John Travolta literally spreads his wings in this tale of a slightly sinful archangel plopped down in Iowa. The cocky cherub's mission of healing frequently takes a back seat to his delight in such earthly pleasures as dancing, smoking, and drinking, but ultimately his divine duty wins out. As the film's tag line states, "He's an angel... Not a saint." [More]

Reviews for Michael
