  It is such a warm, lovable movie! There is no smut, just a sweet, memorable love story wrapped in sci-fi. Chris Knight made a great astronomer, very creative casting but it works! Meadow Williams is adorable, you want to take her home! Her scenes are beautiful and befitting of a lead actress. Eric Roberts makes a great villain, as is his style. This well blended tale has an endearing, old fashioned feel despite its science fiction flavorings. This little movie delivers! It has a creative story, great cast, and wonderful tenderness. It's definitely one to see. It is a great movie for all ages. It is an exciting, romantic love story that reminds you that love is the most powerful force in the universe. It reminds me of "Somewhere in Time" with all of it's timeless and beautiful storytelling. Movies like "Light Years Away" are rare. I can't wait to buy it so I can watch it again.

  This movie is pretty funny. I saw it way before it came out because my friend Geoff has a small role in the film. I got to watch parts of the movie being made and they did a great job. The kid in the van who says: "woah" is my friend Geoff. It's a movie worth seeing. I highly recommend it if you live in Ottawa, Ont. You might recognize some of the locations that they filmed in, such as the Police station. The casting was great, like Mr.knight from the Brady Bunch t.v. show. He is a good actor and a great guy. I give it a 10 out of 10. I may be a little biased though... but that just means you should watch it for yourself and see what you think!

  "Light Years Away" is a beautiful movie. It has timeless, tender themes and genuine entertainment value! Well-acted with a touch of magic, this film will touch you. Gently mixed with a fun, whimsical playfulness, an old fashioned soulful romance is clothed in modern garments in "Light Years Away".The result is a joy, a rare movie. Chris Knight and Meadow Williams are very believable as star-crossed loves and have great chemistry on screen.Eric Roberts gives a great performance.Tim Peyton has fabulous comic timing, and Adrianne Curry is outstanding as a nerdy scientist.Creative and wonderfully cast, with genuine,believable, and powerful performances by all. A true jewel of a movie!

  Based on it's budget, and having been a crew member and extra in the film, I'm giving "BMS" (the director) and "LYA" (the film) 9/10. It has a wholesome message, a name actor, beautiful actresses, and was shot with a limited budget. The special FX and uses of green screen show maturity from BMS's last film, Miss Castaway and the Island Girls. I had an enjoyable time working on the set with the crew and producers, and watched them solve last minute problems and deal with financier/producer tensions in order to get this finished. For your info, I started out as an extra, and was asked to work on the film as crew. I still have my autographed copy of the script! Actors Tim Peyton, Adri Curry, and Meadow Williams also did a good job and were pleasant to work with on set. This should be going to TV soon, if the right distributor picks it up.

• sweet!

  I really liked this movie! The look of it is beautiful. I don't know where it was shot, but the locations are gorgeous, as are the actresses. The lead actors really pulled off touching moments. You really got pulled in to the story.Eric Roberts, Christopher Knight, and Meadow Williams gave first rate performances. Adrianne Curry was really good. She's one of my Myspace friends, so it was great to see her act. Since she's a model I wasn't sure she could act but she was great, and the uninvited kiss on Chris was perfectly played.Meadow Williams was so touching as the angelic alien. Need to see more of this girl. There were nice comic touches and warm,real moments. This is a movie you can see with anyone and not be embarrassed. I would compare it to "Princess Bride". I has an instant classic feel. The romance gives it "chick flick" elements, but it is so likable and the women are so pretty that we guys love it too.
