Can't Be Heaven

Can't Be Heaven (also known as Forever Together) is a 1999 American comedy-drama film directed by Richard Friedman. The film stars Ralph Macchio, Bryan Burke, Michelle Trachtenberg, Rachel Ticotin and Diane Ladd. The film was loosely based on the 1968 movie Blackbeard's Ghost.[citation needed]

Danny Parilla is a young student in middle school. He starts to develop feelings for his best friend Julie Ziff. However a new student by the name of Archie Larocca comes in and sweeps Julie off her feet. Danny flees to the graveyard where his father is buried and talks to him about his problems. He soon comes across the ghost of Hubbie Darling, who helps Danny with his girl problems. As a former living person from the 1930s, Hubbie gives Danny his advice. The advice repeatedly backfires, always leaving Danny depressed. Danny soon learns that Hubbie once had a former lover before dying in an accident. Danny and Julie end up together at a school dance and Hubbie re-connects with his former love, Danny's Nona Gina, with the help of Danny.

The film was first released in 1999 on DVD by Ardustry Home Entertainment and re-released in 2009 by Mill Creek Entertainment.

TV Guide praised the film as an imaginative and refreshing look at adolescent romance, writing that it was "an amusing coming of age story far above the run-of-the-mill teen fare churned out in abundance".
