Aziz Ansari made a film that gave me a good hour and a half of chuckles, a good, entertaining time, and a feel-good after-movie evening spent thinking about this light but important comedy.\u00a0 Important as the people and the angels are good overall, with some faults.\u00a0 Morals do count, and this film points that out, if you actually look<\/p>\n
The acting in this one is pretty much a D class example of less-than-serious performances, but engaging.\u00a0 This is a nice cast, and they are what you want in a film like this.\u00a0 Yes, Keanu Reeves is one hell of a bad actor, and we know that.\u00a0 He doesn’t hide it here, and plays the angel that is a failure, losing those tiny wings. Rogan is almost as bad, and that is good for this film.\u00a0 His role seems like his real personality, and that is not a negative.\u00a0 And Ansari is top-tier bad too, which again, is good.\u00a0 His first time behind the camera shows he can do comedy, and I look forward to his next project.\u00a0 I really liked this film, and I think most nice people will too.\u00a0 “Most people don’t need an angel, just another person.”\u00a0 Yes, I agree.\u00a0 \u00a0I will watch it again down the road, when I need a chuckle and need to feel good.\u00a0 \u00a0Viewed on Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n
Four stars out of five stars in my short Letterboxd review.\u00a0 Highly recommended for good people.\u00a0 If you are a creep or bad azz, forget about it.<\/p>\n
