Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
God, returning to heaven after a holiday, decides to wipe out the errant human race. The archangels, earning a stay of execution provided two randomly selected specimens prove to be Good, rest their case upon Zack (Travolta) and Debbie (Newton-John): he immediately holds up a bank, and she walks off with the loot. What follows is a rather complicated orchestration, with musical interludes, of this simple story in which Good and Evil battle it out with Zack and Debbie in between, as oblivious to all these earth-stopping machinations as the teenagers flocking to see Hollywood's best-brushed teeth will be to superior antecedents like A Matter of Life and Death. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon.Author: FD
