God returns after 25 years and he's disappointed with humanity under the four angels; Charlie (Charles Durning), Earl (Scatman Crothers), Gonzales (Castulo Guerra), and Ruth (Beatrice Straight). God proposes to start over but the angels convince him that there is goodness even in a man like Zack Melon (John Travolta), a failing inventor who owes money to gangsters. He tries to rob a bank but teller Debbie Wylder (Olivia Newton-John) switches the money with worthless slips. God agrees to bet that Zack would sacrifice himself for her and her for him... within a week's time. The Devil (Oliver Reed) has other plans.Travolta and Olivia Newton-John reunite for this less-than-stellar follow-up. They are not as appealing as the first time. Their characters are a bit clunky. Their charisma and a few pop hits are the only saving grace. Everything else has that clunky muddle.

This movie was really cute and romantic, but I didn't like how they made it that if the two characters didn't fall in love that it would be the end of the world, God would not leave that up to them. However, the angels getting them together was a good point, I liked that part. The romance in this movie is phenomenal. The sparks between Olivia Newton John and John Travolta are sensational, I like that combination. *Sighs* John Travolta. Plus they're both talented actors, but to my disappointment there was no hand jive in this movie (haha.), but there was this romantic dancing scene. The movie was very witty and beautiful. So it gets seven stars.

Angels make a bet with God that if two selfish people can redeem themselves in a week, the world will not be destroyed. I'm guessing this is supposed to be some homage to Capra's "A Pocketful of Miracles." If so! WRONG! It's a disappointment in all areas. Travolta is way off base here. John tries to be a dramatic actress and is all over the place. The immense talents of Reed, Durning, Straight and Crothers are wasted in this lackluster film. The worst performance of Travolta's career.

A somewhat unique storyline whereas God decides to end the world again being stalled only by his closest angel advisors who submit to him that the human race is worth saving. To prove it, they set up two unlikely people to fall in love and sacrifice everything for one another - a real miracle.Very much worth seeing - and it is even a cheap owner now. A must see for Olivia and Travolta fans. Not as much fun as Grease, but give it a chance.
