Summary: A SPIRITUAL AND A CHARMING HEARTWARMING COMEDY MOVIE!
Review: John Travolta is very funny as playing the arc angel "Michael" with wings and a little of bad habits to himself. His dialouge is right on over the top best and Travolta's chemstry with the supporting cast is great. But I also enjoy the dancing scene between him and a few women while in the bar tavern restaurant he's doing a dance strut get down move is so good!

Summary: you gotta learn to laugh....it's the way to true love
Review: man, this is a very heart warming movie about an angle named Michael. he's not your typical angel though. he smokes and is very interested in woman.
but he is also very passionate about Earth and this happens to be his last hurrah on Earth, as only 26 visits are allowed.
this is a very very heart warming movie and John Travolta is magnificant!

my favorite part is when he sees the bull at the Biggest Ball of Twine and inhales and says, "Battle".
he battles the bull and is completely happy.
overall, this is just a good movie.

Summary: Michael is one of those movies I watch over and over again!
Review: Michael is a little irreverent, but a whole lot of fun! The trip is worth it! Anybody who didn't like this movie, must be an awful drip! It's about love,it's about fun! And the music along the way, is an extra added bonus. Finding the meaning of relationships and knowing how to enjoy life, that's the real focus, but instead of being preachy or soppy, it's upbeat, and the dialogue is outrageously funny. If you don't come away from this movie, feeling better about life in general, you didn't get it. Enjoy life! Watch Michael again!

Summary: ANGELS on Earth
Review: No one is perfect, however, we here may try to be too perfect.
An angel on Earth is all they can be with love, hope, and charity. The movie MICHAEL shows us that even an angel does NOT
need to be Perfect. God and Love and Respect can cover a lot of
ground even here on Earth.

Thanks.
Amen

Summary: "Michael" is a Lot of Fun!
Review: Now I don't for an instant classify "Michael" as a 5-Star masterpiece as, say, "Apocalypse Now," but it's definitely a great flick for its genre (romantic comedy/road movie). I don't know exactly what I was expecting -- another boring "chick flick" perhaps -- but "Michael" really surprised me. My wife and I had a great time watching it -- lots of laughs and, if you look carefully enough, even some profundities.

Michael, who is excellently portrayed by John Travolta, is an unorthodox Archangel enjoying his last mission (vacation?) to Earth. A supermarket tabloid from Chicago sends a team to Iowa to get a story and pictures; after discovering that he's a real angel they naturally want to bring him back to the big city.

What works best is that the story is essentially a fun-spirited road movie (I'm a sucker for road movies). William Hurt, Andie MacDowell and Robert Patorelli have an exceptional time meeting Michael and trying to escort him back to Chicago. Michael acts like a tourist having the time of his life, humorously wanting to see those silly little attractions we see dispersed across the countryside (e.g. "the world's biggest non-stick frying pan," etc.) -- you know, the ones most of us adults roll our eyes at.

Lots of fun things and miricles take place along the way (e.g. women are naturally attracted to Michael, bar fight, bull fight, etc.); you should discover them for yourself when watching the film. What struck me the most about Michael is that he had a true spirit of joy. The simple joy-of-living-itself was all over him; and this naturally had a big impact on all the people around him. This is something most of us could learn from Michael.

I was pleasantly surprised -- "Michael" is fun, charming and delightful -- not just another run-of-the-mill "chick flick" (in other words, guys will enjoy it too). Recommended.

Summary: As Michael said, "There's no such thing as too much sugar."
Review: Once in a great while, a great film appears. Michael is one of those GREAT films.

If you don't "GET" it the first time--watch it again...and watch it again, until you DO "get" it.

Be prepared to tap your toe to the music, to keep on truckin', to learn from your mistakes and to share your handkerchief with YOUR angel.

Thanks, Michael.

Summary: Travolta at his best
Review: This and Phenomenon which also has John Travolta are my favorite "spiritual" movies because of the simple yet eccentric tones. This is the kind of angel I can believe in. He is what an angel should be. Fun, and human. Sure beats the fluffy size 5, flowing dress angels the marketeers push.

Not only did I like the adding sugar to sugared cereal, the smoking, the junk food and whoa sexual angel he portrayed but I loved his gentleness and the way all the actors worked together. Jean Stapleton whom many will remember from ALL IN THE FAMILY, William Hurt, and Robert Pastorelli who played the eccentric painter on the MURPHY BROWN series and Andie MacDowell whom I fell in love with in FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL all work so well together.

There is jaded humor, deep friendship, good Vs evil, optimistic challenges and sadly death. But it was interesting since the death seemed as close to any movie that convinced me that death is life as I have seen. It is also a movie that men as well as women will enjoy.

Summary: This movie is DELIGHTFUL AND CHARMING
Review: This feel-good movie is uplifting and insightful. If you are looking for the typical mindless and violent shoot-em-up, smash-up-em, blow-em-up movie fare, then don't watch Michael. If you're looking for a funny, hopeful story and happy ending, this is the movie for you. This film challenges accepted notions of angels and their interaction with humans, and does it beautifully. Time watching Michael will make you think. And that is always time well spent.
