Critic Reviews

  • Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com

    Uplifting (for some) fantasy-comedy-drama. Stick with original version from 1950s.

  • Felix Vasquez Jr., Film Threat

    A sugary and sickening Disney remake...

  • Michael A. Smith, Nolan's Pop Culture Review

    Serviceable, but why does Tony Danza have to die?

  • Fred Topel, About.com

    Terrible fantasy. Full of depressing things like orphans and death. No amount of angels can uplift that.

  • Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium

    On behalf of Angels fans everywhere, I demand an apology from the makers of this film.

    a lame and long intro and a plot that will make you sleep the only redeemable factor of this movie is Christopher lloyd but the rest of the movie will put you to sleep

    Typical sentimental predictable fluff from Disney. There are some amusing and entertaining moments, but there's really nothing remarkable about what's on display here. Thank God Joseph Gordon-Levitt was able to redeem himself after this with the rest of his career.

    a story of hope

  • KJ P


    It was very average. Yes, it had it's touchy moments, but that is the only reason why i half liked it! It was a little corny at times, and the plot is pretty cliche. Disney took a little bit of a wrong turn here!

    Pleasant if sometimes cloying family film with added attraction of several up and coming actors in small roles.
