Irishchatter I honestly have never heard of this before and I like the fact it's so different too! Emmanuelle Béart looked absolutely beautiful as the angel. She would definitely remind you of the angel pics in which you see normally in churches or restaurants. I was happy that her character and Michael E. Knight's character lived happily ever after. I would be absolutely disappointed if he was still engaged to Patty. The story wouldn't have made sense then! It would be desperate because you can tell by Jim, he wasn't at all happy to be with Patty. It was better for them not to be together. She was just such a show off and whiny. To be honest, you feel like you just want her not to be included in the story!This was the best underrated movie I have ever saw in ages! I love the fact the music was heavenly! Maybe they should've added in Madonnas song "Just Like A Prayer", it would have made this film more extraordinary. Now at the same time, it's grand! I give this 10/10 because it's just wonderful the way it is!
grindkilledemo When I was a very young lad I used to watch this movie again, and again, and again. I don't why but this, innerspace, ghostbusters (1 and later 2) and beetlejuice were the crown jewels of my video library. It may be campy, but it has a pretty good storyline and a slew of hilarious moments. Let's face it it's still betetr than 90% of the movies that came out this year--and most of the late nineties--UNder the tuscan Sun, I"m looking in your direction. Anyway Phoebe Cates and the model angel chick are wicked hot--and really random thigns like a singing love-o-gram dressed as a beetle pop-up in the flick. For a late eighties romantic comedy, the plot is actually somewhat interesting and doesn't involve shenanigans with a dead boss, a secret party island, or either of the corey;s. It's good times.
Frank No spoilers here. The only spoiler is the wretched movie itself, trying to spoil the careers of anyone associated with it.I kept waiting for it to get better, then for it to end. It only got worse as it went on. After an hour, I could barely stand it any more, but slogged on through to wallow in its full wretchedness.Do angels not speak? I distinctly remember angels appearing and speaking in Bible stories. It would have been nice had writer/director Tom McLoughlin given some lines to the one actor in the movie we know has some talent - And that would be Emmanuelle Béart. But we only know that from seeing her other films, especially "Un coeur en hiver" and "L'Enfer." This is one even a Béart completist should skip.
butzi-1 Anybody who looks at this film, will say what a unimaginative story, nervetheless at leat a bit entertaining.... But in a contrast to this, the soundtrack is a very special one. The music is by Randy Kerber / Sound Design by Dane Tracks. Singing composition and additional voice is by Avant Garde diva Joan La Barbara. Her voice is uttering in a peculiar way. Not human, maybe angelic?! - Usely angels in films sing like saloon sopranos from the 19th century in very kitschy manner. The music in the film is very kitschy, too. But the voice of La Barbara ist relativating the rest of the film.
