Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Jennifer (LadySailor1975) This is one of the best movies that exists! Jon Voight is an awesome actor and he played the role so very well. In this movie, Eddie (Voight) is a maintenance worker at a small amusement park on a pier. A nice man yet not happy with his life, he feels trapped and feels that he didn't accomplish what he had wanted when he was young. As he is working one day, he sacrifices his own life as he tries to save a young child from a potentially life-threatening situation. This begins his journey to Heaven. Along the way, he meets five people that show him he was right where he belonged and right where God wanted him all along. He learns some truths behind some of the saddest and some of the happiest times of his life. Beautifully written with wonderful acting, this movie will move you. Even if you are not religious, you will love every second of this movie.

rioplaydrum A very refreshing film (as I did find the book) that confirms to us uncertain humans that maybe our lives do mean more than we know.Remember that (then) ugly girl you saved from the bullies after school? How about the complete stranger you changed a tire for on the side of that desolate highway 30 years ago? This movie just might leave you wondering late into the night how it all might add up in the next world.My only problem with the film was the over-sweet and dominating presence of Ellen Burstyn's character. Her building and ubiquitous performance led me to believe she might appear in my living room along with Mary Poppins at the end of the show. Aside from that, Jon Voight delivered his utmost, and I was not disappointed.

patbaker-1 This movie was a pleasant surprise. The director managed to include all that was necessary to tell the story from beginning to end, yet keep it short and sweet.Most importantly, the movie retained the pleasant, almost eerie feeling of Albom's book. Nothing syrupy: it's shown from Eddie's viewpoint.Good, understated performances from actors that understood the message and the meaning of it all, ensemble-style. Viewer may not recognize his or her favorite stars in this one.Five People is worth the purchase, because this film is for sharing and for viewing over and over again. In fact, it will be necessary to watch more than once to catch all the details.

texdot I substitute teach at a woman's prison and saw "Five People You Meet In Heaven" while there. I watched the movie 4 times in a week when the girls watched it. I liked it so much I bought it and then had to buy a DVD player. It is the first DVD I have owned. I watched it again since then with a friend and she enjoyed it very much. I have told our youth pastor he need to get it and show it to the youth. I know I will watch this movie many more times. I see something I didn't see the first time each time I watch it. I have been trying to think of five people I would see when I get to Heaven. I hope one of them will be my husband of 30 years. He has been gone 20 years.
