Best movie of this year hands down!

One of my all time favorites.

An Exercise In Nonsense

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I really wanted to like this movie. I liked the concept of a middle-aged man finding love again but the movie centers around a middle-aged man who lost his wife trying to breakup his daughters relationship with "over-the-top" do gooder. The acting is cringeworthy as well as a lot of the writing. I don't like how a lot of these Christian movies push marriage super young on girls. The daughter isn't even 21 yet and wants to get married? That's crazy to me. The boyfriend David is like 22-23. I just can't get past that. I can be emotional during movies but not one moment did I "feel" anything. This is probably a cliche enough movie to get into a lot of people's soft spots but it missed the mark with me.

Nice story line of a difficult season in the life of any man. Great sense of pace, script and relationship building. Happy banter with moments of seriousness.Worth watching because it shared real people with real issues with a serious faith perspective. Dialog was realistic and had depth beyond just a message movie. The actors were natural and not forced. The casting was done nicely, including the paperboy and the pastor scenes.The location shots were spectacular and made you want to visit. Lots of hometown charm.My wife and I enjoyed it fully. Great entertainment.

I really liked this movie, it is definitely one I will add to my collection. I love a good, clean funny movie that I can feel OK with my family watching as well. I thought the acting was very good for a faith based film (sadly, thats usually not the case) and I loved all the characters. Cinematography was great as well. For those of us who like faith based films, there is really not enough selection out there, especially when it comes to ones that entertain. It didn't seem 'low budget' at all and the soundtrack was also great and appropriate for the film. All around, this was a very enjoyable, funny and touching film. KEEPER!

"Midway to Heaven" has a better than average story line setting up some very touching and humorous moments that most any audience looking for a thoughtful, romantic story should be able to identify with. The challenge of letting go of a deep relationship in order to move forward in life is handled, for the most part, very skillfully by Michael Flynn in his debut behind the camera as a director. All of the main actors sparkle in their roles, making you care about the challenges they are facing. While there are many funny moments to relish, it is the touching moments that make this a better than average romantic film. The music, scripting (from Dean Hughes novel), photography and music all blend well to make the film work. The beautiful Utah scenery of small towns is also a great asset. This is a film worthy of seeing in a theatre if you are fortunate enough to live in an area where it will be screened. It's one that I will look forward to purchasing on DVD later.
