Heaven Sent (2015) Reviews

• The Film Breaks Its Own Rules and Suffers For It

  Christmas-Reviewer2017-05-08

  BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. A good Samaritan is killed before Christmas and is granted the chance to return to Earth to help a needy soul. The needy soul we find out is her ex-boyfriend who she broke up with on Christmas Eve a year prior to her own passing. The film quickly establishes its rules and you buy into it however the ending makes zero sense. This harms the movie and it ending makes the whole movie a failure. Had it stayed true to its rules then the film would have been one of the better television films of the past few years.

• Not good

  Sober-Friend2017-05-08

  This movie has a personality complex. It has no idea what it wants to be. That is sad that the film starts off so well but then goes off the rails fast. In this film a woman must perform a few good deeds before she can enter heaven. She only has a limited amount of time. If she fails she is stuck in purgatory. My main problem is that the protagonist is not a bad person. She was helping a man retrieve his dog when she dies. When she is sent back to earth she is sent to help her old boyfriend. When she reveals himself to him he can't believe that she is not dead. Later on in the story he can no longer see her but his girlfriend/love interest can. By the time the film ends you will be mad. The ending on the surface is nice but it causes a major loophole that is never disgust. The writer of this should be thrown under a bus!

• OMG so FUN!

  This movie was fun from the very beginning, and though there was some fear it would fall apart along the way, luckily it didn't ever lose steam. It keeps pushing right along with lots of great humour and a bit of romance too. You gotta love a movie that not only steals a scene from another movie, leaving the viewers saying out loud, that that scene is a rip off, when lo' and behold one of the characters actually admits they are scene stealing from the said movie! So fun! So refreshing. The lead actor looking a bit like Patrick Swayze and a Ghost being central to the story line just added a bit more fun to the already wonderful story. There is so much unpredictable stuff in this film it all adds up to a wonderful sitting. It joyfully steals from plenty of movies that came before but with it all being tongue in cheek, it's all so worth it. Yes, I loved this movie. Merry Christmas Sarah!

• Ok, no Academy Awards, but very nice Christmas romance

  cwg2005a2018-12-15

  Sometimes I think reviewers ignore the genre of film they are reviewing: this is a TV-Christmas movie, with thwarted romance, second chances ... all the plot items you expect when tuning in Hallmark or ION in December. Two things set this apart: the characters are likeable, or course, but there is no "bad" boyfriend or girlfriend here. Secondly, the ending, which I will no spoil, was completely unforeseen and done very well. By the way, the heaven gate-keeper was also done really well. Look, everyone knows they are making a cheesy film, and it takes work to play these characters "straight." So I applaud the actors and director. Bottom line: I liked it.
