the idea is nice , Albert Finney does a decent work, Anton Yelchin is adorable, spiritual and touching, Bridget Fonda and Campbell Scott are not bad choices but that is not new discovery. the fundamental problem - something missing. short - the idea is too large for film. so, each effort seems be almost insignificant. and the good parts - no surprise because many of them are details. it is not a bad film and for children can be an interesting experience but the final taste is a mixture of honey and ash. obvious, the good intentions are the base of it and the ambition of team is not small but the cast, the story must have a better led. all seems be colored pieces from a stained glass sketch.

What were you expecting with this cast and subject matter? No, it is not academy award material but I thought it was a delightful movie. One of my favorites ever! I will have to see it again and see if the acting really is as terrible as some seem to think. I saw this on a flight and had searched unsuccessfully for a theater playing it or the DVD. I had a friend who was pregnant at the time and thought the movie would be great fun for her. Now, of course her child is in Kingergarden, but I'd still love to see it again. Thanks so much for the detail on why the movie was not released in Sept of 2001. At this point, I love seeing movies with the Twin Towners in it, so even more reason to search it out at the movie store! LL

A classic story of redemption, Delivering Milo has great performances, humor, and perhaps a few tears. I watch a lot of films and often tire of Hollywood's penchant for the cynical. If you're looking for a positive message, Delivering Milo delivers.Aside from the sentimental value it's also an excellent creative concept. It will certainly hold your interest, and it does tug on the heartstrings a bit. But hey, if you're feeling too good about life after this film, just watch the evening news, that'll slap you back to reality.

Delivering Milo is a fantastic journey into the world that humans are unsure evens exists. What would happen if a soul refused to be born? It does get your mind turning. Granted, the plotline that the entire human race will die out is a bit tacky, but the idea is the important factor.I personally found it wonderfully refreshing in the way the writers(David Hubbard, and Diana Wagman) criss-crossed the different character's plotlines; however, the connections could be easily seen through hints scattered throughout. The characters did seem a little slow on the draw, but what can you do.I have to disagree with previous comments on the issue of blatantness. The plot turns were, for the most part, unexpected. Albert Finney also fills his roll as a high life gambler well. In all Delivering Milo is a good movie.
