Touched (2005)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

i must have seen a different film!!

Great Film overall

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Without a doubt, I was absolutely touched by this movie. It really hit close to home for me due to my mother passing away while in a coma. After reading previous comments, I see that people don't understand why certain things were even included in the movie. For instance, the situation with her brother. However, I think if you or someone you know has been through such a tragedy....you realize even more just how precious life is and how it can end at any minute. That is the reason that I believe that specific story line is included in the movie. It goes along with the theme. I was crying throughout the entire movie...It really touched my heart. I, like many others I'm sure, believe that I was meant to see this movie for a reason. I lost my mother in February and to this day.... do not feel the loss getting any easier to cope with. I still grieve every single day....and I was recently told by a friend that I needed to let her go in peace. To hear what the little boy said to his dad about letting go...let's just say I could have filled a bucket with tears! Anyhow, long story short...I was so impressed with the movie and the actors. I plan on buying it.

This movie was written beautifully. You don't just come across a movie that shows such sorrow and hope and faith and compassion and passion in a way that you can truly feel and live and smile and look at your life in a new way and reflect on your past. The actors/actresses were able to tap into the truth of what they would have felt or what the character may have really been like. It is common to have each of those types of characters in a stressful true situation as this.The mom, well, I have seen my own relatives turn into someone like her yet this mom has compassion and and a strength that some people that rather stand back and watch has. I watched with my eyes in tears as I seen each of the characters as what my family had gone through.It was nice to reflect. The music was well chosen and the scenery purely fitting.I haven't researched what the music is or if it was written just for this movie, but to watch the girl sing and the moment and memories that were made was a great factor in this movie, it went very well hand in hand. I do wish that the story of the brother was more. Just because of after the surgery and what type of the surgery(perhaps i should see what all the cut out sometime). Times to reflect what happened and what was felt helped this movie along. I wish there was more of this movie, just in the sense that I would want it to keep on going. To be real life I suppose. A lot of real life issues made me enjoy this movie for the real worth, for the real story, for more than a movie.

This movie's story is not what I am commenting about it is Jenna Elfman's development from being typecast after 'Dharma & Greg'. She really carries the story and shows her in a new light. I don't we will see her in another sitcom now. Now the story about a female nurse and her male patient falling in love. Now if there had been more substance to the story it would have been better. At the end I even think more should have been added to a possible future of Scott and Angela being together. Jenna's character was a miracle to Randall's character being a caring soul that stayed where his wife did not even try and wait. His son told him to let go and 'touch' the one that really loves him now.

It seems as this movie was made for Jenna (who is also an executive producer of it, remember). In fact, she is the leading performer here, and her character is the one that keeps the story going and evolving. Too bad that the script and perhaps the editing have some flaws, which I won't discuss here (just see the movie and enjoy it - as much as possible). And there are some inconsistencies in the characters, including Jenna's.But all in all it's a refreshingly different kind of a movie than the bulk of ordinary Hollywood products. If your idea of a "movie" is "The Lord Of The Rings", you would fall asleep while watching "Touched": it's sad, it unfolds slowly, it's dark (I mean few lights), and quite quiet (btw, how's that sound, "quite quiet", he he?).I have been curious about this movie, and again, Jenna is a very good actress, not just a wacko comedy blonde chick. Just watch carefully her dramatic performance here and admire how she really, really saved even the lamest melodramatic moments. Forget about "Dharma & Greg", "Looney Tunes Back In Action" and stuff like that, Jenna still has to get the role stimulating enough and fit to her talent.
