Patty Winston (Phoebe Cates) is the entitled daughter of a cosmetics company owner. She's the face of their entire advertisement. Jim Sanders (Michael E. Knight) is a company executive set to marry her. After a night of partying by her bros, he wakes up to find a fallen angel (Emmanuelle Béart) in the swimming pool. She breaks her wing and has a powerful effect on men.
It's fun that Emmanuelle is doing physical comedy with her angel. It's an interesting non-voice for her character. She is basically Mr. Bean and that's weird. There is potential for something with this fish out of water aspect. This movie may work if she's the lead character but it's the boy. The character is pathetically bland and the actor has no charisma. In a way, she's an object to the men in this movie and that it is very off-putting. Non of the guys have an appealing story. The kidnapping is just bad... and criminal. Jim's affections are not earned. The attempt at a love triangle is cringeworthy. I expected more from Phoebe Cates but she's nothing more than a side character and she isn't doing anything interesting. She's just angry after the angel. She seems to be losing her screen presence with the shorter cut. It's Felicity all over again. This is hard to watch most of the time. There are a couple of fun moments early on before the movie really pounded me down. This is generally bad.
