There's guns, headshots, car wrecks, musical numbers, animation, robots, angels and bank robberies, in short, everything that makes a good rom-com. Unfortunately after you're done taking this fun ride of a road trip you can't help but feel there never really was any point to it all. No matter it's really just good fun without a lingering aftertaste or really nary an afterthought as well.

It’s been forever since I watched this but I think I’d score it the same as you, and for the very same reasons. It’s fun but throwaway.
ReplyDeleteI read the comic adaptation too. It was serialised in 2000AD at the time.
I saw this part way on TV a couple times before I finally found out what movie this was. Ah, the dark ages before IMDB. I think I've forgotten the title a few time since too.
ReplyDeleteIn spite of my forgetfulness, and although think your score (and your review) is more than fair, but there's something about this one that I really like. Maybe it's just Ewan McGregor, or maybe there's just something about it that feels special to me. I should watch it again.
I quite enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI think I just really like the idea of angels on Earth doing there job no matter how dirty their hands get.
I've written 2 stories like that both completely different in tone from this and each other.
The musical number got me uber-giddy too. Love that kind of stuff. XD
