Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Micransix Crappy film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

mainefred The intention was to make a Christmas fantasy, sort of like "It's a Wonderful Life." But, whereas "Life" had its angel (Clarence) to warn you up front that it was a fantasy, "Comfort" played it straight, inviting you to expect a rational explanation for the time travel. There was no explanation, because this is a totally incoherent screenplay. Worse, the film tries too hard to send PC messages. I'm all for films with morals and for films that uplift, but when the overriding message is that career women are nice but home-making women are nice, too, straights are nice but gays are nice, too - well, you get the idea. The first priority of a screenwriter is to tell a good story, not to send messages. This is a badly flawed story, because it is neither pure fantasy nor pure realism, and it leaves you feeling cheated at the end. The leads are good actors who did the best they could with the sappy material. The writers deserve the blame. The movie was obviously made on a shoestring, which was appropriate.

Maham . I really liked the movie ,it is perhaps a note for people who are too much in the world and have no pity to help the old and homeless. It makes it possible for a person like Jane to change in to a good person like Sam.I think the acting in the movie is flawless and Steven Eckholdt is a very complete actor. It is certainly a thought provoking movie.Even the minute character of Sam's mother in law is full of life representing a women who thinks not beyond her materialistic world and is unhappy to see her successful daughter ending up in a life she would never choose for her.I think the understanding of the couple in the movie is serene and yes it is a movie worth watching.

Pepper Anne If you have seen the 2000 Nicholas Cage/Tea Leoni holiday comedy, "Family Man," then you have seen a much better version of a story similar to this movie, "Comfort and Joy." In "Family Man," Nicholas Cage plays the businessman who's 'gaurdian angel' magically plants him into the life of a middle-class suburban tire salesman husband/father. Though bizarre and confusing is this sudden new life that he experiences without much explanation of how he got there, he wades through it for several days to find out that in the end, the life he could of had (the life which he is briefly supplanted in) is much better than the life he did have."Comfort and Joy" is nearly the same thing. The main character (Nancy McKeonm, already a Lifetime TV regular) gets into a car accident and, when she recovers, thinks she is actually living ten years in the past. She doesn't recognize that the man and two kids before her are her husband and kids, and she can't figure out exactly why everyone keeps caller her mom. Same idea as the "Family Man," only much more nauseatingly "cutesy" as most Lifetime TV holiday repeats tend to me. The only real plus to this recycled story line is that Paul Dooley and Dixie Carter show up for a few amusing moments as the woman's parents.If you're into overly sentimental holiday dramas, then this is a good one for you. Otherwise, I'd say skip it.

xavrush89 Let's see, we have a workaholic overachiever who we just know is going to learn a big lesson about how she should want a husband and children because that is just the be-all, end-all of a woman's existence. Okay, it's not that sexist. But the way this TV movie goes about presenting the concept of a fulfilling personal life over career have barely a whiff of originality. The husband and kids, whether real or imagined, are so wholesome you just want to shoot them. But the absolute worst was a scene in which McKeon's character shows up at a get-together with four gay men, who are the gay version of minstrels. This cartoon-like depiction was the point at which I knew that there would be nothing redeeming about this. It's just another shameless plot line implying that a woman must choose between career and family. (Let's just say the suspense won't be killng you as to which lifestyle comes out on top.)
