Am I Missing Something?

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I admit I was a major fan of Micheal E. Knight as Tad Martin in his "All My Children" days back in the 1980s. I was elated back in 1987 when he finally appeared in a major motion picture, but unfortunately, the small Northern town I lived in at the time had no movie theatre. I had to wait for the movie to come out at the local video store and when it did, I watched and re-watched it in glee, loving how utterly handsome he looked and laughed at his goofball and comedic antics in the same vein as John Ritter from "Three's Company".Well, time hasn't been too kind. I was always aware this was a box office flop and thought it deserved better than that, but after ordering the DVD from Amazon recently , I've grown to think otherwise.I viewed it tonight now that I'm older and wiser than I was from the 1980s, and, after looking at it with more mature eyes, finally see the problem. Mike Knight didn't carry the film too well. He had the comedic talents and professional acting ability, but he didn't "stick out" like a star in a film should. His mingling with the mischievous prankster friends made him look like he was an "extra" among them and not the star of the film. It's easy to see why the film flopped.The potential was there with Emmanuelle Béart looking perfectly beautiful in a heavenly and ethereally way and with Phoebe Cates acting hilariously as the "jilted fiancee", but the problem was with Knight. A good looking guy with slapstick comedic talents, but one who's unable to carry the star power of a film like this. The story was also mediocre to the extreme. There was nothing to make it unique and it offered no surprises, just the potent performances of Beart and Cates. Other than that. a total dud. Sorry Mike.

I honestly have never heard of this before and I like the fact it's so different too! Emmanuelle Béart looked absolutely beautiful as the angel. She would definitely remind you of the angel pics in which you see normally in churches or restaurants. I was happy that her character and Michael E. Knight's character lived happily ever after. I would be absolutely disappointed if he was still engaged to Patty. The story wouldn't have made sense then! It would be desperate because you can tell by Jim, he wasn't at all happy to be with Patty. It was better for them not to be together. She was just such a show off and whiny. To be honest, you feel like you just want her not to be included in the story!This was the best underrated movie I have ever saw in ages! I love the fact the music was heavenly! Maybe they should've added in Madonnas song "Just Like A Prayer", it would have made this film more extraordinary. Now at the same time, it's grand! I give this 10/10 because it's just wonderful the way it is!

Oh my God people no a days have no taste so ever ... Where is everybody's humor... I was reading some of the comments people made about this fim. I just do not understand why they hate it so much... Yes, it is true this film is out dated but we need to remember that it came out 17 years ago!!! (Special effects were not the same as they are now)The first time I watched it, i FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.. It was romantic and hilarious! So what! if the Angel didnt talk, her beauty itself did the talking for her.. I really loved this film, I remember when it first came out on the theaters, I was only 7 years old...I do wish that this film would have had a better rating.. I think is one of the most unforgettable romantic/comedies I've ever seen. People need to start being less bitter now a days..!

No spoilers here. The only spoiler is the wretched movie itself, trying to spoil the careers of anyone associated with it.I kept waiting for it to get better, then for it to end. It only got worse as it went on. After an hour, I could barely stand it any more, but slogged on through to wallow in its full wretchedness.Do angels not speak? I distinctly remember angels appearing and speaking in Bible stories. It would have been nice had writer/director Tom McLoughlin given some lines to the one actor in the movie we know has some talent - And that would be Emmanuelle Béart. But we only know that from seeing her other films, especially "Un coeur en hiver" and "L'Enfer." This is one even a Béart completist should skip.
