Just the movie a girl like me would pick on a whim based on the title alone; as it's precisely what my little heart desires! J This 1997 romantic comedy starring the younger Ewan McGregor and ever-leggy Cameron Diaz wasn't anything dramatic, shocking or academy nominated, but certainly entertaining and good-hearted fun. Writer John Hodge and director Danny Boyle executed a small idea into something short of extraordinary. From heaven to earth and back, it kept its audience giggling and gripping for the two main's characters fall for love.
A rather cupidesque route in love as it was as painful as an arrow in the heart would seem to be for anyone, yet necessary by all means as it was the one thing both of the main characters were missing in their lives. Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo who played angels of love also delivered exceptionally on their comic timing and seamless un-nerving attempts at creating love; their God-given mission to be sent to earth. One of their far from angelic sputters which went:
"Human*ucking beings, what do we have to do to make you fall in love? We did everything for them and still they don't know how to accept it!"
A light, feathery and amusing deliverance of how lovely it can be when two un-likely people fall in love. For it's what we all crave isn't it? To love and be loved; and then it wouldn't be ordinary at all, now would it? J
