Watch Borrowed Hearts For Free

best movie i've ever seen.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM VERY FARE ABOUT THESE FILMS.A year before "Will & Grace" Eric McCormack, starred in this film. If watch closely you can see has acting range is limited. He is good in this film but in the future I do not see him winning a Tony Award for Acting in a revival of "Death of a Salesman". Sam Field (Eric McCormack) is a high-powered businessman and scion of a rich industrialist family with his own factory. Though a workaholic, Sam manages to enjoy a playboy lifestyle, having one girlfriend after the other, while struggling with never having lived up to his father's expectations. One day, his spokesman and best friend Dave Hebert (Shawn Alex Thompson) explains that a wealthy potential buyer of his company believes that Sam is a loyal family man. Even though he is not amused by having to pretend to be a married father, he agrees to the scheme of hiring actors to play his wife and son. After some unsuccessful rehearsals with his hired family, Sam is about to give up all hope of landing the deal, when a 7-year-old girl suddenly enters his house.The film is not overly complicated. It is what it is. It has some very nice moments. My main problem is that you know how its going to end. The film however is a perfect example of a "Hallmark: film. Its family safe and you know what you are getting.

This movie is among the modern group of holiday films produced for viewing especially over Christmas time. Gift giving, Christmas trees and a Christmas theme in general provide the setting for these films. Otherwise, most could be set at any time in which they would be part of the genre of melodrama, soap operas or just "feel-good" movies. "Borrowed Hearts" is somewhat entertaining – mostly for watching the characters unfold, especially Roma Downey as Kathleen and Sarah Fruitman as Zoey. Others have noted the formulaic nature of the film, and so, the ease of guessing its outcome. It is mildly interesting from the somewhat unusual plot ploy. But, that also is the quirkiness that makes it far-fetched. References to angels, faith or fantasy are not what make this film far- fetched. It's the plot of this young mother and daughter as the make- believe family of the male lead. Eric McCormack plays that role of Sam Field well. Most of the cast are quite good. But, the redemption of the hero doesn't play out very believably. To be a good film in this growing holiday genre, "Borrowed Hearts" would need some screenplay revisions and better fleshing out of the main male character and his background. As it is, there are too many disjoiners. Still, it's mildly enjoyable for a one-time viewing. It's certainly not a film I would want for annual Christmas time replays.

I saw "Touched by an Angel" perhaps twice, and I have never seen even one episode of "Will and Grace" -- so I may have been less familiar with the two leads than virtually anyone else who watched this film.A friend who was visiting had seen it advertised, and wanted to see it, so this was the only reason I saw this movie, since I had not noted its listing myself.It may not be anything vastly different from a lot of the Christmas-season films, and the "couple coming together" plot has been the theme of a lot of movies, holiday season or otherwise.However, I found it thoroughly engaging, and well worth watching, and happy my friend had discovered it. The leads and the young actress playing Downey's daughter were all pleasant, realistic (within the somewhat improbable theme), and none were "over the top," something not unusual in these flicks.The ex-husband was also believable - so often these characters are portrayed as more evil than Jack the Ripper, but here, this part was portrayed at a restrained, believable level.Hector Elizondo is a talented actor, who always gives an excellent performance. He did so here, in a light role, which, while not taxing his full level of capability, also added pleasantly to the proceedings.This type of film - especially those made for this season - aren't meant to be another "Citizen Kane," or rival the super-budget, big-screen extravaganzas, but to provide a pleasant two hours' entertainment. This one succeeds in this.

Yesterday, on TV, my wife and I watched this movie for the first time, We found it to be an unexpected pleasurable movie discovery. Young Sarah Rosen Fruitman as Zoe "stole" every scene in which she appeared. This movie should definitely be a part of my collection. I strongly recommend it.
