Summary: Did they know what they wrote?
Comment: I saw this movie a number of years ago and thought it was cute. When I found it on DVD I bought it thinking it would make a nice addition to my easy watching collection. I watched it and found it had a whole new meaning to me and wondered "Did they know what they wrote"? Very interesting point of view as well as fun to watch.

Summary: Journey of the soul
Comment: 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.

Summary: A Wonderful Film On Any Plane Of Existence
Comment: 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.
