Ratings and reviews

You know, to me it's really strange in the movie that the angel "Dudley" falls in love with Whitney Houston's character who also has to be the wife of a pastor.That was really strange to me. An angel of god falling in love with a human being sounds really nasty. Being known as one of the greatest singers of all time because of her strong and incredible vocals, in the film Whitney Houston really shows out the greatness of her singing voice.

Classic Christmas movie. Very much cheesy but what's a good holiday movie without a heavy dose of wholesome predictability and a phenomenal soundtrack. Long live Queen Whitney 👑

If you need a spiritual pick me up or you are just looking for an awesome flick, then you've found both. Put on the kettle and sit back and enjoy. My hats are off to the makers of this flick. Bloody good job mates.
