My mother reacted to this negatively, as did the religious mother of a friend. But another friend that is more agnostic said that it turned his life around due to the philosophical message that made him think about how to live.
The best line was when a stand up comic asks Albert Brook's character, "Hi, how'd ya die" and he replies "On stage, like you."

Love that movie. Too bad more people haven't seen it.

I haven't seen it in its entirety, although I do recall when it was screening at a cinema I was working at at the time. I have heard many good things about it and that it has a very natural and charming Streep performance in it too. Don't forget Shirley Mclaine in the Past Lives Pavilion. The movie is very polished even though from the "sets" used it obviously was shot on a very limited budget.

In honor of the memory of Rip Torn, some lines from the scene I posted.
"Daniel Miller: Is this Heaven?
Bob Diamond: No, it isn't Heaven.
Daniel Miller: Is it Hell?
Bob Diamond: Nope, it isn't Hell either. Actually, there is no Hell. Although I hear Los Angeles is getting pretty close."

Always liked this movie, it's an interesting premise and was pretty well executed.
