 Poor And Boring Movie. February 2, 2009
Roberto Vitale (Orlando, FL USA)
It's only merit is that is family friendly. I think. Since I was unable to watch the whole movie, due to overcoming boredom.
 Fantastic! May 30, 2008

Give this movie a try, you'll be glad you did. Bill Cosby and Elliot Gould are great together! The plot might sound a little weird, but the movie works! This is an unknown classic!
Oh Cos You Devil December 23, 2007

The 1980's were not Disney heyday for films. However this devil of a film was cute for the 1980'a.
Bill Cosby is a soul Arranger who give a recently dead Max Devlin (Elliot Gould) a chance to return to earth. His assignment for two months to get three innocent souls to sell their souls. Cosby as Devil is almost as fun as George Burns was in Oh God You Devil. I will say this, when Cos is on screen, he steals the scene away from Gold everytime.
On the other hand, Gould plays a slick con man who is not the sharpest tool in the box. His wide-eyes deer in the headlights look makes his heroic Devlin like most Disney main characters. Gould's simple Devlin does not try to be heroic, it comes out at the end
As flawed and as dated as this film is (its almost 27 years old), it still holds up as a family film.

This cute comedy does not sound preachy. It is Disney with a slight edge. It is a nice family film, it seems dated, but still its good.
 Look at it from the 80's perspective! July 26, 2004

The 80's movies, Horror, Comedy and of course Disney was high camp and over the top cheese. If you approach this movie that way then it is a 5! I had the pleasure of seeing it at the age of 12 and loved it, The song Roses and Rainbows came to me at that emotional time we call puberty. It taught to believe in ones self and don't wait for someone else too, A great lesson at 12! I had the pleasure of meeting Julie Budd and can tell you that there is not a more down to earth Star out there. So sit back in your parachute pants, tight shirt and spray some crazy color in your hair, Then you might get this movie!

This is not actually a review. I love the movie, have it on vhs and would like to get the dvd. However, it doesn't appear to be closed-caption. Any suggestions?
