Terry Dean, a charming con artist, is on the run from the mob after a botched heist. Fleeing to a small town, he poses as a new priest to escape his pursuers. He soon finds himself genuinely caring for the local community and the people he's conned, leading to a crisis of conscience and a desperate attempt to make amends before his past catches up to him.
Almost an Angel received largely negative reviews from critics, who found its premise predictable and its humor to be weak. Audiences also showed little interest, contributing to its poor box office performance. Despite Paul Hogan's presence, the film failed to capture the magic of his previous success.
Lacks the charm and wit of Hogan's previous work.
A predictable and uninspired comedy with a weak script.
Relies too heavily on slapstick and unconvincing plot devices.
Google audience: Google users found the film to be a light, albeit forgettable, comedy. Many appreciated Paul Hogan's attempt at a different role but felt the story was too simplistic and relied on tired comedic tropes. Some viewers enjoyed the lightheartedness but agreed it was not a particularly memorable film.
Paul Hogan, fresh off the success of "Crocodile Dundee," starred in and co-wrote this film, hoping to recreate his comedic magic. However, it did not achieve the same critical or commercial success.
