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.

This was a really entertaining family friendly film. Great to sit down with the kids and be able to share a movie together that everyone actually enjoyed. Often these kinds of "feel good" movies end up being a bit of a disappointment, but this one is a little gem. The cinematography is superb, much better than I expected for a film of this kind. The acting is really good and the plot line thought provoking and at times really funny. One of our close friends lost his wife a few years ago and having seen first hand how he struggled with his grief and the loss of his closest friend - and then battled to come to terms with trying to face a future without the love of his life, the story had particular resonance for us. Loved Curt Dousett's performance. I haven't seen him in anything before, but am a fan. He's a funny guy and a great actor. The film has some spiritual overtones, but nothing thats too "in your face" or that should put anyone off at all. Have nothing bad to say about it. Has already been watched several times. Great little find. Recommended.

This is a great little movie for the family. We all enjoyed it. My daughters have watched it numerous times already. Simple but engaging plot, good acting. Great to have something we can all watch together. The themes are pretty universal and although its not what I would call a deep film, there's certainly enough there to keep you watching! We really enjoyed the main lead character. He brought a lot of humor to the role without it ever becoming silly. Never seen Kirby Heybourne in anything else, but we loved him in this film. Really funny and cute! There are some lovely shots of Utah, which is somewhere we have never visited but based on this, we will definitely add it to our list for the future. Its not too "religious" although it has some overtones. Nothing here to offend, apart from those who are looking to be offended by good old fashioned entertainment

"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.
