Certainly, this is a very unique film. I've never seen anything quite like it before; and I doubt I ever will. But for movie purists, there's a lot to be seen here. There's a great chemistry between all the leads, and Travolta as the Angel is outstanding. And, like all good comedies, it doesn't try to be funny, because it simply is; and the underlying message of hope leaves a warm feeling inside when the film is finished.

Those with a hyper-cynical complexion may not be so impressed, but this is a fantastic comedy, and comes at a bargain price. Also a great take on the world of journalism, you won't be disappointed.

A rollercoster ride of laughs, thrills+spills and cheesy jokes from start to finish.
When word goes out that an angel (John Travolta) is living somewhere in the state, crazy news boss Bob Hoskins becomes hell-bent on finding it, so he dispatches three news people to investigate.
What they find is not what they expect. For instance, an angel (or an arcangel, as the old lady he lives with puts it) who smokes, is a sugar addict, he evn puts it on chips, he wants to see attractions, he lands up in jail and more!
Buy this, and spend the rest of your life laughing uncontrollably.
