"You gotta learn to laugh, it's the way to true love." - Michael

Why watch this? It's a great spin on angels, and the miracles we all need.

Plot Summary: Two tabloid reporters investigate a story about an alleged angel living in rural Iowa with an older woman. To their surprise, they discover Michael, a real Archangel, who agrees to accompany them to Chicago. During the journey, Michael, despite his unconventional habits, touches their lives and teaches them about love, faith, and appreciating the present moment.

Dad's Preview: A news crew, starved for a story, travels to see a supposed "angel" named Michael. They're 99% sure it is a hoax. However, they are astonished to find a grown male angel, living with his mother, white wings and all. His mother dies and Michael decides he wants to travel with the news crew, see the world, and perhaps perform a few miracles along the way. Travolta's sweetness really shines through. I particularly love Michael's battle with the bull. This film is creative, tender, and will give most folks a little more to think about life and how we are living it.
