This is the story of
Good Samaritan Sarah Fitzpatrick (Lindsey Gort) who has a fatal accident just
before Christmas, and finds herself in the “lobby” within touching distance of
the gates of Heaven where she meets Daphne (Kathleen Rose Perkins), who is St Peters
successor, who has some unwelcome news for her.
Having walked the
Christian path and lead a good life Sarah is certain that she will be let in,
but she is shocked to find out that her name is not on the reservation list,
and as she was not “Good” enough the enter and too “Good” for the other place
she seems destined for an eternity in purgatory.
However, she is
granted the chance to return to Earth as an “angel in training” with the
requirement to help a soul in need.
The needy soul we find
out is her ex-boyfriend Jordan (Derek Theler) who she broke up with on
Christmas Eve a year prior to her own passing.
Sarah has the 12 days before Christmas to secure her place on the list to enter
heaven by making Jordan move on and begin a new life with Amanda and her son
Mason (Melanie Liburd and Caleel Harris).
Jeremy Luke puts in a
very creditable performance as Jordan’s friend Stuart in this is a very
enjoyable film which I would readily recommend, even though it has a really
dumb ending.
