. You might be surprised at the results.

N6346 "This could happen"?!? In what universe would that be? If Heaven can really wait, why doesn't it? do just that, and spare us all these cloying, wishful thinking movies about the so-called "afterlife." "It's A Wonderful Life" at least had Frank Capra's and James Stewart's extraordinary talents to recommend it. This piece of treacle has only Mr. Mediocre, Greg Evigan, and Erika Elenia, whose relentless Bullockian cuteness can go only so far And It would have been a perfectly serviceable story without all of the "Ghost Whisperer" blather but that kind of thing, apparently, is exactly what all those teenage girls demand and they and their lame, puerile little taste are exercising some kind of spiritless pastel tyranny over the popular culture. The movie also contains more than a few unhappy echoes of "Ghost," the painfully silly beginning of the era of "the-only-good-man-is-a-dead-man movies

SnowWhiteSal He Sees You When You're Sleeping is one of several Mary Higgins Clark adaptations; it stars Erika Eleniak, Cameron Bancroft and Greg Evigan.***May Contain Spoilers*** This TV movie is about this self-centred, selfish superficial stockbroker Sterling Brooks (Cameron Bancroft) who dies before his time in some random freak accident. In order to secure himself a place in heaven, Sterling is given the opportunity to redeem himself by helping out single mom Annie Campbell (Erika Eleniak) and her daughter Marissa, who are in the witness protection program, from nasty mobsters who will stop at nothing - including murder - to prevent Annie from testifying against them.Like most TV movies, it was a little on the cheesy side, but that is something I really enjoy. It's nice to sit down and watch something you know isn't real, but maybe, just maybe it COULD happen!Although the movie had somewhat strange and silly ideas about the afterlife and what not, I found that quite charming in a weird and wonderful sort of way.The only thing I didn't really like about this movie was Greg Evigan's performance as the guardian angel Joe, I just felt it was really badly acted compared to everyone else in the film.Cameron was really enjoyable to watch, I think my grandma now has a slight crush on him, but it's all good!! When he first "came back to earth" you really rooted for people to be able to see him and know he was there.Erika was as always excellent in this movie, it was great seeing her play something a little different and nice seeing her play a mommy to a little girl. There was a great chemistry between the actresses on screen and you really wanted to see Annie get back home to be with her daughter for Christmas.If you like a good drama/fantasy style movie, then this is definitely worth the watch, I know I'll watch it again (and again)

misslu Pretty actors in one of the worst TV movies I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong - I like bad movies, but this just seems to go on and on. It isn't that the acting is particularly bad, it's just boring. I thought it was almost over only to find it had an hour left. I used it for noise value and cleaned the house.
