Featured reviews
This movie ranks up there with all those that can be watched time and time again and they never seem to get old or boring. I love this movie and recommend it to everyone.
A romantic movie about how someone can fall in love on first sight. What I like about this movie is its simplicity. They meet and they fall in love but as all relationships go, they lose each other. Unfortunately life is the reason. Elmo Barnett [Tim Hutton] must find his true love Ally Chandler [Kelly mcgillis] in life and he only has till his 30th birthday to do so. Kelly Mcgillis plays an emotional love sick adult that holds onto love that doesn't exist but in her mind it does. For a low cost movie I found it refreshing and emotionally strong.
I absolutly LOVE this movie. The charm and magic of the movie inspire me since I was 9 years old. Thimothy is fabulous and drives the movie to the paces of the character smoothly. For those who doesn't have a bitter heart and wants more than a Meg Ryan movie.
I'm the fan number one of the movie that must be seen by the ones searching for the twin soul.
The songs are also brilliant !!

This is my all-time favourite movie - I never tire of watching it and it's not just due to the lovely Tim Hutton!
A beautiful story of soul mates who meet and fall in love in heaven only to be parted and for them to find love (against all odds) again on Earth. Besides the wonderful leads this movie also features such diverse talents as Debra Winger, Ellen Barkin, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Matraca Berg etc. and the wonderful Neil Young penned song "We've Never Danced" sung by the talented Martha Davis.
A film not to miss.

Anytime that a movie is made about heaven, there is always the chance that people may find it unbelievable. This was not the case in this wonderful movie.
Timothy Hutton first plays Mike, a young man who dies tragically saving the lives of a woman and her two kids.
Then he does the worst possible thing that he could do. He falls in love in Heaven. In this movie, no matter who you are in Heaven, you will return to Earth.
He falls in love with Annie, played majestically by Kelly McGillis.
To make a long story short, Annie returns to Earth. And Mike begs to be returned, in hopes to find Annie on Earth as he did in Heaven. He has until his Thirtieth Birthday to find her. With Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis leading the way,and wonderful supporting performances by Maureen Stapleton, Mare Winningham, Timothy Daly, and someone who we will just call Emmett, Made in Heaven will touch your heart, make you think, and will show you that you can always find true love.

- GoofsWhen Timothy Hutton's character is touring a grade school in Heaven, the teacher (wearing the pith helmet) incorrectly tells his students that the Blue and Gold Macaw is from Suriname South 'Africa', when in fact Macaws are indigenous to Central and South America, and Suriname is in South America.
