for the most part and michael be a disaster ten minute of charm and ninety worth of misstep . travolta and macdowell do their best and frequently rise above nora ephron numbingly banal script . but the film move like a snail . and even within it fantasy context and the character behave implausibly on a regular basis . ( reporter who routinely let the story of a lifetime an apparent angel live on earth out of their sight . ) someone forget to tell romantic comedy maestro ephron that william hurt and brilliant in so many other film and be no tom hank . the movie climax redefine the word contrive . ephron may be shoot for heaven here and but unfortunately michael be a long and long ride through cinema heck .
