Gospel version of the Bishops Wife about an angel who comes down to help a clergyman find direction in a battle between family and the pressures of his job.
Denzel as an angel is inspired casting. Actually the cast is uniformly good, I only wish the script hadn't let them down. I supposed the fact that 50 years had passed since the first film required that some changes be made to the script and plot, but did they really have to move in the direction of TV movies? Its good but things could have been so much better, and I'm not saying that as a fan of the original.
Certainly worth seeing but given the choice see the original since it will make you feel good all over for days, this one does the same thing, but only for its running time.
