Heaven Sent

This movie is great from beginning to end. It so nicely features the Pearl Street Mall of Boulder.

You must watch it at least twice to fully understand the story line. The early scene of the movie where, wedding vows are visually presented, is a nice plus since the movie is really all about marriage.

You will gain a greater appreciation for love, marriage and family by watching this movie.

I agree with others that you will fall in love with the eight year old angel in the movie.

Now, admittedly I am a HUGE Christian Kane fan. I mean I would watch an infomercial if he was in it. LOL So even though I am not normally big into Christmas movies (Love the winter holiday and giving gifts and family and all, but I'm pagan so the Christian aspects of it just leave me a bit flat), I had to watch. I mean Christian is in it. But honestly I loved EVERYTHING about it. It's sweet, dear and that little girl just steals every scene. LOL Christian adores children to begin with and that comes through in his scenes with that adorable little blond bundle of smiles and giggles. That wasn't acting, that was just him and it was obvious it was. Seriously, this just has to be seen. And the best part, and I don't really think this is spoilery at all, but... Christian sings Christmas carols to the little girl in one scene and it's just amazing.

Yes, I know it ticks all the boxes, formulaic, tick, overly sentimental, tick, even a bit manipulative, tick, and yet.... You can't help but be charmed by the story, can't help but fall in love with that little blonde angel, coming down to earth to help a couple fall in love again. I honestly wish Hollywood made more movies like this, a beautifully sweet little movie that all the family can enjoy, devoid of profanity, pointless sexual references or violence etc. I fell in love with this movie, with the beautiful story and the sassy little blonde angel. I couldn't help but smile a huge grin at some of the charming dialogue from that little girl. I found myself recollecting it again the following day and smiling all over again. There are very few movies I can say that about. I won't spoil it for you by telling specifics or how it ends, but it's a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. Maybe I'm getting overly sentimental in my old age, but I loved it and I think you will to.

This movie is a beautiful handling of a very sensitive subject. The Christmas setting making it all the more poignant. It's a movie I wish had been made earlier in my life as it has made Christmas easier to deal with. The acting and directing is so beautifully handled and covers so many emotions, and struggles that we can probably all identify with. It's a different kind of Christmas movie, but is now my all time favourite.

I only rate about 10% of the movies a 10 and this one gets it. We have a fantasy story with a bit of a surprise at the end. Story keeps you engaged until the end. The story allows for some great humor and emotion. Such as the divorce papers never getting signed. Loved the mirror scenes. We have 3 main characters with no real distractions. Christian Kane plays the husband Billy, Marley Shelton plays the wife Maire and and the little girl Taylor is adorable. The Billy character really made the story. It was played with some real emotion and was not boring. Maire is well done and of course the little girl was adorable. No boring parts just a good fun story. I would enjoy watching again.
