Rating: Summary: A Heartwarmer Review: A movie to have to watch over and over again. It shows life as it is, with a heavenly slant! The part of the angel is so well and beautifully done she almost seems real. I love it and have rented and watched it many, many times. Now I can own it!!! Thank you Amazon.com!!
Rating: Summary: Cates is the Angel in this movie....IMO. Review: Frankly the only Angelic creature in this flick that caught my eyes was Phoebe Cates.....who is stunningly beautiful in any role......Phoebe could have easily played the Angel...and she has the perfect acting skills to play any role. I give this movie 3 stars..because no one in their right mind would ever leave a totally fine babe like Cates....from Fast Times no less. Phoebe Cates....is a Icon of Beauty even today...:D
Rating: Summary: Land In My Pool Emanuelle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I love this movie!!! I want an angel too!!! Emanuelle Beart is gorgeous!!! This movie did not get very good reviews when it came out back in 1987, but I believe that it is a great movie! It just makes you feel good. What else is there to say!
Rating: Summary: I believe in Angels Review: I remember walking in the mall one day and I was pulled aside by one of those survey people. Well they asked me to look at a new movie preview coming up and asked for my opion. I loved movies so I had extra time to spend. THey lead me a small room and played the trailer to this movie. They asked me what I thought etc. I remember telling them that I would very much go see it. That I thought it was refreshing changes form devil related movies. It gives viewers an awsome visual of how angels can be. One of my favorate scenes in this movie, is where the angel, and Michael iswalking up to his apt., and a mean dog comes running up behind them barking and ready to attack. Then all of a sudden, the angel turnes around and with a sweet stair and a wonderful grin she "calms" the dog. It is very funny as well!!!
It has a magical heavenly quality to it that is a must see!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Truly Sent From Above Review: I remember watching Date with An Angel the first time when I was only 10 years old back in the early 90's. From there on I just loved the movie. Today, this movie still rock! It's really a great movie for the family. I can't believe critics rated as a underrated movie, but somehow it slides by me as a heartwarming, heavenly-made movie about a beautiful angel sent to earth to bring a guy back to heaven. The beautiful angel is played by Emmanuelle Beart which she definately looks beautiful and stunningly. From what I heard, they had chose over 500 women actress for this role. They did a excellent job with the angel. She looks like she's real. Sent from above to Earth to bring back Jim (Micheal E. Knight), a composer whose life isn't going to well because of continous terrible headaches, also engaged to a spoiled rich girl Patty(Phoebe Cates).Too make the story short, Jim become lucky and finds the injured angel in his pool after waking up from a bachelor party and tries to hide it from his friends, fiancee, and soon to be father-in-law. When things got out hand, his friends wants the angel as a business plan, his fiancee becomes outrageous jealous and misunderstands as a affair, and his future father-in-law wants her as a world marketing plan. In the end, Jim did past away and was brought back to life by the angel and...the angel became a human. Date with an Angel is a great movie and I still do watch it. I heavenly recommend this movie. It has none of that oscar winning nomination or 3 hour long of boring concept with no point. It's just a movie that makes you feel how good life is. Get in DVD for widescreen and better quality.
Rating: Summary: Silly nonsense Review: I'm a big fan of Emmanuelle Beart and her part in this movie was pretty good. She didn't have to speak except for a couple of sentences right at the end. The rest of the cast were terrible, but who can blame them. The idea of the movie offers so many opportunities for cleverness and hilarity, but this hardly materialises. They were a couple of good themes and some sparsely scattered funny moments. At least for Beart it was a much better part than her one in Mission Impossible. If you like movies like "Splash" and "Mannequin", you will only be half disappointed by this one.
Rating: Summary: On a wing and a prayer Review: No Phoebe Cates is the angle. This time Emmanuelle Beart is the angel. The story is one of those strait forward situation comedies. As in "Heaven Can Wait" or more like "Meet Joe black", an angle on a mission is detoured when a satellite nicks her wing. She lands in a pool of a soon to be married musician (Jim). You know musicians; he is obligated to help the angle, yet he can not tell his fiancée (Patty), who of course suspects there is another woman. Naturally his friends find out and plan to get rich. And so on and so on. Eventually the angle that by this time is enamored with Jim and vice versa is well and leaves. Patty who has been insulted and assaulted by Jim and the angle leaves also. To top it off maybe there was no angle. Seems Jim has a brain tumor. So how did everyone get in this situation and what is to become of Jim?

Rating: Summary: Everyone could use an angel Review: Ok so Michael Knight plays Jim Sanders, a likable guy who's a musician who's getting out of music and into his fiancee's Pheobe Cates (Patty) dad's buisness.
It starts off where his buddies kidnap him from the snobish get together at Patty's house for jim's bachelor party.
Left in a stupor from partying hard, An angel( Beart) crashes into Jim's pool after her wing is hit by a satelite. Jim awakens not from the crash mind you but let's face it pool water flowing on you butt will wake any drunken bachelor boy up.
The comedy insues when Jim has to and try's to hide the angel from his get rich schemeing buddies and bratish rich girl wife to be Patty ( Cates) not to mention Her dad, and a really mean dog outside his house.
It's a good film. And it serves it's purpose. You root for Jim and The Angel. and Emanualle Beart is great as an angel. Thru out the movie she doesnt talk but really uses her expressions very well. She acts with her eyes and face rather well.
Let's face it its a nice romantic comedy with a supernatural overtone.You cant help but like Jim and the Angel and dislike Phoebe's character and her dad. Sure Cates is hot, But maybe thats the message.Her red car, her getting Jim in a marriage and having him give up music. To every angel there's a devil. Jim is loyal just trying to help the angel find her way back home and wait for her wing to heal so she can fly home. But nobody seems to believe him. His buddies have exploitations all set up for the angel.And they even manage to kidnap her so they can have a press conference with a tape recorder for music at the town hall.But with all the commotion going on and when the final plot twist finally comes you understand more.
Jim is too good for Patty. It takes an angel to show him that shes a wench. The church doesnt beleive in his angel and Jim is told to take his antics elsewhere. His buddies are money hungry, and his father-in-law to be is willing to push Patty aside because he thinks the Angel is the perfect new cover girl.Hell if I were Jim I'd have an anyuerism too. Luckily his angel is there for him and she knows how to kick hiney!
