    Is there a Meg Ryan film that isn't good. Oh yeah, Joe vs the Volcano. Anice little film with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. Probably one of Nicks more heartwarming movies.

    I really loved that movie, as I've loved most of Meg Ryan's older films and as I've loved most of the movies about "the other side".

    I really like Nicolas Cage as an actor and I don't really like Meg Ryan but the two were quite good together and I really liked the movie.

    This is a beautiful and different style of romance story. If you like Ghost, you might consider this. Of course, Ghost is better and more original.

    Meg Ryan is quite beautiful, she can act very well. It isn't very hard for Oscar winner Nicolas Cage to portray such a role.

    In love and all relationships, we need to sacrifice.

    City of Angels have grossed more than USD$180,000,000.00 in worldwide box office.

    Nominated for Golden Globe Best Original Song - Motion Picture
    Alanis Morissette for the song "Uninvited" and two Grammys.

    Rated 3 stars by Roger Ebert.

    This is a very romantic movie with two very talented actors, however it is also very predictable. Still, this movie is worth watching. The storyline had a good idea behind it, but I did not feel they took it as far as they could have.

    Another one of those movies I could watch and watch and watch. It's romantic, sad, deep, and cheesy all in the same film...! It's wonderful all in all.

    Oh, right... Now I remember why I didn't think too highly of this movie when I first saw it... I'd forgotten how terribly frustrating it was.
    There's really nothing to it, is there?... Yeah, ok, an angels falls madly in love with a mortal, and I must admit that's not the kind of thing we see happening everyday, but... Besides that, what have we got here?... Ehr... Not much,right?... I mean, they talk, and talk, and hang around the library, and talk, and talk, and go fruit shopping, and talk, and talk, and stare at each other, and talk a little more, and cry, and argue, and... finally comes an interesting scene to break the dullness, and then... What was it, really?... Oh, that's right... They kiss, and cuddle, and talk, and talk, and... Yep, a love story pretty much like all the rest, except that he's an angel instead of a human being. And that's really the only original thing about this movie. And also what saved it from an even lower rating.

    they really don't look good together, their relationship was even doomed from the start. this is a very sad love story, but one that would make you want to watch it again and again and again.

    Nowhere near the amazing and perfect beauty, acting and cinematography of Wim Wenders classic original masterpiece of 1987. This remake is almost identical and the climax of the film is somewhat stupid and dissapointing.

    75/100

    I do love the beauty of this movie and the depth it speaks of ...
    I do confess to not liking the ending as I felt it would have been better if they simply ended it with her and the truck, no more words spoken, no funerals shown, no diving into the ocean ... but that is just my opinion.
    A movie to admire for many many years to come

    Director Brad Silberling and screenwriter Dana Stevens have decided to amplify the romantic elements of Win Wenders' wondrous 1987 classic, "Wings of Desire", but stick to the basic plot elements.

    This started my theory of needing to develop the female character for guys to like the movie, and vice versa. Girls love it, I don't.

    He literally "falls" in love with her. He gives up everything to be with her and in return only gets a short amount of time with her. She in turn has every belief that she clings to turned upside down. They both have to make an adjustment. The ending may be sad but really it is a lesson that you need to rember what time you have sith someone and make the most of it because you don't know how long you really have.
