This movie, while starring a TV sitcom couple, really has a serious message that people should take to heart about what love is, and the importance of working it out with your significant other.
The dialogue between Lucy and the angel is also very thought provoking. As she says to him, "You make awfully good sense!"
I love movies about angels but will never understand people's reluctance to believe in them, even in film- which is the one thing that bugs me about this one. Lucy is at first convinced that she is losing her mind, then after that, she accepts that she's not, but is annoyed at the angel's presence before finally appreciating him! But, if it were me, I would appreciate him from the start! Ghosts, I might run from and be freaked out by, but not guardian angels- or at least I hope not- because having one in my life would be such a comfort. But at least I can take solace in the thought that somewhere out there, there's an angel who is watching over me.
I always come away from movies like this feeling great, but also a little jealous, because I really envy these characters who can see the angels. I mean, why would anyone NOT want a sweet, heavenly angel in their life?!
Bonus points for the brief moment of sexual tension Lucy had for her angel. I felt that!!

For a similar treat, check out the Jane Lynch sitcom "Angel from Hell" about a possible guardian angel who means well, but seems very inept at her job, leading viewers to wonder "Is she from heaven, or...?" It's often heartwarming, very funny, silly, but also clever. You can find all 13 episodes on Amazon Prime and maybe other streaming services.
