5 People you meet in Heaven

rlander · 12-06-2004

Did anyone watch this last night? I could only stay up until 9:30 so I only saw half of the movie. I taped the rest and plan to watch it tonight. From what I saw, this is a fantastic and inspirational movie.

I did not watch it - we had company in all weekend and didn't get to the TV much! It looked pretty good though - let us know about the end.

It was ok. My DW who read the book said that they basically did the book chapter by chapter.

I watched the first 3rd and last 3rd. I didn't get to see the whole thing because friends and family kept calling...I'll rent it when it comes out on DVD.

I would recommend seeing it but make sure you have a big box if tissues.

I find it strange that this thread came up today. I live in Military Barracks and do not have cable. If I try really hard, I might get a Spanish channel or two. So, I didn't even know this movie was on TV. One of my good friends just happened to bring the book by my room last night and told me I should read it. I had never even heard of it and now the next day people are talking about the book/movie. Interesting Coincidence?

Main character of the book dies in a a tragic accident at the beginning of the book. He meets five people that he effected during his life that help explain what his life was about.

All five are dead? A book about 6 dead people. I don't know if I want to read something like that during the holidays. I prefer heartwarming stories. Is this story a good story?

tigger · 12-06-2004

Yeah everyone is in heaven...I can't tell you it is heart warming and I don't consider it a christmas type story. But the over all message is good.

I started watching it and got distracted. I TIVOed it so I can watch it when I can give it my total attention. Heard great things about the book

lisalovesmickey · 12-06-2004

OH MY GOSH. This is definately a heartwarming story. Definately not a Christmas story but hey it was good none the less. I watched this as the book is on my top 5 book list and I read at least one book a week.

The story is about this guy who dies in an accident while trying to save someones life. He then meets 5 people in heaven who profoundly affected his life. He learns wonderful lessons from them. Also, he feels that his life had no meaning. He learns what that meaning was.

Definately a tear jerker. Watch it. Read it. Anything. It will change how you look at your life or life in general.

P.S. My intent is not to sound preachy so sorry if I do!!!!!
