Movie Reviews of Where Angels Go, Trouble FollowsMovie Review: Well Worth It For What It Is Summary: 5 Stars
If you read most of the reviews on here you will soon notice that "Where Angels Go... Trouble Follows" is one of those movies that people either love or hate. If you enjoyed the original "The Trouble With Angels" (as I did) and expect this sequal to be more of the same, you will be greatly disappointed. I was initially, but I soon fell in love with its own unique charm. I would characterize "The Trouble With Angels" as basically a serious movie with comedy elements, and this movie as basically a comedy with serious elements. It's also a road trip movie, so it is much more episodic than the original. That makes it seem more shallow, but I look at it this way: The breadth of life experiences cannot be encompassed in one movie, so this movie shows the nuns and the girls having different kinds of experiences than they had in the original. To quote a character from the movie "A Summer Place," some of the best things in life are shallow. Most of the time here it is just plain uncomplicated fun.
Some have criticized this film for portraying Mary Clancy's cousin Marvel Ann as a more sympathetic character than the obnoxious brat she was in "The Trouble With Angels." But again, we are seeing a broader view of life, because in this film we learn that Marvel Ann has issues with self-rejection, and isn't it true that rude and obnoxious people are often actually hurting inside? And she didn't graduate at the same time as Mary Clancy, so there may be a story behind that, too.
This is not a great movie, just a fun movie. It does explore some of the serious issues that were on people's minds in the late '60s, and presents them all in a hip and groovy feel which may seem corny today. But that's how it was in the late '60s, so put yourself in the frame of mind to watch it with late '60s eyes. If you try to pick it apart by comparing it with "The Trouble With Angels" or subjecting it to a movie critic analysis, you'll miss out on all the fun.
