Based on the bestseller by Mitch Albom (Tuesdays With Morrie), The Five People You Meet in Heaven takes up where It’s A Wonderful Life left off. In the Capra classic, George Bailey gets a vision of life without him. In this Hallmark Hall of Fame production, Eddie (Jon Voight), an amusement park maintenance man and war veteran, ends up in Heaven after an accident takes his life. There he meets five people from his past: the Blue Man (Jeff Richards), the Captain (Michael Imperioli), Marguerite (Dagmara Dominczyk), Ruby (Ellen Burstyn), and Tala (Nicaela and Shelbie Weigel). Each shows him how he impacted their life or they his--and not always for the better. (In these flashbacks, Callahan Brebner and Steven Grayhm play the young Eddie.) The point may seem simplistic--everyone is connected--but The Five People You Meet in Heaven finds a unique and engaging way to make it. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 This Is An Excellent Piece Of Work!!, 2008-09-05
I came into the knowledge of this movie late...
like, just today! (-:
I find that Mitch Albom's work creates strong
reactions from people. Either they totally get it
and love it or they completely miss it and hate it!
---I LOVE HIS WORK!!---
This story teaches great lessons about forgiveness,
self-sacrifice, and our inter-connectivity to humanity
& the bigger picture as a whole.
I truly believe that our souls are not free until
we learn the lessons we missed..preferably while
we're still here, but if we don't, as many who pass on
never do, we learn them on the otherside before we are
able to claim our piece of heaven!
The role of the main character Eddie is expertly
played by veteran actor John Voight.
The supporting cast all play their roles very
believably and with great impact.
Michael Imperioli, Jeff Daniels, Ellen Burstyn
and Dagmara Dominczyk all shine and deserve kudos!
I'm not going to give all the story away, but it really
takes you on a journey of the spirit and makes you think.
In the end, you come away feeling good and inspired!
Unlike so many movies today!
It's well worth adding to your collection.

5 people You Meet in Heaven, 2008-08-02
This is a very good movie. I shared it with friends and they liked it as well. I rented this movie, not knowing what it was about and thoroughly enjoyed it. I purchased it when two members of my family died and it brought some comfort, not only to myself but others as well.

Must See!, 2008-06-26
I really enjoyed this movie... reminds you that everything you do, good or bad affects others. That everything matters. If people understand what this movie is trying to say, it will effect a change in society. Watch it and try to prove me wrong!

Five People You Meet In Heaven, 2008-06-18
This is definitely a "feel good" movie in the tradition of "It's A Wonderful Life" except Eddie is dead. He thinks he achieved nothing and amounted to nothing in his life. Without spoiling the movie, he is shown a different perspective.
