Manna from Heaven Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The Burtons' hearts are in the right place, but they need to get more tough-minded.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
The five sisters responsible for the old-fashioned fable 'Manna From Heaven' have a lot of plates spinning in the air -- but even their 10 hands aren't enough to overcome the hokey, overstuffed plot and a messily hand-stitched, often illogical script.
Common Sense Media
Liz Perle
Well-meaning movie will bore younger kids
Dallas Morning News
Matt Weitz
You can tell what Manna wants to be -- a light-hearted-yet-profound, feel-good flick in the same vein as It's a Wonderful Life -- but it falls woefully short.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
While it would be easy to fault its lack of technical polish, somewhat discursive script and uneven performances, it is also refreshingly sincere, gentle and good-natured.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Manna from Heaven is a creakily old-fashioned screed about Christian selflessness and charity, staged and shot like a Lifetime movie-of-the-week.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
You may pull a muscle trying not to cringe as such long-time screen veterans as Shirley Jones, Cloris Leachman and Frank Gorshin embarrass themselves with over-the-top performances.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
The movie's cloying cuteness and homespun sanctimony make the low production values even harder to forgive.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
A bit amateurish, but wholesome and achingly sweet.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
It would be better if it weren't quite so sitcommy and if it didn't outlast its ideas.
Boxoffice Magazine
Bridget Byrne
Like a hand-knitted sweater, it's a little lumpy and ill-fitting, but it has a wonderful texture and attractive color and is just fine for making you feel warm and cozy.
Village Voice
Nat Johnson
It's shot like a Lifetime-influenced student film, and the overall artlessness makes the spoony dialogue all the more glaring.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Too cute by half and at least a half-hour too long.
Washington Post
Natalie Hopkinson
Overall it is a nice effort by Five Sisters Productions, which has given audiences a much-needed reprieve from the angst, irony and mean-spiritedness that is endemic to modern cinema.
San Diego Metropolitan
Jean Lowerison
Manna from Heaven is labor of love that may not be the best film of the year, but at least you'll come away smiling.
Film Journal International
Harry Haun
There's a calculated stab at 'feel-good' afoot here, but, more often than not, the film just feels tired.
L.A. Weekly
Mark Olsen
Though its heart is in the right place, this would-be feel-good sensation never puts the other pieces together.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
The root of the problem lies in a script so foul that it's amazing the film is as good as it actually is. Which is to say: this close to scraping bottom.
Lybarger Links
Dan Lybarger
Like a homemade scarf, Manna from Heaven is warm, fuzzy and clearly made with love. At times it's easy to overlook the clumsiness of the way it's stitched together.
E! Online
This clumsy comic fable, which mixes Catholic themes, family infighting and a flurry of lame wisecracks, is no gift from God.
