Excellent but underrated film
Don't listen to the negative reviews
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Wow. This movie was so predictable and it had so many plot holes. When a man's wife dies, he is given three days to be with her again and to prove her love to her. I knew exactly how the movie would end. By the way, the movie keeps getting cheesier as it goes.Yet, I gave this movie a decent 5 stars. The concept isn't bad, even though we've seen it before, but it is delivered as sappy, melodramatic, and of course predictable. Still, the acting is actually pretty good all around. I was especially impressed with Reed Diamond's performance. I'm also a big fan of Kristin Davis and she amazes me here! Tim Meadows is funny yet philosophical as the "angel".Yeah. "It's A Wonderful Life, Part II." Still, the acting is good enough to keep this movie floating. Barely floating, though.
I really enjoyed this movie even if I could predict the ending. Actually, the predictability really only occurs in the last 4 minutes or so, so they almost had me believing it would end like it should. Even still, it's a nice, cozy movie to watch with a cup of cocoa.The story is about Beth and Andrew, a Boston couple. Andrew is a superbusy literary agent, and Beth is a yoga instructor. Clearly, differences in personalities. They've been together for 20 years when they lived in the little town of Mahone Bay back as kids. Anyway, as the story goes, Andrew is late for their tradition of picking a Christmas tree. He also drops on Beth that he has to fly to Chi on business on Christmas Eve. She's upset, but she knows that there's nothing she can say or do to change his mind. Now, what Andy doesn't tell her is that his colleague, Kimberly, is going along for the trip. Beth finds out when she calls his hotel and Kimberly answers the phone. Andy has a change of heart, and returns home to be with his wife...Beth is justifiably angry, and leaves the house. Andrew follows after her and witnesses her get hit by a car. At the hospital, the doctor gives grave news. Andrew returns home, and finds his key doesn't work. This leads him to the "locksmith" shop across the street. Here he meets Lionel (Tim Meadows) who after a conversation, grants him 3 more days (aka the last three days) with Beth in order to redo his damage. Beth is still scheduled to die on Christmas Eve, but Andrew is given a chance to prove to her that he loves her.So this is the set up. They spend the next 3 days visiting their hometown and reconnecting with their past. The typical overheard conversation occurs and that sends Beth back to Boston by herself (it's the Kimberly thing, only in a different setup). So Andrew, knowing his time w/her is running out,struggles w/how to prove it to her. Beth gives him some good news that she's been holding on to, but it doesn't change her destiny. The angel won't give him more time, but asks him if he would do anything to keep Beth from dying.You can probably predict what happens next. The beginning of the movie is basically reversed, right up until the last 4 minutes. Like I said, it's really predictable, but that doesn't ruin the enjoyment.
This movie is truly excellent! Every year my daughter and I watch this movie on Christmas Eve on ABC family, but for the last two years or so they have not played it.My daughter is really upset since it was a tradition we made when she was very little. So if any body could tell me where i can get this movie please let me know. If you are looking for a movie to snuggle up with your girlfriend,wife,daughter or son this is very much so the movie to do that with. It tells of the story about a man and his wife, and how he takes advantage of her love. It sends a very good message out to all ages. I would highly recommend Three Days to anybody wanting to know about a good, warm and comforting movie to watch on a Saturday night.
Not worthy of an Oscar, but then how many films are? Perfect viewing for a lazy Sunday, with popcorn and a mug of hot chocolate. Kristin Davis is ideally suited as the wife who is killed in a car accident on christmas eve. Her neglectful husband is given the last three days of her life to prove his love to her. The perfect, made for tv movie. Best still, it doesn't irritate the tear ducts and there is just enough saccharine to stomach!! Recommended!
