Plot

A couple of tabloid reporters (Travolta, Hurt) are out to investigate the story of an actual angel living on Earth. Tagging along with them is a so-called "angel expert" (MacDowell) that is really along for the ride for an altogether different reason.

Pros

A nice cast, including the lovely MacDowell, and just enough humor to keep things interesting. This is a film that is mostly about dialogue, not action, so you will want to pay attention.

Cons

At the time of this writing you can not get this movie on DVD in anything other than Full Screen format. What's up with this? And if you're looking for a lot of fast-paced action, look elsewhere.

Extras

  • Production Notes
  • Theatrical Trailer

Recommendation

This is feel-good movie with romantic undertones that guys will actually like. There's not a lot of action but it will certainly bring more than one smile to your face. So guys, when she's looking at the shelf staring at some romantic boo-hoo movie to watch for the evening, this would make a fine alternative.
