All the scenes between the angel Emmanuelle Béart and Michael E. Knight were great, even brought me to tears near the end. But all the other characters, with the possible exception of Michael's father, were played as cartoons. Why the writer/director would make such a decision I cannot fathom.The angel costume/character is absolutely beautiful, wings and all, as is the lighting.I do so wish the ending had been the opposite - personal preference. After such a build-up during the penultimate scene, I was let down.Also wish we were allowed shorter reviews as in the past. It is difficult to come up with additional commentary when there wasn't much of value to view. When a project such as "Date With An Angel" offers employment to so many and takes such an effort on the part of the actors and crew, one would hope that the daily rushes would give a clue to the eventual outcome.

I found this film to be one of the most beautiful, funny and occasionally sad films i have ever seen! The acting is excellent. The music is perfect for the theme. The special effects are very very well done for the times and the comedy is top notch! I highly, highly recommend this film for ALL the family. I think the plot was very well thought out as well. I must have watched this film at least 80 times and never get tired of it. "Patty" is incredibly funny in some scenes too. I think they couldn't have found anybody as good as the angel. She was terrific and played the part so so well. Im very hard to please when it comes to films and believe me, this pleased me 100%. Rent or buy it. You wont be disappointed.

When I was a kid 19 years ago,one evening,I met the angel who to be my dream horse.Every child has a dream,and this movie bring me the most beautiful girl,the fantastic love,a perfect night.Her face is so holy and pure.Although she has no words,her pretty smile already let me fall in love with her.In my opinion,a movie is a dream.The standard of which the movie is good or bad is that whether it's a good or interesting dream.Maybe the "Date With An Angel" seems to be too naive,but it do bring many kids a wonderful dream.So ,I think the "Date With An Angel" is the one of the best movies. (My English is not well,so there is some mistakes of grammar,please to pardon me.)

Anybody who looks at this film, will say what a unimaginative story, nervetheless at leat a bit entertaining.... But in a contrast to this, the soundtrack is a very special one. The music is by Randy Kerber / Sound Design by Dane Tracks. Singing composition and additional voice is by Avant Garde diva Joan La Barbara. Her voice is uttering in a peculiar way. Not human, maybe angelic?! - Usely angels in films sing like saloon sopranos from the 19th century in very kitschy manner. The music in the film is very kitschy, too. But the voice of La Barbara ist relativating the rest of the film.
