An angel shows a high-powered executive (Kevin Sorbo) what his life would have been if he had followed his true calling to be a preacher and family man.

Common Sense Media

Predictable faith-based movie is heavy-handed and trite.

I felt affection for the film growing as I watched. It pulled me in with its warmth and its performances.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

A mash-up of 'It's a Wonderful Life' and the story of Saul's encounter with the heavenly light of Jesus on the road to Damascus, except in this case replace Saul with Kevin 'Hercules' Sorbo and the heavenly light of Jesus with John Ratzenberger.

Rated: 2/4

A much more faith based remake of Brett Ratner's "The Family Man."

Sorbo’s best movie. “It’s A Wonderful Life” except the angel is named Mike.

This movie was the perfect blend of romance, moral retribution, and serendipity as the cast kills it in this Christian re-telling of "It's a Wonderful Life."
