Why oh why did this have to be such a very dreary telling of Don Piper's story? I kept wanting to yell at the actors to a. Show some life and b. talk to each other! The people in the film just didn't seem normal, the actor playing Don Piper made him a totally unlikeable person, a whinger par excellence and his wife came across as someone who rarely spoke and was so buttoned up it was just plain unbelievable. I had read the book a few years previously and was looking forward to seeing it. However after watching the movie all I can say is it would have been far better to leave it at the book, this made me think Don had invented his heavenly trip to make some dollars to pay for his treatment. I feel bad saying such negative things as I'm sure the producer tried hard but he needed someone to tell him how unpleasant the main characters were coming across as and to edit edit edit.
