"A journey after death as a man finds his life is being judged to move on to the next step in life or being reincarnated, as he awaits judgement he meets a friends while taking in the sites!"
Harvey F Smith
"This is one of my favorites. Underrated and unique with so many memorable moments and a fantastic cast that includes great performances from Albert Brooks and Rip Torn. Oh and Meryl Streep wasn’t bad either. It will make you think a little and laugh a lot"

"So good! I think about this movie often."

"This is one of my top ten movies of all time - Al Brooks is fantastic in it and if you watched “the good place” on nbc, you will watch this and think it is a rip off of this movie, which it is not. Excellent cast as well."
