More From Mom

 

I was allowed an early screening of this movie so I could write this review. It in no way affected my honest opinion of this movie.

Lions Gate Movies Presents Angels Sing just in time for the holiday movies.  This movie is available in select cities on 11/1 and on demand in many other areas. I was able to review an early screening of this movie. I felt that Angels Sing had a great message and is a must see movie for the holidays. Here’s what the movie is about: 

ANGELS SING Synopsis: As a child Michael wished every day was Christmas – until a tragic accident crushed his holiday spirit. Thirty years later, Michael still can’t muster any joy for Christmas, despite encouragement from his wife and parents. But when his son faces a tragedy, Michael needs to make amends with his past. A mysterious man named Nick gives him the courage to find the Christmas joy that he lost.

Cast:

Harry Connick Jr, Connie Britton, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Kris Kristofferson Director: Tim McCanlies

Harry Connick and Connie Britton did a great job with their acting. They were believable characters and you will find yourself rooting for them. Kris Kristoferson and Willie Nelson did a good job too. Of course, Kris has been acting for years so you expect it of him now. Lyle Lovett was a bit stiff and seemed like he was reading off a cue card at times. The son did a great job acting. He was a pro. 

And about the writer of this film:
