It's a Wonderful Film

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2006)

When you hear 'feel good movie' about one you haven't seen, are you predisposed to expect a thin, fluffy movie? Do you expect something saccharin that will leave you feeling like a bulimic teenage girl two hours after a chocolate binge? If you hadn't seen What a Wonderful Life, and I quoted only one line for you, in the voice of a toddler girl talking to her daddy: "every time a bell ring an angel gets his wings"what would you expect then? What a Wonderful Life has touched people. Of this I am sure because I am counted among one those it has touched. It is still meaningful to people today and on an ongoing basis. I have seen it too many times, though, and I am now ready to wait for a few years before I see it again.
