TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews This is one of the first films I watch that stars Lacey Chabert, and I gotta say, she's talented. She nails this role, just as she has in everything else I've seen her in. Here, she plays a nurse with a strained relationship with her parents. She works at the ER, and after her father passes away when she was with another patient, things go south. Not long after, she finds herself working for a middle-aged terminal woman, and that changes her perspective completely. Every acting performance is great. The humor, whilst a lot of it is dark comedy, has a real heart and is, quite frankly, utterly hilarious. Every character is well-written, credible and consistent. The supernatural aspects tend to be *really* obvious(in spite of them not being, you know, a big, bright light or a burning bush)... can someone please explain to me why there are groups of people who believe that if something from the beyond were to send us messages, they'd be clues like you find in a crime story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie? This does get its message across nicely, and there certainly are more obnoxious movies out there that try to get you to embrace the father, son and holy spirit. Editing and cinematography are good. So is pacing. There is a little disturbing content, and an intense sequence or two. I recommend this to fans of those who made it, and/or of the genre drama. 7/10
AJinny There are few words that describe this movie better than heartwarming, moving, a true gift from Hollywood. Get out your tissues, a great cup of something comforting and be prepared to resolve some questions or feelings that you have been keeping down!! And Smile huge with a lighter heart! I lost my mom early in life and always feel there are things left unsaid. This movie gave me the feeling that even though I feel there are those unspoken words I can feel comfort in the fact that it just might be possible she knew my heart all along. It's not the religious aspect of the movie it is the discovery aspect of the movie that has given me such comfort. Kudos to Hollywood on this one!
FitzFitzBangBang If you are a newcomer to Lifetime movies and "What If God Were The Sun" was your first Lifetime movie, then you will become hooked. More often than not, Lifetime movies mirror themselves and are predictable to say the least. This movie, however, is a flawless work of art. Stephen Tolkin took a great leap forward in presentation for Lifetime movies, not to mention the gripping performances by Lacey Chabert and Gena Rowlands. I don't mean to specify excessively but the bulk of the power of this film came from Lacey Chabert's eyes. For the entirety of the film her eyes dominated the screen evoking intensely deep feelings. She was right on the mark with her performance, a feat I wasn't sure she could accomplish.The writing was exactly what it needed to be: an opportunity for the actors to perform well. Lacey Chabert delivered and Gena Rowland's Melissa was truly a character that the audience was able to feel for.Hands down a perfect ten. It was truly a magical watch.
kinnypat Did you ever cry in a movie so hard that people walked into the room and thought something terrible just happened to you? That's me at the end of watching this movie. But sometimes in the movie it was really happy too--and the acting was so amazing, Lacy (sp?)Chabert is like my favorite favorite favorite now--she was so real--I felt like I was watching somebody just going through stuff and not like they were in a movie. It made me think about all the happiness and sadness in life and how you have to try to make every day of your life a great day like Gena Rowland's character does in the movie. My mom loved it too, she was crying as hard as I was, we ran out of Kleenex half way through the movie. And I SWEAR my brother was crying too but if he saw that I wrote this he would kill me. THANK YOU LIFETIME!
