Healing Hands- Don't Play the Lord With Me **1/2
Since when does a good adopted boy refer to his adopted parents as my uncle and aunt? They got him at age 3 so they can earn the respect of being called parents. What's with the writer here?
The picture is really a soap opera, and not a good one either. While it's true that the acting is good, this idea of a near death experience allows our young man, engaged to be married, the ability to heal people. Naturally, everyone flocks to him and this causes problems. Thank the Lord we're not dealing with Elmer Gantry here.
There is just too much going on. Uncle Norman is stricken with cancer and by the end, the girlfriend is also in a terrible accident leaving her on life-support. In the middle, he saves a young girl hit by a bicycle, his friend who gets a nail through his finger, and even the family dog gets into the act.
Then there is Mrs. Feguson who is terminally ill and doesn't want his help. Ferguson's husband, who knocked on our hero's door, to aid the terminally ill woman, calls him a fraud when the woman dies because she didn't want to be kept alive!
Of course, our hero loses his power and "Uncle" says,"I should have allowed you to cure me when I had the opportunity." The reply is the typical rally around the flag boys.
Better Movie than the reviews would have your believe,
Fair warning - I am still a sucker for Hallmark original movies, including this one. Take my rating with the usual dose of salt.
Many reflections on how to handle this sort of gift, but I finally realized that I liked the movie more than most of those reflections; certainly better than the previous ratings. Eddie Cibrian did better than expected in the role of the accidental recipient of the gift. Most other players were unexceptional at worst, perhaps even adequate.
The script did not adequately explore the interactions with the patients, especially the one(s) who rejected the healing; but compensated by posing a question for all of us: how WOULD we deal with a similar imposition given the natural wont of others to make their need our mandate? I think the movie shows a reasonable reaction: hide the gift, use it when needed but do not allow the existence of the ability to be seen by others.
