    Not much in the way of laughs or anything else.

    Not one of Travolta's best, but I definitely liked it more than I anticipated I would.

  • Tim S


    Not a great film. Ok, but not that great.

  • Kylie B


    Parts are cheesy, parts are quite sweet. I do like Travolta's portrayal of an rather unconventional angel though.

  • Candy R


    Michael is an angel on one last mission before going back to heaven.
