Inspired, poetic, lyrical, mystical, beautiful, touching, all this and more, and yet the description of this movie is hard to put into words. The premise is excellent; the adventures of angels hovering over Berlin. Beautiful black & white and color imagery. The poetic dialogue is profound and beautiful, the whole cast is priceless especially Bruno Ganz and Peter Falk. Expert direction by Wim Wenders. Beautiful movie about angelic romance and has a way of reminding us of what we have and of being more grateful that we are living, it makes you ask yourself questions, and some are mentioned in the film; “Why am I me, and why not you, why am I here and why not there, where does space end and where does time begin. Truly a one of a kind movie.

Left in a stupor from partying hard, An angel( Beart) crashes into Jim’s pool after her wing is hit by a satelite. Jim awakens not from the crash mind you but let’s face it pool water flowing on you butt will wake any drunken bachelor boy up.

The comedy insues when Jim has to and try’s to hide the angel from his get rich schemeing buddies and bratish rich girl wife to be Patty ( Cates) not to mention Her dad, and a really mean dog outside his house.

It’s a good film. And it serves it’s purpose. You root for Jim and The Angel. and Emanualle Beart is great as an angel. Thru out the movie she doesnt talk but really uses her expressions very well. She acts with her eyes and face rather well.
Let’s face it its a nice romantic comedy with a supernatural overtone.You cant help but like Jim and the Angel and dislike Phoebe’s character and her dad. Sure Cates is hot, But maybe thats the message.Her red car, her getting Jim in a marriage and having him give up music. To every angel there’s a devil. Jim is loyal just trying to help the angel find her way back home and wait for her wing to heal so she can fly home. But nobody seems to believe him. His buddies have exploitations all set up for the angel. And they even manage to kidnap her so they can have a press conference with a tape recorder for music at the town hall.But with all the commotion going on and when the final plot twist finally comes you understand more.
Jim is too good for Patty. It takes an angel to show him that shes a wench.

The church doesnt beleive in his angel and Jim is told to take his antics elsewhere. His buddies are money hungry, and his father-in-law to be is willing to push Patty aside because he thinks the Angel is the perfect new cover girl.Hell if I were Jim I’d have an anyuerism too. Luckily his angel is there for him and she knows how to kick hiney!

Bobby is a cool Fonz-style greaser who dies in a racing accident sometime around 1968. Once in the afterlife he’s is informed that he cannot get into Heaven unless he accomplishes an assignment. Bobby agrees and 17 years later he returns in Ft. Lauderdale assigned to help a “spazolla” named Lenny. Kinda sounds like an episode of “Highway to Heaven” doesn’t it?

Filled with funny moments, a good story and some unbelievably bad clothes this is a great 80′s time capsule that the entire family can enjoy. My favorite moment is right after his makeover when he goes out trying to impress girls. God, I laughed for two minutes when he shot those cigarettes across the room.
