Imagine an angel who smokes, chases women, and looks like
John Travolta. Yes, it's the archangel Michael (played by
John Travolta, of course) in the movie, "Michael."
Darcy Winters (Andie MacDowell), a dog trainer, poses as
an "angel expert" to get a job at a tabloid. With two experienced
reporters and the tabloid's mascot, a dog, she sets out to
investigate a so - called angel.
That would be Michael, who flew down from heaven to assist
an old woman with a small-town motel. When she dies, Michael
accompanies Darcy and the reporters back to Chicago, where
their tabloid is based. Along the way, he manages to start
a barroom brawl , subsequently landing the four of them in
jail, and create a few small miracles. Not to mention that
he also manages to consume more sugar than a hyperactive four-year-old.
In one disgusting scene, he even puts sugar on french fries
instead of ketchup! Gag me!
Rent this delightful film today mostly because of its light
nature, and superb acting by John Travolta, Andie MacDowell,
William Hurt, Robert Pastorelli, and Bob Hoskins.
My rating : 3 and a half stars
Rating: PG
