When Angels Come to Town (2004)

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

While Peter Faulk was a good actor I lost respect for him when he played in this movie. This is one of the dumbest movies ever made. It was made to make fun of angels and show them as being human. The premise of the movie is actually evil and tries to make Christmas something other than what it truly is.The person who wrote the story is more to blame but the fact that it was actually made into a movie with one real actor is appalling . This movie should never be seen by an audience that actually loves Christmas and respects angels.

of watching this movie it was apparent a misstep v. reality has been made in the movie.You have to watch this movie, to understand and see how it affects individuals and families in their everyday life.If you are looking for a feel good feeling, watch this movie.If you are looking for a historical, family, finding where you came from, this movie delivers.The challenge comes to you a fellow movie goer to understand the importance of movies like this and how it CAN affect us in everyday life.Please watch the movie and let me know what you think.

Excellent holiday movie along the same lines as It's A Wonderful Life. Tammy Blanchard was AWESOME!!! Peter Falk was excellent also. Would love to see Tammy Blanchard get more featured roles, just saw an old Law & Order episode that she was in also & she does a great job there as well. Falk plays a haphazard angel along the same lines as Claraence in It's a Wonderful Life that even though he is being hounded by his higher ups, proves that he knows what he is going in regards to the situation at hand. This should be played EVERY Christmas & become a family tradition. Now, I am just trying to ramble on enough to get to the 10th line!! :-)

This movie was very heartwarming. It was also very timely as we see a lot of bad news on TV or violence it was great to sit for a wonderful family movie. I especially enjoyed seeing Peter Falk in drag,he's a great actor. Tammy Blanchard, has a way of getting everyone to cry with her, that can be very liberating. Katey Sagal and Gallagher were very funny together. The young boy, Alexander Conti was very convincing and believable. He is very handsome I hope to see him again he seems to have the appeal of Brad Pitt/Leo Di Caprio. Overall the story and the actors were superb. I loved the way the story went back to the past in Berlin. This was a great touch of bring the storyline to a different level. This tied in the family in the story and also the viewers, especially those who were there in Berlin when the wall went up. I have friends who commented on the validity of the story. Their comments were that the cast and actors made the story great. I would definitely compare it to It's a wonderful life. A Great movie,I'll buy it on DVD.
