Title: It's raining Jacksons
Review: Director Gabrielle Burton heads FIVE SISTERS PRODUCTIONS, a corporation her sisters Maria, Jennifer, Ursula and Charity are part of. Maria co-directs; all appear in this film, as do their parents. (Mom wrote the script.)In the Burton family's MANNA FROM HEAVEN, a bundle of counterfeit cash blows out the back door of a step van and onto the lawn of a dysfunctional extended family. Years later one of the recipients (who's now a nun) convinces the others they must somehow replace their windfall. To do so, they get involved in various money-raising schemes, including a less-than-honest raffle and a dance contest.A good cast is unable to save this not very amusing comedy.Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.(5.5) Manna from Heaven (2002) - Shirley Jones/Cloris Leachman/Louise Fletcher/Seymour Cassel/Frank Gorshin/Jill Eikenberry/Austin Pendleton/Shelley Duvall/Jerry Orbach
