Mr. Manhattan

Good evening, Just finished watching the movie. Needed a tissue. Was only familiar with part of the story. Worked BG in NYC. Was able to see myself for a second in the park scene when they were walking and back view at the baseball field. Loved watching this wonderful, real husband and wife and their portrayal. Realistic and totally believable. They are my favorites and watch all their films when they are on. Didn't realize who they were. Just saw two awesome actors who were so professional. I highly recommend seeing Mr. Manhattan! Has everything. Joy, tears, conflict and above all...faith. Very interesting how life changes when faced with a new challenge.

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.

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!!

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.

First, we could not understand much of the conversation. So we tried to enable 'Closed Caption' and guess what? No Closed Caption! I suppose the Closed Caption equipment couldn't understand the verbiage either. We turned the volume up really high, and all it did was make the blurred verbiage loud and still not understandable.

Second, Carlos just wasn't a Manhattan/Wall Street kind of guy so that went over like a lead balloon. Maybe he could be a mechanic or a plumber, or the yard guy, but casting him as a high powered NY type just didn't fly. Besides, he was entirely too nice for that job.

After about 15 minutes of frustration at not understanding lots of the script, the DVR was quickly cleared of this dog of a movie. It was a solid '1.' Here is a hint: Next time, hire professionals that are working behind the camera.
