Heavens to Betsy

This movie shows what happens when we put our own desires first without understanding God has a good plan for us. I went away from watching it rehearsing in my mind and heart the last scene where Betsy is praying to God. She is using words in this scene that are quite thought provoking and life changing. I loved the message it taught. Many funny moments too.

This movie would be fine for those of you who live in a fairy tale World.

But I found it to be biased. Very Pro God, and just too far-fetched for me. But alas, I'm a realist.

I wanted to tune out, but I kept thinking it was going to get better, so I stayed with it. I just wasted a few hours of my life!

And the restaurant scene where she was trying to talk to her sister? Ridiculously LOUD background noise - repeated soundtrack of silverware and plate clacking & clinking noises. Any director in their right mind knows that should fade out for the conversations unless it is part of the subject of the conversation. But even though it was irrelevant it downed on through the whole damn scene! I know that's kind of a silly thing to focus on, but I really did bother me.

You may notice a couple negative reviews on this site. Notice the jargon and technical viewpoints they use. These are not your typical audience/reviewers. I would suufice it to say that they are... A. Would be talent/directors who can't actually produce anything on their own and thus derive thrills and satisfaction from (poorly) ATTEMPTING to tear rain on others parades. I pray for you frustrated no-talents. :) B. Chances are these negative reviewers were people who were rejected at the films auditions. So because they couldn't cut the mustard 'professionally' they have decided to act-out like their temper tantrums in a 'UN-professional' manner...which i suspect is why they didn't get the gig to begin with, unprofessional brats! Peace <><

This movie started off pretty slow. And some of the acting appears more amateur than professional. And some parts are so cheesy that the writer should have been fired. I was seriously thinking of giving up on it - but I'm really glad that I didn't.

It got better, little by little. Until eventually by the end it was a pretty decent movie. (Hence my 8 out of 10 rating.) The acting improved sufficiently as the movie progressed. But most pleasing of all was the storyline. It started off disjointed but the ending was really good in bringing everything together.

This movie won't win an Oscar but it's worth watching, in my opinion.

I sat down hoping to enjoy this film, and I simply did not. I always hope to see indie films that rise above the rest, and this one didn't. The story is basically a mix stolen from several other films. It seems to take the most from Bruce Almighty, a Jim Carey vehicle from the early 2000's.

The acting is pretty subpar from most of the cast, there are a few good moments here and there. The writing is really very bad. It's not funny, it stalls out and dies on delivery. I think a lot of the problems with this film fall onto the director, there was a lot that could have been done to make this work, and it just felt lazily shoved together.

I was able to see the film on pureflix, and they usually have some pretty good stuff, but this one I don't think the runners of pureflix even saw before they put it online. My kids grew bored with this after just the first few minutes, they ran off to play, and I stayed thinking it would pick up, it didn't.

I don't want to be mean, because I could see that some of the cast/crew was really trying, but it was also bad. Seeing the other reviews on here, they must know the director or producer, because they aren't being truthful.
