Delivering Milo (2001) on Netflix

Plot summary

In the place where babies wait, Milo looks about eleven years old and is too frightened to leave it. Since babies arrive in order, no other child can be born until he agrees, and those running the place are at a loss, because none has ever refused. Elmore, an old man stuck in limbo and bored there, offers to show Milo that life on Earth is worth it, striking a bargain: more time on Earth if he succeeds. Card games and tricks win the boy over, and the two step through a door into New York City, which Elmore loves and Milo finds frightening. Elizabeth and Kevin, expecting their first child, have come home from the hospital after a false alarm. Milo tries deli food and ice cream, then Central Park.
