A trio of bleeding- heart angels strike a deal with him: if they can find just two good souls, the Lord will allow Earth to survive. Unfortunately, the angels have staked the future of the species on a thieving bank teller and an inventor/con- artist!- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -anonymous from USA- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -This movie didn't get as much credit as it deserves.

It has a cute story and it does have that great star power. It has times when it's funny and it has times when it's romantic and it has times when it's dramatic.
So it didn't have that same spirit as Grease if you give it a chance to prove itself you might actually enjoy it and not punish it for not living up to what people expected. They were determined to do another film together and had looked through over 3. Other reviewers have already written about the plot, so I won't concentrate on that, rather on the performances and the way the film comes across. There is a pretty starry cast here - Gene Hackman plays God, Oliver Reed plays the Devil and angels include Charles Durning and Beatrice Straight.
Unfortunately, as a film experience, it just doesn't seem to work - probably the reason why it did so poorly at the Box Office at the time, despite a $5m marketing budget. Lots of rewinding and stopping time, which can be confusing if you're not paying attention; Oliver Reed singing(badly); and minor characters (Olivia's flatmates, her landlord) that do nothing for the plot and tend to irritate when they appear. However, Olivia and John do make a very cute couple - I spent the entire second half of the film with a grin on my face, feeling very soppy, once they get it together. The acting on the part of the two stars is fine. If I'm nit- picking, ONJ gives a slightly uneven performance in TOAK - one or two scenes where she seems to be saying the words with a bit too much . They both have a good sense of timing, and that comes though. She even swears in one scene, which is a bit weird the first time you hear it!
I always felt sorry that ONJ had a poor run with films after Grease and pretty much chucked the acting in, bar the occasional TV movie, although she seems to be making a slow return in a few indie films in the last 5 years. I think she could of gone on to a decent film career if she'd have picked some better films in the early 8. She does have a good sense of comic timing (she is known in entertainment circles for a wicked sense of humour) - maybe in an alternate universe could have been the Meg Ryan of her generation.. The soundtrack is probably the strongest thing about TOAK - ONJ sings about half of what you hear in the film; she is head and shoulders above everything else. Olivia and John even do a duet - .
However, I appreciate its faults, and I'm not going to pretend that it's something it isn't. All in all, it's not a . Where you are going to get rewarded watching TOAK is if you are a fan of Olivia and/or John (especially the two of them together.) It is a romantic comedy, and not a particularly good one at that, but that chemistry between them is certainly still there after .
Newton- John is the bored bank teller who takes pity on his predicament, teaming up as they dodge enemies and the law. Amid all the chaos, God has decided that the world is no longer worth the effort and plans to bring about its end. Only the intervention of a trio of well meaning angels (and Travolta and Newton- John as the saviours) can change God's mind. Encapsulating the unusual plot in a few sentences almost makes it sound complicated (not to mention absurd), but in reality, it's very light and entertaining. Diverse cast in the supporting ranks (Reed, Durning, Crothers, Straight and Hudson most notable) provide madcap characterisations, and Travolta and Newton- John have an on- screen chemistry that is warming, if hopelessly corny at times.
The soundtrack featuring some minor hits from Chicago, Journey and Boz Scaggs as well as Newton- John, is easy listening and fits the lighthearted mood well. There's some reasonable action sequences, stunts and set- work, and enough entertaining moments to fill out the 8.
An honest invention, not the typical self- indulgent romantic comedy that became stock standard of the nineties. Good cast, more comedy than romance, what's not to like? John and Olivia are reunited for the first time since Grease, and the results were a big letdown for a great many people. Our story centers around the fact that God, played by the voice of Gene Hackman, is fed up with humanity. He's so tired of all the crime and bad behavior on Earth that he plans on sending another huge flood to finish us all off.
Four angels (who are perhaps the best part about the film) plead with God to give humanity one more chance. God agrees, but demands to see some kind of miracle within a week or so. Apparently it will only take a couple of mere mortals (Travolta and Newton- John) sacrificing something for each other to save all of man kind. Too bad both characters are self- centered and shady. Travolta is a struggling inventor(!) who owes a fortune to a violent loan shark.
Newton- John is a struggling actress who also works at a bank that Travolta plans to rob for the money to pay off his debt. Olivia tricks him and takes the money for herself, setting up contrivance after contrivance for the remaining screen time. It looks like the world will come to an end since neither character trusts the other (why should they?) and the Devil is also on the scene to foul things up for them. I could go on and on about this plot, but you probably get the idea. This is pretty questionable material we're working with in terms of a screenplay.
I liked Oliver Reed quite a bit as the Devil. If the Devil walked the streets of New York, I suppose that's how he'd look or act. I also enjoyed watching he and the Charles Durning's angelic character square off by moving time back and forth to suit their respective needs. The film gets a few laughs out of a restaurant scene where the two demolish the place before God appears to reign in Durning for . There is little or no chemistry between the two leads, and that was the main reason behind this film's failure.
Travolta's body is bound to be a plus for the ladies in the audience. He was still buff from his work in . Olivia looked better in Xanadu with her longer hair, if I may be so bold. The film did virtually nil at the box office, and Travolta's career went south in a hurry shortly thereafter. I'll give it 4 stars mostly for the great cast.
And any film with Scatman Crothers always gets a bonus star from the Hound. I loved that guy. The chemistry between John and Olivia is turned up another notch in this vehicle,and Olivia Swears!!! This is the only Film Livvy did during her Hot Blooded Vamp days, So if you like you Diva from Down under with an Attitude, T. O. A. K. True, the wheezing, inane plot and phony contrivances of . John Travolta, on the other hand, is slumming it, walking through a rather hopeless role as a would- be inventor so deep in debt he stoops to robbing a bank; Newton- John is the teller who dupes him out of a small fortune. Cheesy, but big- hearted film is a sweet fairy tale, a comic- book romance that doesn't strive for much more than silly laughs and star- crossed love.
There's a lot to watch for here, the once- hot trendy hairstyles hairstyles, edible sunglasses, an small role by an up- and- coming Kathy Bates, are all in here. John's physique was still lookin' hot from . Their clothes and hair are classic mid- 8. I'm sure it was a refreshing change for ONJ from the peasant dress she wore in . Reed is a pleasure to watch, and Crothers is as jovial here as he was playing Kick the Can in . This should play on local UHF stations Saturday or Sunday afternoons in a double bill with the Carol Burnett/Alan Arkin film, !
Plus there's Oliver Reed and some simple fun special affects; although the general plot- line is a very overused one. I can honestly say I truly noticed how music,TV and movies all entered a grand state of confusion and lack of direction. An all too obvious bait on a hook to attract movie goers and what fans they still had. The trouble is,they don't sing or dance in this movie,which is why everyone loved them in !
This also has to be done without interfering with . Despite the fact that they . It typically works out in the end,this is a .
Two years after this film,the hit songs stopped coming for her and we all know what happened to Travolta. This and other films like . I still like it though,but not like I did in '8. Would you believe I chose this over ?
To prove it, they set up two unlikely people to fall in love and sacrifice everything for one another - a real miracle. Very much worth seeing - and it is even a cheap owner now. A must see for Olivia and Travolta fans. Not as much fun as Grease, but give it a chance.
Because Olivia Newton- John's hit single . To date, this is the second and final star teaming. The poster was intended to reference Olivia Newton- John's Australian identity. When Olivia approached them asking to pet the dog, the owner warned her that Pascha was afraid of crowds.
Leaning in to pet him anyway, she was bitten on the hand. Needless to say, this ended Pascha's movie career, and they filmed the scene without him. Olivia braved the injury and kept on working.
The song is not acknowledged in the credits. In the film, there are four angels: Charlie, Earl, Gonzales, and Ruth.
