Made In Heaven

It's a great movie

I fell in love with everything about this movie when I was young! I love that it's tragic, happy, funny, with a bit of real life and fantasy subject all in one.. i wish movies such as this one were popular. It is a bit more wholesome than now a days movies, in my opinion .

LOVE - is what this movie is about. In fact, I think this is one of the best and sweetest movies about love. It reminded me about myself in my teen age, before I even felt the first touch or kiss. I already knew and felt something like this. As if I already have experienced it. Not just the touch, not just the kiss, but the sensation of intimacy and closeness, that accompanies it. Since then I have barely sensed it in my real life after having a few lovers and being married. But I always knew, that there is something - something very deep and I will feel it. This movie was like an illustration to what I felt: we are all looking for something sacred, unexplainable, something that we have felt long ago (if ever) in this life. May be, that something - is the love from heaven - pure, simple, strong, and deep. May be that's why we don't want to settle and be with somebody we don't really feel deeply connected. I think that a lot of people just see this movie as an easy chick flick - angels, heavens, a little drama here and there just for the sake of happy ending. But to me it's not. To me it's such an inspiration in support on my path to a deeper, meaningful connection, a reminder, that may be, I am right not to agree to have "something" instead of having it all... We'll see, time will tell. Meanwhile, I am so happy to own this on DVD now: I used to have a VHS, but a DVD copy is widescreen, and the quality is, of course, incomparably better.

Made In Heaven is a film starring Kelly McGillis as initially Annie Packert and Timothy Hutton initially as Mike Shea. The character of Mike Shea dies via drowning after attempting to save some people from being trapped in an automobile. Shea was on his way to California before his death and had just been dumped by his girlfriend. Mike Shea dies and is then greeted in heaven by his Aunt Lisa (Maureen Stapleton). His aunt explains to him how heaven works and he soon goes about seeing what heaven is like for himself. He soon meets a spirit named Annie and unexpectedly falls in love with her. Annie ends up reincarnating back on earth just as her and Mike were mapping out their life together in heaven. Anyhow, the spirit of Mike Shea petitions with one of heaven’s guides named Emett (Debra Winger) in order to reincarnate back on earth. The reason being is because he obviously loves Annie dearly and appears to naturally be hesitant to wait the length of another human lifetime just to be with her. There are multiple guest appearances from other celebrities in Made In Heaven As Well (Tom Petty, Ric Ocasek from the Cars, Ellen Barkin, and Neil Young). This film is best for those who like romantic movies with a spiritual slant.

This film seems to have been largely overlooked at the time of its release and has remained unrecognised, undeservedly so. Indeed, it has only recently released on dvd, many years after I first saw it on the big screen. There are some terrific performances and the film has many strong points and themes. I feel that it does lack in areas and I get the feeling that that is only because its producers didn't really follow through on their themes and basic ideas with enough gusto. It sometimes feels as though they were holding back. The performances of the supporting cast are a real highlight for me, particularly Maureen Stapleton, Ellen Barkin and Ann Wedgeworth, and Timothy Hutton also does really well. It's a film that always leaves me wanting more and, in this case, I'm not sure that's a positive. It's not that I want to know how the story continues, that's a given, it's that I wish they had given more detail to, well, most scenes. It's as if they only summarised each chapter.I do love this film and have watched it many times, always picking up new tidbits, but I always wish that they have believed a little more in what they were doing and really given it more polish. Oh, and there's a great soundtrack too.

Stumbled across it while browsing old movie DVDs and bought it. It's a corny movie by today's standards but I still enjoy the days of movies that weren't all sex and violence.

Friend of mine kept harping that I needed to see this movie called 'Made in Heaven.' I finally gave in and sat down and watched it with him and immediately searched the internet trying to find a copy of my own. Finally finding one, I watched it over and over again until I had to buy a new tape because the original one died and went to tape heaven.Mike Shea (Timothy Hutton) is a man who gets dumped by his girlfriend and decides to move to California to start over. On his way there, he stops to rescue a family out of their car that is in water and drowns and goes to Heaven where he meets new soul Annie (Kelly McGillis) who is a guide of sorts in Heaven. They fall in love and you can guess the rest. The premise of this movie is that all things will eventually be sent back to earth. While walking in Heaven, Mike finds out that people can stay in Heaven any where from six minutes to three hundred years. It all depends.Cute and charming but dramatically overlooked, this movie is a gem. The cameos range from Debra Messing as 'Emmett' to singers Tom Petty and Niel Young. Most of the cameos are uncredited, so you have to watch, but it never surprises me that no matter how many times I watch this movie, it never gets old.

bon petit film de fin de soirée.mais quand même un brouillon.histoire n'est pas peaufinée.un remake est nécessaire.en anglais et dvd seulement.ils auraient pu faire plus.

I bought 2 of these when I ordered it. I was so happy to find this movie. Growing up this was mine and my sisters most favorite movie of all time. I bought one for myself and one for my sister. It's still my favorite movie of all time and I have been so happy to have gotten to share it with my friends.
