Overview
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 it was a just a loan and it's due immediately. Once upon a time, many years ago, a neighborhood in Buffalo, NY is mysteriously showered with 20 dollar bills. Theresa, a young girl who everyone thinks is a saint, doesn't have much trouble 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 problem is, nobody wants to give back the money, nobody has the money, they don't know to whom it belongs, and most of them can't stand each other. Along the way, the characters learn about family, romance, reconciliation and redemption, and by working together they begin to realize their full potential.

00:01:30 - What do you covet, Dottie? - A wedding like Princess Grace's.
00:06:54 Ed and Bunny aren't even related to us. They're spongers.
00:14:37 This could be a golden opportunity for us.
00:18:51 And you can count me out.
00:22:52 This is the perfect setup, dropping right in our laps.
00:27:03 I should be doing my exercises this very minute.
00:31:53 Here's my granddaughter, Ramona.
00:35:54 Dottie comes tomorrow. She'll give you a nice shampoo.
00:39:54 Hi, Grandma. How's your hip feeling?
00:43:25 You're on, big shot.
00:48:32 Well, I'm in training.
00:52:39 and in three weeks, we'll make the big score and go home.
00:57:01 Mac? Ramona. I had to go back over many years.
01:00:53 My job doesn't leave room for one life.
01:05:42 Of course, there is one minor problem. Your father's been arrested.
01:09:34 Big deal. Probably wanted some maple sugar.
01:15:21 So they cared about dancing.
01:19:11 You're like a precious flower, Dottie.
01:25:12 Yes. Her daughters sing in the choir.
01:28:52 You hear your own voice, that's all, just like your mother.
01:33:25 I've got a cop pressuring me for scholarships for her kids...
01:37:06 They were even going to cut off my, pardon me, Sister...
01:42:26 Put this in your stocking. For luck.
01:48:22 I'm ready. Are you ready?
