Man meets angel and falls in Love. Hilarity ensues.
A sublime guilty pleasure
I'm under no illusions. I realize this is not a good movie but I kinda love it. In wild retro 80s goodness an angel falls to earth and an unhappily engaged man decides to help her and ends up falling for her to the detriment of his crazy fiance played by an amazing Phoebe Cates. There's nothing deep here it's all surface. But it's fun and heartfelt and just hammy as hell. Nothing like this would ever get greenlit today and that's a good thing because this movie belongs right where it is, as part of a cinematic library so I can enjoy this guilty pleasure again and again.
