Big fan of Nicolas Cage but this movie was not great and had the fizzle effect in it after a strong start out the gate.

This is a great romance movie. It's a little slow but trust me when you get through it, it's totally worth it!! I wasn't expecting the ending and it even made me cry. Such a sweet movie. :)

From it's heartbreaking opening scenes, to its tense, terse, edge of your seat romance, this movie is a must see for the romantic at heart. An Angel deigns to give up his immortality and take a fall in order to learn more about himself, to discover what it means to be mortal, to love, and to be loved. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy a feel good gripping romantic drama with a great soundtrack.

A love story that makes you want to beat the writer for the way it ends.

One of my favorite romantic movies. Nicholas Cage is mesmerizing as an angel falling in love with Meg Ryan's character, a doctor living and working in L.A. Meg is simply stunning. The color, the sounds, the pace are all magical, as Cage finds an ally in the strangest place in his quest to consummate his impossible love. The ending is bittersweet, hopefully it will make you cry, and it will leave you wanting to watch it again and again in the years to come. Because Love is timeless.

The good news, he is an angel. The bad news, he looks like N

"This movie is a desperate imitation of "wings of desire". It is cheesy and barely contemplates the thought of existence. The only part you might want to watch is when the Goo goo dolls song is played. After all, if you want to sacrifice eternity, you better not do it for Meg Ryan!"
A Classic!

"This beautiful classic speaks for itself. This movie is so many things and speaks in so many ways to life itself and the value and significance of our mortality."
