Le paradis d'angela

The story is unoriginal, and the acting is bad. The main character playing the ghost is too much silliness and annoying. I couldn't take anymore of it and stopped watching halfway through. Many people have given it positive big ratings, perhaps its because of the cars and music, but the film is just daft. What kids made that?

I loved this film. It may seem a little corny but the plot is well thought out. I gave it a 10 out of 10 and would do again. It may not be a film packed with action or car chases but it is still well worth the watch. The performances from the actors and actresses should be recognised and loved

"Earth Angel" is a classic TV movie, the urban legend of the prom queen who dies in the 50's or 60's (as is the case in this movie) takes a drastic romantic-comic change instead of being a horror story, the result is amazing. The film is wonderful with a very positive touch, the script is quite compelling, the light-dark cinematography is very good, the performances are quite funny and cute, the costume and hairstyle designs based on the 60's are well done. A classic from TV movies.

I accidentally found this movie on a tape I had recorded in 1991 while at college, and finally watched it in 2004. The storyline is weak, but not overly obvious. Has a couple of older stars near the end of their active careers. Erik Estrada is as weak as ever as an actor, and Cindy Williams just can't re-ignite the old time flavor that distinguished her in the 1970's. A few new actors, but mostly a bunch of pretty faces. They take a nice 1956 Chevrolet Belair Convertible in the beginning, and smash it into a tree. The car is brought back to life in the early 1990's (though the cars and attire are more like the mid-1980's). From a classic car's viewpoint, they hit the tree quite hard, and probably bent the frame....hard to watch a classic piece of iron get creamed! An average fun movie, with a few old cars, 50's lingo, and classic attire.

While Earth Angel's plot is not entirely unique (Heavenly Kid, Disney's Susie Q, among others I'm sure), the story line was done well. Older, yet familiar actors (Cindy Williams, Erik Estrada, Mark Hamill) make it a very watchable movie. "Newcomers" Rainbow Harvest (who bears a resemblance to Wynona Ryder in this one), and Cathy Podewell do magnificent jobs as "typical" teens for their time. Also of note is Roddy McDowall as Mr Tatum, pergatory's detention officer, who plays a pivotal, yet fairly minor role. So sit back, suspend disbelief, and just enjoy a very nicely made movie. P.S. Hope this doesn't spoil it, but Angela disappears immediately after completing her "mission", and this leaves no opportunity for Cindy to thank her. This would have been the only thing I would have changed.
