Almost an Angel (1990)
Member Rating:  
Australian star Paul Hogan just couldn't seem to come up with a hit comparable to his 1986 international hit Crocodile Dundee. Hogan's Almost an Angel was a nice try, but no cigar. The star plays a lifelong thief who suffers a potentially fatal accident. While "in limbo", Hogan is visited by God (amusingly played by Charlton Heston-well, why not Charlton Heston?). When he recovers, Hogan is convinced that he'd been returned to the land of the living in order to do God's work. He turns over a new leaf, coming to the assistance of wheelchair-bound Elias Koteas and his pretty sister Linda Kozlowski (the real-life Mrs. Hogan). At first suspicious of Hogan, Kozlowski is finally won over by his new-found sincerity. So lightweight that it threatens to float away at any moment, Almost an Angel is held together exclusively by Paul Hogan's star appeal. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to insure a box-office success. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

MAXEY O.

It is a nice movie that is better than expected. Angel movies do not always work well but this one come fairly close.

Clayton S.

The chemistry between Hogan and Koteas continues in this quirky, but enjoyable comedy about second chances.

Allan A.

This movie was enjoyable and amusing from beginning to end. It had a solid moral tone to it. My kids loved it and I watched to beginning to end without having to hover over teh skip button on my remote. Its a shame more movies are made of this caliber. I highly recommend this film to anyone. Its refreshingly positive family entertainment.
