Touches You

Excellent but underrated film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

After a car accident, the lawyer Scott Davis (Randall Batinkoff) loses his young son and enters in a deep coma for two years. Along this period, the dedicated nurse Angela Martin (Jenna Elfman) treats the patient and feels an attraction for him. When Scott awakes, he feels his body numb and has visions of his son and his father hires Angela to aid Scott. They fall in love for each other, but Scott does not let his son go and falls in coma again."Touched" is a corny, predictable and extremely melodramatic story supported by the gorgeous Jenna Elfman. The unbelievable plot is actually a soap opera with excessive personal dramas in the parallel stories of Scott and Angela's brother, and the final twist after the death of Scott is awful. I like to see movies of the actress Jenna Elfman and the story is also romantic, therefore my vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Páginas de Uma Vida" ("Pages of a Life")

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.

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.

I've only recently become a huge fan of Jenna's and when I saw this come up on the TV program guide, I jumped on it...As a parent who lost a child at an early age, this movie rang so true to how we deal with loss and try to find a way to come out from underneath it all.If you have ever lost a child, or have ever had to deal with anyone in a long term coma, you should watch this movie.Don't get me wrong, I'm a guy, but I cried like a baby for hours after watching this one. I would strongly suggest watching with a friend, spouse, or loved one...
