      Audience Member It is a very good family movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most beautiful stories of a loving family trying to keep their matriarch alive when she is diagnosed with consumption. This is a beautifully written movie that is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes. One of my favorite movies that I WATCH SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Love the movie would like to buy on dvd. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a wondeful movie and I am trying to find a copy I can buy Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I have been trying to get a DVD of Papa's Angels for two years. I can't imagine why it has disappeared from the Christmas movie scene. It was one of the most authentic movies I've ever seen. ...Even the music was a real early American sound. And Bakula's acting, as well as all the other actors', was absolutely outstanding. The old-timey superstitions were so typical of the kind of back-country lore we've just about lost from our repertoire. If I could find even some used DVDs, I'd gladly buy two or three of them, in order to give them to people I know with discriminating taste. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member What a sappy film. A family oriented drama, overacted and poorly directed. The acting is barely adequate. Not at all convincing, it plays like a bad Lifetime channel movie, not that their is a good Lifetime movie... Fake twangy accents abound. it just isn't very good.
