Un ángel caído del cielo

Yes, I know it ticks all the boxes, formulaic, tick, overly sentimental, tick, even a bit manipulative, tick, and yet.... You can't help but be charmed by the story, can't help but fall in love with that little blonde angel, coming down to earth to help a couple fall in love again. I honestly wish Hollywood made more movies like this, a beautifully sweet little movie that all the family can enjoy, devoid of profanity, pointless sexual references or violence etc. I fell in love with this movie, with the beautiful story and the sassy little blonde angel. I couldn't help but smile a huge grin at some of the charming dialogue from that little girl. I found myself recollecting it again the following day and smiling all over again. There are very few movies I can say that about. I won't spoil it for you by telling specifics or how it ends, but it's a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. Maybe I'm getting overly sentimental in my old age, but I loved it and I think you will to.

We live in a movie age that prizes high power special effects and depicts countless criminal acts from theft to robbery to torture to murder to mass murder. So the non-vicious, non-violent movies that are made can seem tame, maybe boring.

Don't let the insanity of evil and violence fill your every entertainment moment. Try a movie that explores the human condition played out in normal lives, one that explores the spiritual dimensions, one that makes you think and laugh and cry a little, too.

Wife and I were gripped and held by this movie, start to finish. Others here have written about the plot and the strengths of the acting and directing -- and we agree with those positive reviews. Heaven Sent is a family-friendly movie that blends some levity with serious life challenges, triggering something deeper in the process.

This movie ranks at the top of movies among the Lifetime and Hallmark channel offerings, and in our view, is nearly as good a film as Family Man. We'll watch it every year from here on.

So nice and refreshing to see a nice wholesome family movie. Christian Kane is wonderful in this roll. The whole cast is great and the little girl is just so cute. Marley Shannon is awesome also.

I recommend watching this movie any time of the year. You won't be disappointed. The story is a nice reminder of love and family.

It is centered around the Holidays, so it is very well in line with all the pretty good Christmas movies. It's about a couple who are in the process of divorcing, but because of something that happened during their marriage perhaps??, they might have begun to drift away from each other. One wants the divorce more than the other. Along comes someone special in their lives to help keep them together. Does it work? You'll have to watch it to see for yourself, but it does have a cool and unique take on what might have caused the distance between the two. I like this movie a lot! It doesn't have a common title centered around the holidays or Christmas, but it does take place during the holidays. I watched this on the Lifetime channel, not knowing it was in tune with the holidays, I decided to watch it anyway. Glad I did because it wasn't a waste of my time.

Now, admittedly I am a HUGE Christian Kane fan. I mean I would watch an infomercial if he was in it. LOL So even though I am not normally big into Christmas movies (Love the winter holiday and giving gifts and family and all, but I'm pagan so the Christian aspects of it just leave me a bit flat), I had to watch. I mean Christian is in it. But honestly I loved EVERYTHING about it. It's sweet, dear and that little girl just steals every scene. LOL Christian adores children to begin with and that comes through in his scenes with that adorable little blond bundle of smiles and giggles. That wasn't acting, that was just him and it was obvious it was. Seriously, this just has to be seen. And the best part, and I don't really think this is spoilery at all, but... Christian sings Christmas carols to the little girl in one scene and it's just amazing.
