Audience Member Love it. Even though I'm 19 and in college, I still love watching VeggieTales movies like this. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Of all the Veggie Tales movies, this was probably my least favorite. Could it be because I'm older now or because Big Idea Productions is getting lazy and sloppy? I'm not sure. Silly Songs with Larry was replaced by Bedtime Lullabies with Jr. It was super cute and probably my favorite part of the movie. This movie borrowed heavily from classic Christmas movies and there was one scene that made me teary-eyed involving an adopted daughter. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member While a movie about vegetables is limited in its potential to become a cinematic masterpiece, "It's a Meaningful Life" provides a good message while entertaining fans of "It's a Wonderful Life" with its many parallels to the original and clever ways of getting around content that children would not understand (like a toy train factory instead of a building and loan). I typically don't view VeggieTales as I typically view movies (intently analyzing the character development and acting) since these are just fun videos to watch with my nieces and nephews; however, when I noticed this particular one and it's parallel to the traditional Christmas film, I decided that I should watch it. It's 1 1/2-star rating is not a reflection of its entertainment value, but for the simple reason that I cannot rate computer-animated vegetables on the same level as a film starring Morgan Freeman or Meryl Streep. Besides, they didn't have any Silly Songs with Larry. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched @ church in Sunday School class.. while teaching 1st & 2nd grade... The KIDS loved it.. and I liked it too! I like the similarities to "It's A Wonderful Life" with a biblical meaning. Deal with what God hands you! It's YOUR life! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member My son loves this movie! He was initially drawn to it because there is a train in it, and he does particularly enjoy that part, but he also really likes the music. I find it entertaining as well. It is not one of the kids movies that I try to ignore while my son watches it. Also, I liked the new song from Stephen Curtis Chapman that is during the credits enough to download it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent as would be expected. This is Veggie Tales take on It's a Wonderful Life with a little Polar Express thrown in. Great lesson for children of all ages, even ones that are 50 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
