It's amazing how poorly written this movie is!
Sam sort of indirectly causes the death of both his killer and the conspirator in his murder. He harasses the gunman until he gets hit by a car. But it's apparently OK, because Sam is a cute white guy and Willie is a bad brown guy.
I mean, none of this is explored.
Also, there is the glaring separation of heaven and hell, good and evil. Clearly, there can't have been both good and bad things you did in life. Nope, you're going to one of two places and that's that. It doesn't matter that Sam is involved in high-end banking, that his whole career is based on transferring money from rich people to more rich people.
Demi Moore's hair is undeniably awful.
Whoopi, though, gives one of the better comedic performances I can remember ever seeing in a film. Which is saying a lot - and ultimately redeems the film.
But - there is a very intimate slow dance scene Demi has with Whoopi, and of course they have to put Patrick's body there cause they can't show two women being close like that - icky.
The ending is so long and drawn out.
In short, this is porn for simple people with a lazy Christian ethos.
