Love love this movie!!
John Travolta steals this movie with his profane poignant irreverent lovable portrayal of Archangel Michael...actually all the of the cast are perfectly cast in their roles however I loved how Michael's character makes you question what we have been told to believe about angels or heavenly helpers....I think I like his portrayal much better and it certainly is more relatable and makes you laugh out loud!! I return to this movie about once a year and without fail I cry and laugh and feel renewed that all of our lives are being guided by unseen benevolent forces that only want to see us experience life to the fullest....like a new infant in wonder and awe at the beauty around us. Thank you Nora Ephron for making such a delightful movie that has become a cult favorite!!

A surprising gem
We'd heard about and read up about this film for some time and only now managed to find one compatible to UK dvd players.This certainly is so and the film is a little gem.John Travolta takes the lead in this film where a trio of newspaper people are despatched to check out a story that an 'angel' is at large in a town somewhat away from their offices in Chicago.They all meet and are shocked by Travolta's demeanour and appearance, living in a suburban house with his landlady, he with a beer belly, long hair, less than angel like mannerisms, heavily smoking and...full length wings.During their few days together on a road trip back to Chicago, the trio witness his charm, intelligence, his empathy of each others' needs desires and fears and his pied-piperesque captivation of any women in his company.Once there is a tragic event to which he is called upon and they witness him carry out a minor miracle, their hitherto scepticism disappears and aware his "time" is drawing near (as apparently, angels only get up to 26 revisits and this is his) they hasten back to Chicago to present this honest-to-God angel to the world...whilst they can.No spoilers......get the film. You won't regret it.

Uplifting feel good film.
Purchased as a gift for my godson who has just got into Van Morrison music and "The Sunny Side of the Street" is played at the end of this film. Bit random, but John Travolta is excellent in this as an angel who is enjoying "life" down on earth before he get's recalledby G.O.D.. It's light hearted and hopefully he'll enjoy both aspects.

Pure genius. This is Travolta at his best. Without a doubt one of the the funniest films I have seen in a while. Great family entertainment about 3 newspaper reporters who report on stories based on claims of various extraordinary events. In this case a woman who claims to have an angel living in her upstairs bedroom (Michael). The main sory being an attempt to get the angel back to the newspaper where the story can be written , photos taken and a fortune made by all concerned. However things are never that simple and Michael has an agenda of his own. Super film don;t miss this one.

Chopped
One of my favourite films - coarse enough to avoid too much saccharin. This is a film with a big screen identity and unfortunately the version - the one in the picture with the huge PG on the front - I bought has been technically adapted to an old TV screen size thus wrecking the feel of the film. Disappointed

Wrong aspect ratio. Avoid.
STANDARD VERSION. THIS FILM HAS BEEN MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS FROM ITS ORIGINAL VERSION, IT HAS BEEN FORMATTED TO FIT YOUR SCREEN. Wish I'd read that before I'd bought it or the other reviews for that matter. Hey ho, a bit of tinkering with your TVs aspect ratio setting and it's still watchable. Better copies out there for the money. Okay I've you've still got an old valve telly.
