Summary: Totally Enjoyable!!!
Review: This has to be one of the nicest films which Warren Beatty has ever been in, and such a likable character, too. He plays the role of a football star who dies suddenly, and is later re-incarnated into another life. Of course his essential character is still the same, and he tries to continue on in his quest to win the Superbowl (a game which he failed to win because of his sudden demise).There are so many wonderful parts of this film. Jack Warden is superb as the coach who has to be persuaded that it is, indeed, Warren Beatty, and he goes a long way "in faith" to accept it as true, especially in light of the fact that Beatty has entered into the body of a very wealthy man, and the team doesn't want to have some "rich guy" owning the team. Then there are the "angels," James Mason and Buck Henry, and they are equally good as well, although I can't say I'd buy into seeing real angels look like them. But they are inspiring, in a quirky kind of way. Last of all, the "love interest" with Julie Christie, and I have to admit that this a film which majors on romance, without the sex, language, and other deleterious side effects of modern day film making. "Heaven Can Wait" is a great classic film, and you would do well to add it to your collection. A Marvelous soundtrack as well. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: The 3rd best film of all time
Review: This is in fact the third best film of all time. Hate to say it, but it is a fact. By far, it is the best romantic comedy. Warren Beatty is so good at light comedy, and he surrounds himself with great character actors. Dyan Cannon, Charles Grodin, Jack Warden, Buck Henry and especially James Mason. It is a little dated now because of the hairstyles and fashion, but the story is much better than a lot of stuff out of Hollywood now. Football for guys, and romance for girls. Something for everyone.

Summary: Always Entertaining
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. I've watched it numerous times. Warren Beatty was still young and gorgeous. Dyan Cannon was perfect as the vengeful, hysterical wife of Leo Farnsworth. She and Charles Grodin made some pair. ("You locked me in a closet!") I don't think Julie Christie was miscast as Betty Logan, but I have always felt that her short permed hair took away from her beauty. To this day, whenever I see the movie, I cringe at her hair-do. But aside from that, "Heaven Can Wait" is a delightful, entertaining romp.

Summary: Effective re-make of "Here Comes Mr. Jordan"
Review: Warren Beatty's re-make of the 1941 comedy-drama "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" is a cheerful gem of a movie, filled with priceless moments and inspired dialogue. Beatty plays a football quarterback who meets with an untimely death, returning to earth as a powerful industrialist. A powerhouse supporting cast includes Charles Brodin, James Mason and Dyan Cannon Vincent Gardinia. Nominated for 6 Oscars, this box-office smash is filled with laughs and magic moments. One of Hollywood's best!*****

Summary: A '6'! Charming, delightful, romantic, sweet, sly, goofy...
Review: What a delight! Beatty is wonderful as a charming hunk of a man taken-just a moment too early. Dyan Cannon is a Scream! (literally) No one plays hypertense quite as wonderfully as she, and Charles Grodin matches her note-for-note as her lover-turned-would be hit-man. The rest of the supporting cast is note-perfect. Julie Christie is a knock-out as an environmentalist. The moment she and Beatty lock eyes, its *magic*. I still get weepy as she gazes at Beatty from the fish pond...Wow.... Nicely shot (Georgeous mansion!) and nice goofy humor help. Sadly, the haunting music was never released as a sound-track (this was before Hollywood figured out that angle..). Get out the popcorn, turn down the lights, grab your spouse, and enjoy.... Please.

Summary: What a sleeper
Review: You would never expect a remake of a classic to be this good but I like this remake better than the original. Dyan Cannon, Charles Grodin and Jack Warden (so under-rated) are all great and in my opinion make the movie. The DVD looks pretty good and Since I watch this thing over and over I had to order the DVD. Take a look. You won't be disappointed. Now if we can just get Shampoo on DVD.
