A Modern Day 'It's A Wonderful Life'

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2006)

I saw this one at the $2 Theater mainly out of boredom. I did not expect to like it; I did not expect it to be funny, or interesting. I did not find it particularly funny, and the plot was only somewhat original. But the message was good, and it was very touching at times. It was definitely a bit hokey, and VERY predictable, but I was entertained nonetheless.
Don't go to see it expecting to fall out of your chair laughing, but you will leave the theater touched, and being reminded of the important things in life. This is a standard Carpe Diem movie, a modern time 'It's A Wonderful Life,' literally.
