This movie ought to be shot. It wastes not only the idea of the angel, but also the human presence of Cates, a bright and quick actress who is required to play a simpering bimbo. Go to Full Review

Date With an Angel intends to soar high and with its magical elements intact, and it should have. But this film is grounded by derivative plotting. Go to Full Review

Harry L Apr 17, 2018 This is a very enjoyable film. It's supposed to be light and fun, not a serious, ponderous film which some critics seemed to have wished. See more
