Rating: Summary: An Angel Makes It To The DVD! Review: This is one of the memorable movies I saw way back when I was and still is enthralled by movies with 'supernatural' undertones. Admittedly, this film lacks some coherent plot and at least some memorable dialogues but I can't help but enjoy this 'little' film about mortal falling in love with an immortal. It's been done before with a story like this but this film somehow manages to give some new angle like the unexpected ending. Unabashedly, I watch the film because of the two actors: Emmanuelle Beart and Phoebe Cates. Emmanuelle is wonderful and at times convincing as an angel just as Phoebe Cates is believable as bratty rich girl. But somehow I felt that Phoebe is terribly wasted. Maybe, the ending adds more to the feeling but all in all, she proves nothing here but to add credentials to her list of filmography. Talk about her other film, Drop Dead Fred. As I have said before, movies that deals with 'magical' beings really pleases me so I may rightfully add that I also like Splash but that's another story, er, review. Although disappointed by the dvd format having only a theatrical trailer as a bonus, I need not fret since I know that this is only a 'small' and overlooked film. Other movies in dvds suffer the same fate but somehow those films are above average in budget so that may come as a real shock. Before I forgot, this film has some nice soundtrack like the forgotten(?!) Pop Goes the World and I remember it very clearly the Air Supply song, Someone Who Believes In You. The song is well-known but it doesn't figure in the film. As a last word, watch it strictly for entertainment only because that's only the film gives.
