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.
September 30, 2008The higher power aspect of this movie is untouched by any other. Facing your fears is the point of life and the point is not MONEY!

You might delight in this movie too! This is one of my favorite movies, top ten of all time. Every time I feel a little blue, I think of this movie and feel better. When I feel a little lost in the grand scheme of the Universe, I watch this movie. Each and every time I watch it, I laugh and feel good about being alive. I also feel less fearful about death after watching the film.
You might want to give it a try. I'm glad I did. You might live a little better today and die a little happier tomorrow.
September 2, 2008In my opinion, this is Albert Brooks best movie. It offers a whole new slant on death and a lot of healthy laughter.

A terrific movie for anyone, any time. It's been a favorite of mine for years -- the wit, humor, and wry sense of Brooks' irony never fail to please. But it is also an immensely comforting movie to see if you've lost someone close... We can always hope that death isn't final, and that there is joy in the afterlife.
