Although I must admit this italian comedy was not as silly or witless as I presumed when I first saw its synopsis, I still wasn't woved with how this film turned out. Serena Rosi in the leading role gave a solid acting performance, but the character of Archangel Gabriel just felt badly written, awkward and obviously the creators where trying to play the "fantasy character that doesn't understand human manners as the comic relief" card. Eventhough I believe that Fabio Balsamo is actually a good actor, the role of the angel just wasn't salvagable. I think it is actually a shame, that this film didn't try to be a bit more serious because it could discuss the themes of prioritizing career over having children and raising children as a single parent - but as it is, it only scratched the surface of these topics. Overall it was not a complete disaster, but I don't think this film is worth the watch.

Nice, easy but pleasant film

A light but very nice film, it makes you smile and (unexpectedly) think. Both protagonists are good, Fabio Balsamo who plays the archangel is surprisingly spot on, even in the way he spoke (but I won't spoil it, look at the film!). Final that I expected in a way, but instead it wasn't so obvious. Ok, in some points this film could have been developed a little better and in others the ideas are rather trivial, but overall, to spend a TV, sofa and a cup of chocolate evening, it's perfect. I fon't know if it is the fact that I have the same age of the protagonist and the same worries as her, but I liked Beata Te. Recommended. Nice and pleasant film.
