Summary: 4 Stars
Ok so Michael Knight plays Jim Sanders, a likable guy who's a musician who's getting out of music and into his fiancee's Pheobe Cates (Patty) dad's buisness.
It starts off where his buddies kidnap him from the snobish get together at Patty's house for jim's bachelor party.
Left in a stupor from partying hard, An angel( Beart) crashes into Jim's pool after her wing is hit by a satelite. Jim awakens not from the crash mind you but let's face it pool water flowing on you butt will wake any drunken bachelor boy up.
The comedy insues when Jim has to and try's to hide the angel from his get rich schemeing buddies and bratish rich girl wife to be Patty ( Cates) not to mention Her dad, and a really mean dog outside his house.
It's a good film. And it serves it's purpose. You root for Jim and The Angel. and Emanualle Beart is great as an angel. Thru out the movie she doesnt talk but really uses her expressions very well. She acts with her eyes and face rather well.
Let's face it its a nice romantic comedy with a supernatural overtone.You cant help but like Jim and the Angel and dislike Phoebe's character and her dad. Sure Cates is hot, But maybe thats the message.Her red car, her getting Jim in a marriage and having him give up music. To every angel there's a devil. Jim is loyal just trying to help the angel find her way back home and wait for her wing to heal so she can fly home. But nobody seems to believe him. His buddies have exploitations all set up for the angel.And they even manage to kidnap her so they can have a press conference with a tape recorder for music at the town hall.But with all the commotion going on and when the final plot twist finally comes you understand more.
Jim is too good for Patty. It takes an angel to show him that shes a wench. The church doesnt beleive in his angel and Jim is told to take his antics elsewhere. His buddies are money hungry, and his father-in-law to be is willing to push Patty aside because he thinks the Angel is the perfect new cover girl.Hell if I were Jim I'd have an anyuerism too. Luckily his angel is there for him and she knows how to kick hiney!
Movie Review: An Angel Makes It To The DVD!
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
