At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Touched by an Angel star Roma Downey stars as heiress Helen Radke, who returns to her hometown to sell all of her estranged father's belongings and settle his estate. She also threatens to sell a boy's orphanage, run by Jimmy Adams (George Newbern), during Christmas time.It is interesting seeing Downey, known for her portrayal of the kind angel Monica in Touched by an Angel, play a cold character role, which makes the movie captivating. The story itself is pretty good and heartfelt, as it is captivating seeing how the people try get through with the heiress in saving the orphanage. Seeing how Helen deals with the smart aleck Wylie Armstrong (Scott Terra) is also entertaining.The acting is quite good and the plot pacing is steady. Overall, one of the better holiday TV movies out there.Grade B

It is one that I will watch and enjoy many times in the future. If you like Lifetime movies or Hallmark movies,I think you would enjoy this movie. A movie everyone in the family can watch. I would recommend this movie as one to be enjoyed during the holidays. If you have not seen it,watch it when it is shown on TV,I think you will enjoy it.A small town with some great people in it to bring out the best in each other.Just a real feel good type movie that makes you smile after watching.

Some films are diminished by predictable story lines. This is not one of them. Rather, the very fact that one could almost call out what was going to happen, scene after scene, was in some strange way suspenseful: would I guess right? Yes! Oh, I am so glad!Maybe this was due in part to the unfamiliarity of seeing Roma Downey playing the heavy for a change. Then again, it was not only her scenes where this happens. She came across as believable, once I got over the fact that here, she's no angel. It was nice to see her with a character that has a bit of growing to do. Another definite plus: the boys from the home played off each other nicely. I got the impression that these young actors truly cared about each other, as much as their characters did.This is not a movie to get one's teeth into. It is a bit of a schmaltzy tear-jerker, with which to warm your soul on a cold winter evening. It is comfortable and delightful, with just the right touch of romance and the Christmas spirit.

Nothing special, but a cute little movie for the Christmas season. It's about a Foster Home endangered by the new land lady. It is comical with a touch of drama. -->> AAA, OH YES, ROMANCE!! Yes!, > You will see this as well. This movie is ok, but NOTHING SPECIAL!
