A Marriage Made in Heaven

It came on Amazon Prime right after Granchester and my wife and I got sucked into watching it.

It is so hokey and ridiculously unrealistic. It borrows heavily from It's a Wonderful Life and Back to the Future but does so poorly and with heavy religious overtones. Blech. I hate sappy, moralistic movies where people say things and comport themselves like no other human I've ever known.

If you're a normal, non-believer kind of person, you're gonna laugh at how ridiculous the dialogue and behavior of the characters are. I would normally say this is 1:25 of my life that I would really like to have back but my wife and I groaned and laughed so much it was an enjoyable time. But not for the reason the filmmaker intended.

This movie had heart, compassion and tenderness along with multiple moments of humor, Those that panned it probably have a different kind of agenda. I cannot recall when I've so enjoyed a movie about romance and multiple kinds of love. I loved the way dance was woven into the story.

The rediscovery of the romance in a marriage with kids was refreshing and a story we don't see very often. I also appreciated the focus on Greek traditions that demonstrated the deep bonds of marriage.

Read and trust the reviews that focus on the sweet and passionate moments in this movie you won't be disappointed.

A heartfelt storyline that lifts our eyes above the mundane to that which is good and beautiful.

A broken family restored.

A movie that positively enriches the soul withbgreat literature and properly quoting the Bible.

I'm not Greek. Nor am I familiar with the Orthodox church but I appreciated the authenticity of the Greek family living with divorce.

The production quality was refreshing for this genre (low cost Hallmark and NetFlick movies.) Just a a few camera angles where the lower budget bled through.

The adult actors were quality, respectable actors. The child actors showed how hard it is to show genuine emotion. Nowhere was there a model trying to break in on the silver screen.

Great movie about life, love and family.

I don't often comment on movies, but this one moved me deeply. Over 50% of all US marriages end in divorce, and it's often due to a series of poor choices made over days or weeks-choices to neglect or ignore the other person. I've been guilty of that myself. This movie inspired me to be a better husband, to cherish the moments that truly matter. The acting was impressive across the board, and the directors and writers did an incredible job keeping the film clean, wholesome, and powerful. I'm grateful to everyone who made this movie possible. It's a must-watch, and I give it a well-deserved 10 out of 10. Let this film inspire you too-take the time to watch it and reflect on what truly matters in your relationships.

This movie has been slammed with bad reviews. I completely disagree. Yes the guy has money in this movie, so what? People can't have money and a heart?! The premise of this movie unfortunately is true in so many couples' lives. Work takes presidence over relationships. Our pride gets in the way of realizing our faults and how we need to change to love others the way we should, unconditionally and unselfishly, putting the precious people in our lives 1st. This guy realizes with the help of an Angel (also exist) to realize he needs to put his wife and family 1st in every way. No matter the consequences. Fortunately it's not too late, wife and kids respond, and their family gets back on track to be a family again. They'll have to continue on this path for the rest of their lives. The movie can't go on forever to reveal there will be more setbacks, mistakes, and reconciliations. That's the hard work of relationships.
