Movie Reviews of Defending Your Life
Movie Review: Do Not Return to Earth
Summary: 5 Stars
Albert Brooks, known for his non-mainstream movies, and also for writing, as well as performing in his own movies, shares the screen with Meryl Streep and Rip Torn in this charming story of what happens after we die.Whoever picked the actors for their roles deserved an Oscar, as the chemistry is perfect between them. The premise of the movie is that
a soul goes to a Purgatory-type place and the previous life is prosecuted, defended and judged in a court of law as to whether it will move on to become a higher-intelligence inhabitant of the Universe, or go back into another body and try again until they get it right.
Rent, buy or steal it, but make sure that you view it.

"Defending Your Life" with Albert Brooks + Meryl Streep
This is my favorite movie ever.
I love this movie and never get tired of it.
It's a sweet and funny romantic comedy.
Makes you smile through the whole movie and is refreshingly different.
Clever writing and warm hearted lovable characters.
If you don't love this movie, check to see if you have a pulse and a heart.
** This is the one movie that I wish I could get everyone to watch. **
It's the only movie on that list. A "must see" movie, that you probably never heard about. Don't miss it. Buy it, you'll want to have it to share.
Movie Review: I use 47% of my brain - guess how much you use?
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are not a follower of the traditional love story, Defending Your Life is the movie for you. It's more than a non-traditional love story. Brooks dies and goes to Heaven...not so fast. Brooks, throughout his past lives(!) settled for less. Unknown to him, this is his 20th visit to Judgement City, an afterlife evaluation city that makes the final prognosis, if you will, to send him to Heaven or back to earth for the 21st time. With an all-star cast, this has to be my favorite Albert Brooks movie, hands down. Funny, clever and original. Over the last 15 years, I must have turned a couple dozen people on to this movie. A Must Own.Movie Review: DEFENDING ALBERT BROOKS
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Mr. Brooks at his side-splittingest and most sardonic as he prepares to enter the afterlife and must defend the decisions he made in life. This film is clever on all levels. Casting Meryl Streep as someone who has nothing to defend was a stroke of genius. Watch for Shirley MacLaine in a howlingly funny cameo. I have watched this again and again to make up for all the people who didn't see it in the theaters. I have given it as a gift many, many times to people who have never heard of it. I hate to use the term "feel-good" as it is overworked with regard to film, but when this one ends, I'm happy that I watched it.Movie Review: Journey of the soul
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. For those of you who believe in the existence of the soul and what happens after you die, this movie is for you. It tells the story of a man defending his past life to a panel of judges in judgment city. Is he ready to go on to heaven or does he need to go back to earth and do it all over again. The character very well played by Albert Brooks seems to muddle through his defense mimicking how he muddled through his life on earth. He realizes this as he hears the judgment to return to earth. His one act of bravery changes his destiny and he goes on to heaven. It is a funny, feel good movie and a must see.
