Featured reviews
A typical straight to Netflix movie but I did quite enjoy this movie over the Christmas build up. The plot was different and the lead characters were likable. The angel in heaven who helps Sarah is a great character and I liked the entry to heaven concept with the iPad.The main male character was likable and his moments with Sarah added some humour. The young boy is great to watch on screen too. The ending was a bit confusing though in that it isn't quite logical to the whole story line but who cares!
A good movie to watch during the day in the lead up to Christmas with a cuppa and a few biscuits

Four excellent performances: Sarah (Lindsey Gort), Jordan (Derek Theler), Daphne Angel (Kathleen Rose Perkins) and the boy Mason (Caleel Harris). It was a fun movie and I wouldn't mind watching it again. The story got a bit convoluted/strange when Sarah came back and only the girl friend could see her. I liked the ending (happy surprise) whereas some of the reviews already posted complained. I especially loved the part of Daphne the Angel (some good lines and laughs). Also loved the boy who reminded me of the young Gus on Psych. My wife did dose near the end on the part where only the girl friend could see Sarah. Definitely a lull there but an uplift at the end.
This is a hard movie to rate now. I am not a big fan of...let's refer to them as, "holiday romance movies"; preferring the Christmas Classics that became classics because of their Christmas magic. But this one looked like it was worth watching because of the fantasy aspects of the storyline. I was enjoying it (yes, it's not Oscar material...big deal), then BAM !!!!! who the hell came up wih that ending? I have to agree with one of the other reviewers, that the writer is the one who needs to be thrown under the bus. What a last minute disappointment, spoiled the whole movie.
I loved this movie! The witty humor was so cute and funny. I loved the part where she says "Hey wait a minute, how come he gets to go in? The lady says "don't you know, all dogs go to heaven". Lol!! The only thing I didn't like was the girl her old boyfriend likes. I couldn't understand why Sarah wanted them to be together when she still had feelings for him.
The writing in this movie was not perfect to say the least but the good parts of it is worth watching. I love that the characters grow and get better, I love how it has faith. This movie had good acting and good direction, only judgment that the writing could've been more real to life but it was fun and that's what movies are for, for us to enjoy ourselves, so I recommend this movie. It's a solid seven because it created love emotions and installed faith in me and it helped me in my own personal life. Please remember to have an open mind when watching this movie, it's more real to life than you may think.
