    Just one entertaining movie

    An egotistical businessman who has died must now prove that he's worthy of entrance into heaven by helping a young girl, which turns out to be difficult at first, until he learns the meaning of compassion. There are bad guys, good guys, fantasy, drama and a little romance all thrown together into this predictable yet quite enjoyable movie.

    Hope I wasn't drooling

    Pretty actors in one of the worst TV movies I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong - I like bad movies, but this just seems to go on and on. It isn't that the acting is particularly bad, it's just boring. I thought it was almost over only to find it had an hour left. I used it for noise value and cleaned the house.

    Guardian Angel Dad

    First off, the title is very misleading. Not about a stalker-in fact this one actually deviates a bit from the usual MHC formula. A selfish man dies and is given a chance to help his family and get into heaven. Cons: Terrible singing and full of odd facial expressions from the cast. A few noticeable plot holes too. Pros: Overall an okay movie for the family with some mild holiday themes.

    You'll Be Sleeping, too

    "This could happen"?!? In what universe would that be? If Heaven can really wait, why doesn't it? do just that, and spare us all these cloying, wishful thinking movies about the so-called "afterlife." "It's A Wonderful Life" at least had Frank Capra's and James Stewart's extraordinary talents to recommend it. This piece of treacle has only Mr. Mediocre, Greg Evigan, and Erika Elenia, whose relentless Bullockian cuteness can go only so far And It would have been a perfectly serviceable story without all of the "Ghost Whisperer" blather but that kind of thing, apparently, is exactly what all those teenage girls demand and they and their lame, puerile little taste are exercising some kind of spiritless pastel tyranny over the popular culture. The movie also contains more than a few unhappy echoes of "Ghost," the painfully silly beginning of the era of "the-only-good-man-is-a-dead-man movies

    Erika! - a delight as always!

    I am surprised at the summaries I have read. This movie is certainly worth seeing. Yes, it is a fantasy-themed movie with angels coming from heaven to do good deeds, but there are very many of these spiritual or supernatural themes that come out of Hollywood. I am no fan of this type of movie, but when it stars Kelly Preston (JACK FROST) or Erika Eleniak or the like I am certainly going to watch. And both movies were entertaining enough. Besides, Kelly and Erika are gorgeous in these respective flicks. Erika does a fine job in this movie as a singer. I have seen most everything she has done and this movie is better than some of the others. And Greg Evigan I believe did a good job portraying the character the way the author wanted.
