Movie Reviews of Angel in the Family
Movie Review: Theologically trajic, but has a point
Summary: 3 Stars
The idea of this film is false, and not remotely realistic, which no other reviewers seem to mention! Meridith is great as always, and the characters, apart from the father, are realistic enough, but hardly superb. There are a lot of missing elements in the plot lines. Both girls hate each other and feel their lives are harder than anyone elses, which in some ways is realistic, other ways, pathetic. The dad is acting a little too hard all the way through. He seems out of his mind and like he should be avoided. At times Meridith is invisible, at other times, not. I don't believe, and the bible does not teach that people die and become angels, so the whole idea is goofy. But for young kids, be aware that it is about death and life after death, not really something for young kids.
However, there are some bright spots. The idea that the mom held the family together is quite realistic, and something folks can relate to. The idea that the little things we do affect our future, or even eternity is clear and note worthy. It started some conversations and thoughts going in our family. Not really a feel good movie for the holidays, but definitely of the Christmas sort. I wouldn't buy it. Rent it if you want an evening with adults, but again, not the best out there.
Movie Review: Good Story Theme -but sad
Summary: 3 Stars
It was about second chances and had a happy ending; however, the bulk of the movie was about all the mistakes the family members made. I was glad for the happy ending but it took a long time to get there.Movie Review: Angel in the Family
Summary: 3 Stars
Story was good, but definitely a fairy tale. Plot addressed common problems within many familys. Issues were resolved.Movie Review: Soso movie
Summary: 2 Stars
The idea of reconciliation and completing loose ends is good but many don't have a second chance after they die!
a soso movie with a peaceful feel except when the psychological monster fights with her sister.
Movie Review: Painful for anyone who has lost a beloved parent
Summary: 1 Stars
I started watching this movie when I was feeling a bit sick thinking that it would make me feel better. It started off interesting and had promise until the long-dead mother started baking pies and making hot chocolate, and then actually appearing. Anyone who has lost a beloved parent (or sibling, child, friend, etc.) always wishes for them to come back, but that never happens. I started feeling uncomfortable when the beds were suddenly made and the house was somehow completely decorated, but I turned the movie off when the dead mother appeared.
The movie did not feel hopeful; it felt hurtful. I'm not against movies about angels helping families. I actually like that type of movie, but this one just felt wrong. There are so many other good holiday movies; I suggest skipping this one.
