Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential video
After the box-office success of Phenomenon, John Travolta continued to charm audiences with this 1996 comedy-fantasy in which he plays a grubby angel who's got one last good deed to do before heading back to heaven. Living peacefully in the rural Iowa home of an old, friendly motel owner (Jean Stapleton), the winged Michael (Travolta) is hardly the image of a perfect angel. He's scruffy, unshaven, eats sweetened cereal by the box-full and chain-smokes all day long. But when tabloid reporters (William Hurt, Robert Pastorelli) learn of Michael's alleged existence and head to Iowa to check him out, Michael soon realizes that it's his task to see that Hurt falls in love with an "angel expert" (Andie MacDowell) and breaks free from his habitually cynical attitude. There's more to the story, of course (and Chasing Amy fans will recognize Joey Lauren Adams as a waitress who charms the angel), but Michael is more about the effect that this enchanting angel has on the earthbound humans around him. Whether he's chipping away at Hurt's skepticism or attracting a crowd of women on a truck-stop dance floor, Michael is an enchanting figure, and Travolta plays him with just the right tone of humor, reverence, and effervescent charm. Sure, it's lightweight fluff, but director Nora Ephron specializes in lightweight fluff, and Michael is the kind of feel-good movie that never wears out its welcome. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars Please Release This In Widescreen, July 24, 2005
This review is from: Michael (DVD)
This is a great movie, and like all great movies, it should be available the way the director meant it to be seen, in WIDESCREEN. I don't know what the studios are thinking when they only release full screen editions, but soon or later everyone is going to own a rectangular screen, and wish they had widescreen movies. I won't buy this great feel good movie until it's released in widescreen. Studios, take note!

5.0 out of 5 stars Only one thing wrong, May 10, 2005
This review is from: Michael (DVD)
The only thing wrong with this DVD is the aspect! It should be widescreen. If you agree, be sure to say so. Perhaps with enough response we'll get a new release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relax and Enjoy, November 11, 2004
This review is from: Michael (DVD)
I thoroughly enjoyed John Travolta as a less than perfect Angel. He is believable as something that is not believable. Andie MacDowell is brilliant and charming. William Hurt is classic William Hurt. You don't need to be religious to enjoy this adventure. A very under rated film!
