Once again, the husband-and-wife duo of Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski - team up for a film, as they did in the Crocodile Dundee series.At face value, this appears to be a fun and appealing family film with the likable Hogan playing an angel. Even though he's a charming "angel" with a good heart and a good sense of humor, this is no Biblical angel, that's for sure. Actually, he's an almost mortally-wounded man who thinks he died and is an angel "on probation." So what you get is the Liberal ideal of what an "angel" would be (see above) but who also uses the Lord's name in vain, cheats and lies - not exactly according to the Book. Of course, part of that is played strictly for laughs.Overall, it's still what they call a "cute" movie. I guess you could also call it a good "date" movie.

I have seen this film many times and enjoyed it each time. Although it contains only minimal language concerns, it is best when viewed uncensored and uncut--as are most films. I find the humor that Paul Hogan uses to bring this concept to film takes what sometimes seems familiar story lines and raises them to the wonderfully unique. It has one of those rare mixes of humor, drama, and bittersweet and thought-provoking themes. Hogan provides a consistent character throughout and writes an ending that should be quite satisfying for those who hate the vague, confusing ends so popular with script writers today. Like, Oh God!, I find the movie uplifting with each viewing, as I find Crocodile Dundee's offbeat humor refreshing each time. Regardless of the rating you would give, I am sure you will at least feel the time spent watching this film was worth it.

Paul Hogan attempts to get some laughs outside of the "Crocodile Dundee" films. Sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't. His fantasy tale of a dead criminal's spirit (who he portrays) who suddenly begins doing good deeds for people in order to gain the status of "permanent angel" doesn't always work but it's not really a flop. Many of the film's best scenes go to Elias Koteas who portrays a paraplegic befriended by Hogan. The film also features Hogan's "Crocodile Dundee" films costar and real life wife Linda Kozlowski.

One of the most overlooked performances in years goes to Elias Koteas as the paraplegic who introduces the 'born again' Hogan into the story of a care centre under threat of closure. It is sensitive and touching without being over sentimental or condescending.This shows a hidden quality in Hogan's writing that Hollywood missed in his post-Crocodile Dundee movies, and is also in evidence in Lightning Jack and the part of Cuba Gooding Jnr. This movie may not have the charm of Dundee, but the comedy is there and it is certainly more thought provoking about our attitudes to the disabled.A very good movie.
