The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Blistering performances.

What a mess!
It would be hard to find this many actors who can "act really hard"! But the cast director did.
This is the movie you wish you had done your laundry or washed all your windows, instead of waiting for it to get good.
I hope a lot of people lost their jobs when this came out.

When i was a little girl i watched this with my family some one had recorded it or it was a original i am not for sure. But my daddy loved the movie and so did I. I took it to a friends house after i got much older well i forgot it over there so she was going to bring it to school.But The little town of pool ville i lived in caught on fire and my family got out lucky barley but my friends family along with many others lost there homes, along with the tape. My dad was heart broken and i have searched every where for this great comedy that warms my daddy's heart! My search is not over i will look until i can find it for my dad, i think everyone should watch this movie.It is so cute and funny and romantic.

I accidentally found this movie on a tape I had recorded in 1991 while at college, and finally watched it in 2004. The storyline is weak, but not overly obvious. Has a couple of older stars near the end of their active careers. Erik Estrada is as weak as ever as an actor, and Cindy Williams just can't re-ignite the old time flavor that distinguished her in the 1970's. A few new actors, but mostly a bunch of pretty faces. They take a nice 1956 Chevrolet Belair Convertible in the beginning, and smash it into a tree. The car is brought back to life in the early 1990's (though the cars and attire are more like the mid-1980's). From a classic car's viewpoint, they hit the tree quite hard, and probably bent the frame....hard to watch a classic piece of iron get creamed! An average fun movie, with a few old cars, 50's lingo, and classic attire.

While Earth Angel's plot is not entirely unique (Heavenly Kid, Disney's Susie Q, among others I'm sure), the story line was done well. Older, yet familiar actors (Cindy Williams, Erik Estrada, Mark Hamill) make it a very watchable movie. "Newcomers" Rainbow Harvest (who bears a resemblance to Wynona Ryder in this one), and Cathy Podewell do magnificent jobs as "typical" teens for their time. Also of note is Roddy McDowall as Mr Tatum, pergatory's detention officer, who plays a pivotal, yet fairly minor role. So sit back, suspend disbelief, and just enjoy a very nicely made movie. P.S. Hope this doesn't spoil it, but Angela disappears immediately after completing her "mission", and this leaves no opportunity for Cindy to thank her. This would have been the only thing I would have changed.
