Mr. Manhattan

Perhaps the best GAF or Hallmark movie in a long time. Great script and great acting. The story has a variety of parallel storylines including business clients, careers, children, and romance. Great writing for dialog between kids, who were struggling lost parents, and lead actors. The child actors were charming and entertaining. The story deals with several tough realistic life issues and offers sound advice at difficult crossroads for the various challenges each of the characters are facing. The movie is set in NYC which plays an entertaining and instrumental role in the storyline, adding to the dynamic storyline.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie! A difficult story to tell and was presented in OUTSTANDING taste! The thought processes of the characters were detailed extremely well and help the viewer understand the trajectory of those decisions. The entire cast were fantastic in their respective roles. Tear-jerker moments and appreciation of "ordinary" that becomes "extraordinary" moments all contained in the movie. Special kuddos to the children in this movie as well as Team Awesome PenaVegas who are extremely talented. A great reality story to watch, that makes the viewers think, and encourages viewers in how to see Divine Intervention in daily circumstances and deal with difficutlt issues sucessfully. A GEM!!

To say this was brutal is an understatement. The lead characters are married in real life and this most always leads to a train wreck. Acting was weak at best, storyline incredibly predictable. While watching my gf and I were saying the lines before they were actually spoken. This service asks if my review contains a spoiler. If you can't predict the outcome 10 mins into the movie, you've been living in a box. This is a heavy faith based movie which made it a little preachy (pardon the pun). Don't know why we bothered, guess it was a slow TV night. I should have watched my grass grow instead. This was a BIG miss for me.

Oh wow! I went into watching this movie thinking I wasn't going to like it. Not usually a fan of the PenaVega movies, but boy was I wrong about this one. Some parts sweet and sentimental. Some parts were almost too real and painful to watch and realize that this really can and does happen to families. Reuben and AJ are phenomenal young actors. Their acting at some parts tore my heart out, not sure how they were able to show such an amazing range of emotions.

While I realize some people don't like faith based movies, I found it quite refreshing and at no point was God or religion just tossed in. It was organic, it wasn't just put in there for no reason. It was a continuation of the family. All in all, this was a keeper.

We watched bollywood movie Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke which was released in 1993. That movie was superhit and all actors including child characters worked great. The story of this movie is very similar to the bollywood one. Instead of three kids, they used two kids into this one. Instead of male lead's sister kids, they used male lead's brother kids. Im the bollywood version, the male lead's love interest is his boss's daughter. In this one his love interest is real estate lady. Theme and concept is same but some characters and story line were updated. Overall it is really good movie to watch. It has a family story, love story, comedy, religious things all includes. Full family movie.
