DVD Reviews of The Five People You Meet in Heaven

DVD Review: Great little movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I used this movie in conjunction with teaching A Prayer for Owen Meany, because of the many thematic parallels. My seniors really enjoyed this movie!

DVD Review: Ending just medeocre!
Summary: 3 Stars

I have wanted to own this movie for some time. Nice trip into another world.

DVD Review: Movie's great! Much dialogue is inaudible! No captions!
Summary: 1 Stars

I had seen this film years before and really loved it. It left such an impression on me that I recently bought several copies to give away as gifts to elderly friends. While the specifications and the package say the film has "closed captions" they can't be selected from the menu; there is no "closed caption" option. Perhaps some TVs will show them anyway, but my Sony LCD didn't. To make matters worse, much of the dialogue is inaudible, over background noise. Naturally, I was extremely disappointed with this defect and I returned all DVDs. Amazon was kind enough to refund all of my money. If this problem were ever to be resolved, I would order multiple copies in a heartbeat. Thanks for reading.

DVD Review: "The Five People You Meet In Heaven"
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved the movie. It was done very faithfully to the book
and Jon Voight played the lead role brilliantly. Even though you
learn what happened right at the beginning, it's still a very enjoyable story. It would be great if it is anything similar to
this in the real world.

Jim Suckow

DVD Review: As good as the book
Summary: 5 Stars

They have done a wonderful job on the this movie. I have read the book, it follows it very closely. Great Video!

Description of The Five People You Meet in Heaven

On his 83rd birthday, Eddie, a war vet and 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.

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
