Customer Reviews

On a wing and a prayer

No, Phoebe Cates, cute as she is, is not the angel. This time, Emmanuelle Beart is the angel. The story is one of those straightforward situation comedies. As in "Heaven Can Wait" or more like "Meet Joe Black", an angel on a mission is detoured when a satellite nicks her wing. She lands in a pool of a soon-to-be-married musician (Jim). You know musicians; he is obligated to help the angel, yet he can not tell his fiancée (Patty), who, of course, suspects there is another woman. Naturally, his friends find out and plan to get rich. And so on and so on. Eventually, the angel, who by this time is enamored with Jim and vice versa, is by now well and leaves. Patty, who has been insulted and assaulted by Jim and the angel, leaves also. To top it off, maybe there was no angle. Seems Jim has a brain tumor. So, how did everyone get into this situation, and what is to become of Jim?
