Film: Heaven Can Wait (1978)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Heaven Can Wait

"Do I... play Polo?"
"Not really, sir."

Review: This is an interesting movie that is fun to watch of an athlete who is given a new body after an angel accidently removes him too soon at the scene of a car crash. My biggest complaint is in the end, he is given a new body to live in but his memory of his old life as Joe Pendleton is erased. That is the same thing as death in my book. Charles Grodin steals the scene whenever he is on-screen.

"He got my team. The son of a bitch got my team."
"What kind of pressure did he use, Milt?"
"All I asked was sixty-seven million, and he said 'okay.'"
"Ruthless bastard."

2 1/2 out of 4 Stars
