Manna From Heaven is a comedic fable about what happens when you get a gift from God (a financial windfall), but many years later, you find out that it was a just a loan and it is due immediately.

Theresa, a young girl who everyone thinks is a saint, doesn't have much trouble with convincing her loose-knit "family" that the money is a gift from Heaven.

Years later, Theresa, who has become a nun, has an epiphany that it is time to pay the money back, so she calls the eccentric group together to repay the "loan".

The website's consensus reads: "Wasting a comedically gifted cast on cloying material, Manna from Heaven tastes more like hogwash.

[3] Dave Kehr of The New York Times liked the film overall: A product neither of Hollywood nor the New York-Sundance indie axis, Manna From Heaven is a true outsider film, and while it would be easy to fault its lack of technical polish, somewhat discursive script and uneven performances, it is also refreshingly sincere, gentle and good-natured.
