SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
FlashCallahan Terry is an electronics wizard and thief. After he is released from jail, he is hit by a car while saving a little girls life. While in recovery, he dreams that Charlton Heston dressed as God, visits him and tells him he's an Angel, and must start doing good things to make up for his past life. Not believing it at first, he too becomes convinced. Not having any powers yet, he must use his own experiences and talents to make good things happen......Back in 1990 this looked like a sure fire hit, getting the guy from Crocodile Dundee, and making him an Angel, but with a dangerous side. The thing is with Hogan is that, if you are of a certain age, your mum was guaranteed to fancy him, so he had a devout fan base.But as I've realised thanks to education and common sense, you are only as good as the material you are in, and this has to be one of the biggest vanity projects I've ever seen.Even if Hogan wore a T-Shirt saying 'I'm really that good', it couldn't get any back slappingly obvious.He works for The Lord, he's a robber but everyone loves him, he helps kids, he makes a mans last few days his greatest, he convinces an old man to help people, basically he's great.There are a few funny moments, the Rod Stewart bit is a highlight, but Hogan loves himself too much, and it ruins his character.For die hard Hogan fans only, and your mum.
trgusa Paul Hogan plays a criminal who steps out in front of traffic to save a child, and becomes an Angel... almost. He says he's on probation, sorta... but what are you to believe? Is he nuts? Hmmm. Maybe. The humor and light-sided religiousness makes this film a delight.Don't worry about being converted or anything, this is an open-ended movie with morals, granted, but also with that special touch of human bonding, and what it means to love others.Hogan's writing, directing, and acting career spans just 6 films that I know of, and this is a lesser known one... I had the feeling at the end that it was looking for a sequel, or a TV series. No such luck.Magical, humorous, charming, disarming, alarming, and inspiring... see it at least once.
smfarnsworth I'm 36 years old and have been going to the cinema for well over 20 years now. This is the only film I have ever walked out on. I've sat through some crap - but managed to stay until the end. Had I stayed until the end of this I fear I would have killed myself. Paul Hogan is a one-trick pony. Crocodile Dundee was fine for it's time - and it's even aged reasonably well. Croc2 was inevitable - and just about palatable. But IMDb won't allow me to type what I really thought about Almost An Angel in case it offends the readers....And now because of the 10 line rule I'm forced to sit here and type even more about the wretched film which is causing me to despise it all the more. Unfortunately I cannot score it 0
SanDiego Third film in the Crocodile Dundee trilogy finds Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee in jail and with an identity crisis--he thinks he's Terry Dean, a thief who uses electronic wizadry to pull off heists. Crocodile Mick's sexy girlfriend Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) also has an identity crisis--she thinks she's Rose Garner, a do-gooder extraordinaire. Like any good romantic fantasy the two are drawn to each knowing within their hearts that they had loved each other before and are meant for each other. Similar to the plot of "Made In Heaven" and the ending to "Heaven Can Wait." Also has a heaven scene like "Heaven Can Wait" but replaces Mr. Jordan with God. Charleton Heston plays God. Paul Hogan plays Crocodile Dundee/Terry Dean/Willie Nelson/Rod Stewart/Popeye the Sailor Man. Crocodile Mick and Sexy Sue never do get their memories back, however I still have fond memories of Sexy Sue in her black swimmy suit in the original Dundee film.
