Jim Sanders (Michael E. Knight) is getting ready for his upcoming marriage to rich, spoiled Patty Winston (Phoebe Cates). But after a wild bachelor party he wakes the next morning to find a beautiful winged woman (Emmanuelle Béart) floundering in his pool. It turns out that the gorgeous woman is actually an angel. While trying to convince Patty he is not cheating on her, and to save the angel from being discovered by the media, Jim starts to fall for the otherworldly being.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

This movie ought to be shot. It wastes not only the idea of the angel, but also the human presence of Cates, a bright and quick actress who is required to play a simpering bimbo.

Rated: 1/4

Date With an Angel intends to soar high and with its magical elements intact, and it should have. But this film is grounded by derivative plotting.
