Marit Risto F Women are sent to Hell, because their legs have aged naturally 😱 They believe they have to marry, because they kiss 😵‍💫 Must have been before the dinosaurs died, no? Then the nanny is fired because the young man drank a glass of bubbly? The upper lip might have been way too stiff 😶 All the men look the same, and without subtitles I couldn't undressed what they actually did. Fell asleep too, because it was so boring. The "hero" took a tremendous amount of drugs, and died? But had a 24 years old girlfriend? What was she thinking? That he had money?! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review b v When it first starts out, it feels slightly dated perhaps, but once it gets going, I think it's actually quite a beautiful movie. It's not a 9 or a 10. I think it's a 7.5 or an 8.2 out of 10 depending on your frame of mind. Once I gave into the film, it was an 8.2 out of 10 for me. It's a bubble gum romance where, despite the occasional wandering of the husband, the wife forgives him and loves him - and obviously leaves with him with a tremendous feeling of guilt. Have a grilled cheese with some tomato soup, and then watch the movie without thinking too deeply about it. When it ends, you'll have a smile on your face. Then, you'll either go and cheat on your wife knowing she'll forgive you, or you'll think, man, they sure were lucky back in 1943, and then you'll go pick up your kids from soccer. : ) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Alec B The ending is a fairly obvious one but the rest of the movie is often operating on a more complex level than you might expect from this type of comedy. It's also very funny which doesn't hurt. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review nick s I'll give it high marks for the production effort, but the humour feels like a product of its time. A little too dated for me. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review joel h Heaven Can Wait is like a lesser version of It's a Wonderful Life. The plot is about a look back through someone's life in order to find the moments that defined them. However, Heaven Can Wait uses the framework of a man who is trying to figure out if he is destined for heaven or if he's supposed to go "where innumerable people had told him so often to go." It was entertaining to see Don Ameche as a young man playing an old man, when I've only really known him as an old man in my lifetime. It takes a little while to get where it's going, but it has some endearing moments, and it also makes you think. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Ed M Slow, dated. Although seeing Charles Coburn and Eugene Pallette in the same movie is awesome. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/29/21 Full Review Read all reviews
