After seeing the Five People You Meet In Heaven I had high hopes for this adaptation. Albom is a good writer but this story did not translate well onto the screen. Good actors but they could not save a mediocre screenplay. The emotions of the book just did not come through. Could have been so much better.

Michael Imperioli Proves He Is More Than Christopher Moltasanti!!
April 16 2008
By HE WHO FUNKS BEHIND THE ROWS!!
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well before THE SOPRANOS came on the scene in 1999
and made a serious impact on pop culture and television,
Michael Imperioli, who skillfully played the complex and
sociopathic nephew of Tony Soprano, Christopher Moltasanti,
had established himself as a very good character & supporting actor
who could hold his own against many well-known actors and actresses.
He's also turned in some good performances where he was the
featured actor which didn't get as much notoriety as his work
with The Sopranos.
Soon after that unforgettable series ended in 2007,
he teamed with Oprah Winfrey to do this television movie
"For One More Day", where he does an excellent job and shows
that he is so much more than a common mafia crew member.
He brings such a depth and passion to his character and
veteran actress Ellen Burstyn shines in this too!
How many of us have said to ourselves
"If we could only have one more day with a loved one
who has made the transition, to make it right,
to get closure, to tell them how much we loved them!"
I don't want to give the story away, but this is a good movie
that kind of went under the radar when it came out.
Imperioli's young son, Vadim, makes his acting debut as his
character as a child.
A good addition to your DVD collection.

Compassion, forgiveness, understanding, redemption

This movie is a small gem. Ellen Burstyn and Michael Imperioli have great rapport, believable as mother and son. A drunk ex-ball player about to end his life gets one last day to spend with his mother, who is deceased. The story blurs the line between life and death, and shows how we all hurt those we love, despite our best intentions. This story demonstrates how children must all one day accept their parents, and themselves, as flawed human beings, just trying to do the best they can with the tools they were given. The book was wonderful, and the movie is just as good. Watch it with a warm cup of cocoa, a bowl of hot buttery popcorn, and your favorite blanket and definitely a whole box of kleenex. Better yet, watch it with your Mom.

I really wanted to like this but...

I was really excited about watching this DVD because I never remember it being on television. It suffers the same fate that "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" did. It just too boring and slow. I love, I mean love, Ellen Burstyn and her performance was good. Yet the film moves too slowly. I love the theme of the film so much. O' my God just imagine getting one more day with your loved one. That's my favorite part of the film. The flash backs are too long and it causes the film too drag and it becomes too predictable. There should have been more concise editing. On this DVD I found the sound to be very poor. In the scenes with the mother I had to turn my HD TV volume almost too max. What could have been a great film never quite makes it past first base and unfortunately strikes out.
