| I do not understand why Date With an Angel had terrible reviews at the box office back in 1987, this is a great film to watch.
Michael E. Knight(from All My Chirldren)was great as the musician who did not know he was dying and Emmanuelle Beart was wonderful as the Angel who came to take him to heaven. I'm glad that this film was re-released on DVD. |

| This movie is great especially if you want an uplifting view of Angels. The fallen Angels in Genesis 6:1-4 had sex with human women and they had children. Also Zechariah 5:9 describes two women Angels. The movie has great effects of the Angel flying. Emmanuelle Beart is the best actor to play an angel -she is so beautiful and imagine if an woman angel gave you a kiss? How would you really feel afterward. It's just neat someone even thought up this movie. I remembered a couple parts of it from when I was in High School but did not remember the name but found it searching for angels I believe. If they would have had a picture of the angels face on the DVD cover I would have known it was the movie I was looking for. The other reviews tell of the story and I must say what an end this story has. Would be really nice to watch with your girlfriend or wife one evening. I know of two angels not mentioned in the Bible - Sarah and Jacob. This is to Sarah. I love you Sarah. I would say a non-believer would even believe angels are real after seeing this movie. Another movie you should watch is Revelation Illustrated by Pat Marvenko Smith. Her Artwork is just amazing. Available on VHS only so far. So buy this movie it is well worth the money and I think you would also like Leap of Faith with Steve Martin too. This is probably one of the most touching movies I have ever watched. Thank you Father in Heaven for letting me find this movie. I honestly thought I would never find it. |

| I remember walking in the mall one day and I was pulled aside by one of those survey people. Well they asked me to look at a new movie preview coming up and asked for my thoughts and ideas. I loved movies so I had extra time to spend. THey lead me a small room and played the trailer to this movie. They asked me what I thought etc. I remember telling them that I would very much go see it. That I thought it was refreshing changes form devil related movies. It gives viewers an awsome visual of how angels can be. One of my favorate scenes in this movie, is where the angel, and Michael iswalking up to his apt. and a mean dog comes running up behind them barking and ready to attack. Then all of a sudden, the angel turnes around and with a sweet stair and a wonderful grin she "calms" the dog. It is very funny as well!!!
It has a magical heavenly quality to it that is a must see!!!!!!

| Ok so Michael Knight plays Jim Sanders, a likable guy who's a musician who's getting out of music and into his fiancee's Pheobe Cates (Patty) dad's buisness.
It starts off where his buddies kidnap him from the snobish get together at Patty's house for jim's bachelor party.
Left in a stupor from partying hard, An angel( Beart) crashes into Jim's pool after her wing is hit by a satelite. Jim awakens not from the crash mind you but let's face it pool water flowing on you butt will wake any drunken bachelor boy up.
The comedy insues when Jim has to and try's to hide the angel from his get rich schemeing buddies and bratish rich girl wife to be Patty ( Cates) not to mention Her dad, and a really mean dog outside his house.
It's a good film. And it serves it's purpose. You root for Jim and The Angel. and Emanualle Beart is great as an angel. Thru out the movie she doesnt talk but really uses her expressions very well. She acts with her eyes and face rather well.
Let's face it its a nice romantic comedy with a supernatural overtone.You cant help but like Jim and the Angel and dislike Phoebe's character and her dad. Sure Cates is hot, But maybe thats the message.Her red car, her getting Jim in a marriage and having him give up music. To every angel there's a devil. Jim is loyal just trying to help the angel find her way back home and wait for her wing to heal so she can fly home. But nobody seems to believe him. His buddies have exploitations all set up for the angel.And they even manage to kidnap her so they can have a press conference with a tape recorder for music at the town hall.But with all the commotion going on and when the final plot twist finally comes you understand more.
Jim is too good for Patty. It takes an angel to show him that shes a wench. The church doesnt beleive in his angel and Jim is told to take his antics elsewhere. His buddies are money hungry, and his father-in-law to be is willing to push Patty aside because he thinks the Angel is the perfect new cover girl.Hell if I were Jim I'd have an anyuerism too. Luckily his angel is there for him and she knows how to kick hiney!
