Summary: We're all angels inside.
Review: This film is brilliant! if i did't have much space for this review it would be enough to stop there! the film makes you think and start to wonder about life certain aspects of it at least, and the meaning of life.
the film tells a story of an angel who is not the stereotypical, clea, pure godly figure. the message of the film as that we are all angels. you dont have to be pure, clean or run around in white wings an a halo all day to be loved by someone an love others. sunday afternoon smiley movie me thinks!!

Summary: Decent movie, lousy DVD
Review: This film won't make many top-ten lists, but it had its cute moments. It was better than "Sleepless in Seattle" (one of Ms. Ephrom's other movies) anyway. The DVD was terrible. The picture was in full-screen instead of wide-screen, the colors weren't that great, and there seemed to be grain throughout. The sound wasn't much better. Get this on VHS for a buck if you have that choice.

Summary: yay
Review: This is a lovely little film. While I suppose it might offend some of you religious fundamentalists out there, this is a highly enjoyable film that all normal people should see. It really makes you feel good.

Summary: Fun and well acted
Review: This is a very fun movie and it's done with comedic feel that works overtime. It's a feel good movie that most can relate to. I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone that needs to laugh more, thats most everyone! John Travolta did it again.

Summary: I thoroughly hated this film!
Review: This is without a doubt the worst film I've EVER seen. It's nothing sort of blasphemous. To have a fat and uncouth John Travolta portray the loyal Archangel Michael (whose name, by the way, means "who is as God") is just stupid. In the movie he drinks, smokes, leers at women and even sleeps with one. Very unangelic! Even if he does justify his actions by saying, "I'm an angel, not a saint," it still dosen't make any sense. He is an angel, not a human and therefore above such behaviour. But I guess that a film about an "angel" falling short of perfect must somehow make people feel better about themselves. For the rest of us it's just offensive. An incredibly awful movie!

Summary: Great movie, terrific music!
Review: This movie is loaded with terrific actors, great music, and it's a lot of fun. My kids love it, too. I read another review complaining about the fact that it's a standard-screen format. That's one of the main reasons that I bought it. I absolutely hate widescreen format and it's nearly impossible to find good movies with standard format. The ideal situation is the dvd's that include both - I'd certainly buy more movies if they included the full-screen format!

Summary: angelic beginning
Review: This movie started out great, but the ending was unbearable. Also,a great cast was weakened by an extremely flawed script.

Summary: A Slice Of Comedic Heaven
Review: This movie trashes traditional religion, patronizes the Midwest, squeezes laughs out of a dying dog and a sick old woman, scorns marriage and romance and bashes men gleefully. Yet it buys into the notion that angels might really exist. Travolta, who displays his gift for irony and whimsy, plays an unorthodox angel--a paunchy slob with moth-eaten wings who smokes, hits the bottle and chases women, even as he is on some unspecified angelic assignment in Iowa. Director Nora Ephron shows the humor and power of Michael by having Travolta, perform his Pulp Fiction dance to Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools." In fact, most of the script, by Ephron, her sister Delia and others, displays ingenuity, grace, wit and taste. Hurt, MacDowell, and Pastorelli play cynical tabloid reporters hunting down the hapless angel. The venerable Jean Stapleton offers bright moments as the rambunctious motel owner who discovers Travolta's powers. Repeat watching will uncover thought provoking subtleties. And of course laughs at our favorite parts--'Lines? I invented lines. Before that people were just walking around'.-- 'Pies, everybody loves pie'.

Summary: One of my all-time favorites
Review: This thoughtful movie has much appeal which includes fantasy, reality and affection. It is good to see a movie with a happy ending and one that leaves you thinking... John Travolta even manages to include his ever-popular dance steps which only he can do. A must buy for your VHS shelf!

Summary: Travolta at his best. A great supporting cast
Review: Travolta carries this movie from begining to end in only the way Travolta can. The supporting cast was outstanding also. Note: Keep a close watch for Sparky the dog. He stoled the show, and added greatly to the movie
