I thought this movie was fun and kind of cute. Unlike some other reviewers, I liked Rob Morrow's performance as Harry the angel. He brought a wide-eyed, goofy, naive innocence to the role. He helped you imagine what it would be like to be experiencing Earth life for the first time, with all its weird emotions, sensations and unfathomable social norms. I liked how he was almost always smiling and upbeat.
The romance between Addie and Erich was okay. It seemed a little forced and unrealistic, and I wish they had developed it a little more. Not sure why Addie had such a hard time believing in herself. Her low self-esteem needed a little more compelling a backstory for me to make it truly believable. Truth be told, however, Addie's story took kind of a back seat to Harry's. He was the character that we were most invested in, and Addie was important only in so far as her success advanced his progression as an angel.
I also read Debbie MaComber's Mr. Miracle book, and the film follows it reasonably closely. I think the book develops the Addie/Erich relationship a lot better, though. Also, there is more drama. For example, Mr. Conceito is truly a tyrant in the book and he attempts to get Elayna, who is a school employee, fired for being involved in Harry's class. He also attempts to shut down Harry's class party because it somehow violated school regulations. Details like this might have added more meat to the plot of the movie, but I guess you have time constraints in a movie and can only do so much.
All in all, I thought the movie was a fun and charming and definitely entertaining, and the characters, especially Harry, were likable and relatable.
