DVD Reviews of The Five People You Meet in Heaven

DVD Review: Great adaptation of the novel
Summary: 5 Stars

Many well known actors and a great adaptation of Mitch Albom's novel. Although the novel is much more detailed, as are many, this movie follows the story line very well with very few instances left out.

DVD Review: Lessons on life and death
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is beautifully made, geat acting and very true to the book. Very insightful and inspirational, made me want to reconnect with some of the special peaple in my life.

DVD Review: A Perfect Companion for the Book
Summary: 4 Stars

Since I am having my students (at a local two year college) read the book, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", I thought it'd be a nifty idea to watch the movie when we finish with the book. I found it on Amazon. My students are looking forward to seeing the movie. They are loving the book. The movie faithfully follows the book - which I like. The prisoner-of-war chapter in the book and scene in the movie are incredibly powerful. I think the movie was perfectly cast: Jon Voight is perfect as Eddie. I recommend that everyone read the book first, then order the movie.

DVD Review: 5 Things We Should Remember to Live By
Summary: 5 Stars

I was really inspired by this movie! Our family has several movies we watch traditionally at certain times of the year. (ie.Groundhog Day on groundhog day, etc.) I've added this to our list of family favorites. It's magical but also very practical. It reminds us that we need to forgive or become bitter and other important life lessons. I highly recommend this movie, especially to families who want to teach their children some life lessons.

DVD Review: A Great Movie and Book.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Five People You Meet In Heaven:

This is one of those life changing movies/books. A must watch/read. The movie was great, but be sure to read the book before the movie. The movie will make much more sense, if you do. A quick, easy read. You won't want to put it down.

Description of The Five People You Meet in Heaven

On his 83rd birthday eddie a war vet & a maintenance worker at the ruby pier amusement park dies while trying to save a girl who is sitting under a falling ride. When he awakens in the afterlife he encounters 5 people with ties to his corporeal existence who help him understand the meaning of his life. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/14/2006 Starring: Jon Voigt Steven Grayhm Run time: 133 minutes

Based on the bestseller by Mitch Albom (Tuesdays With Morrie), The Five People You Meet in Heaven takes up where It's A Wonderful Life left off. In the Capra classic, George Bailey gets a vision of life without him. In this Hallmark Hall of Fame production, Eddie (Jon Voight), an amusement park maintenance man and war veteran, ends up in Heaven after an accident takes his life. There he meets five people from his past: the Blue Man (Jeff Richards), the Captain (Michael Imperioli), Marguerite (Dagmara Dominczyk), Ruby (Ellen Burstyn), and Tala (Nicaela and Shelbie Weigel). Each shows him how he impacted their life or they his--and not always for the better. (In these flashbacks, Callahan Brebner and Steven Grayhm play the young Eddie.) The point may seem simplistic--everyone is connected--but The Five People You Meet in Heaven finds a unique and engaging way to make it. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
