A Marriage Made in Heaven

It came on Amazon Prime right after Granchester and my wife and I got sucked into watching it.

It is so hokey and ridiculously unrealistic. It borrows heavily from It's a Wonderful Life and Back to the Future but does so poorly and with heavy religious overtones. Blech. I hate sappy, moralistic movies where people say things and comport themselves like no other human I've ever known.

If you're a normal, non-believer kind of person, you're gonna laugh at how ridiculous the dialogue and behavior of the characters are. I would normally say this is 1:25 of my life that I would really like to have back but my wife and I groaned and laughed so much it was an enjoyable time. But not for the reason the filmmaker intended.

This movie had heart, compassion and tenderness along with multiple moments of humor, Those that panned it probably have a different kind of agenda. I cannot recall when I've so enjoyed a movie about romance and multiple kinds of love. I loved the way dance was woven into the story.

The rediscovery of the romance in a marriage with kids was refreshing and a story we don't see very often. I also appreciated the focus on Greek traditions that demonstrated the deep bonds of marriage.

Read and trust the reviews that focus on the sweet and passionate moments in this movie you won't be disappointed.

A heartfelt storyline that lifts our eyes above the mundane to that which is good and beautiful.

A broken family restored.

A movie that positively enriches the soul withbgreat literature and properly quoting the Bible.

I'm not Greek. Nor am I familiar with the Orthodox church but I appreciated the authenticity of the Greek family living with divorce.

The production quality was refreshing for this genre (low cost Hallmark and NetFlick movies.) Just a a few camera angles where the lower budget bled through.

The adult actors were quality, respectable actors. The child actors showed how hard it is to show genuine emotion. Nowhere was there a model trying to break in on the silver screen.

Great movie about life, love and family.

I started watching based on the fact I didn't want anything violent and it had good reviews. I didn't realize it's a Christian based movie, but that would not have stopped me watching, had it been any good. The talk show scenes were completely unrealistic and the producer character extremely difficult to watch, due to the stupid script. The two main characters have so much makeup on their faces don't move, and everything is so sterile. Nothing out of place in their home, cars or clothes - just like real life! Why do so many movie makers think if you put a grey wig on a woman in her 60's and tell her to hunch over and shuffle, everyone will think she is really old. That's not how older people look. My review is only based on half the movie as that's all I could take. Too bad as the story is pretty cute, even if it steals from It's a Wonderful Life and Back to the Future (as another reviewer pointed out).

I can't help but notice that it's common for some to use their hatred towards others to make their comments based on whether this movie was perhaps Christian in nature, and therefore deserves a bruising score than something else that better fits their lifestyle. In other words, they promote their debachery by doing so. Whether these people like it or not, this country was established by God and movies like this are such that families can all watch it without being embarrassed by the vile content or the filthy language. The heart and soul of any country that aspires to be great is the family and its success. I loved the movie and I thought it was very well done and any movie that keeps my undivided attention is worth watching unless you're as described above. I could identify with this man somewhat because I lost my brother when I was 15 and he was 14 to Cancer and I know I will see him again one day and that day is fast approaching. I don't blame God for his death but I blame man's fallen corrupt nature inherited from Adam and the God of this world who comes to steal, kill and destroy life. But Jesus, the 2nd Adam, came to save us, deliver us and give us abundant life and someday soon eternal life.
