A gung-ho and merciful angel (Buck Henry) pulls Joe Pendleton (Beatty), a football star, out of his body before his time, forcing the higher powers to come up with a substitute host. Joe settles on a vicious multimillionaire whose wife and partner are trying to kill him. Light, breezy, with not a mean bone in its body, Heaven is based on the 1941 film Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Beatty is wonderfully daft and innocent as Joe, Jack Warden is on top of his form as Joe's trainer Corky, and Julie Christie appears to be playing a diaphanous summer dress. Great comic relief is provided by Dyan Cannon, Charles Grodin, and the notion that the 1978 Los Angeles Rams could go to the Superbowl. --Keith Simanton

 "Everything happens for a reason..." February 10, 2010
jenny (Japan)
1978, I was 8 years old when this came out and I remember going to the theater with my mother.
Today, I was at the DVD rental store, I was walking passed and saw "heaven can wait", it was the recommendation of the month.
I just finished watching it this evening and though it's a very old type of movie, it felt nice...a simple, feel good movie, I could relate to the..."everything happens for a reason", "there's always a plan", "if it's meant to be", "destiny"...my point exactly, that's life and this movie was a good reminder for me, so, I'll have to purchase this to add to my collection...
A great comedy with heart. September 2, 2009
Ron Jelinek (Grand Island, NE)
"Heaven Can Wait" offers a great cast, a timeless story and a pure heart. The music score alone, which I think was nominated for an Academy Award, is beautiful and only helps build the story. I highly recommend this movie.
 Heaven Can Wait--an oldie but goodie June 9, 2009
Gordon Fergusojn
We have watched the movie periodically over a number of years and grew tired of renting it. It is a fun movie with some good laughs in it.
charmingly funny November 23, 2008

"Heaven Can Wait" is a perfect film - it's funny, poignant, has a couple of unexpected plot twists,
features Warren Beatty at his most sincere and beautiful - a wonderful investment of time and energy.
Wonderful -- get it January 2, 2008
Todd E. Mayer
I watched this movie for the first time about a month ago off cable and was so impressed I had to purchase the DVD to add to my library. Years ago when this was at the theater I assumed it was some sort of mockery against God, but it isn't at all. While not the same type of theme, I put the story line on par with The Bishop's Wife (Cary Grant).
