About
You’ll likely enjoy Angel if you like romantic comedies with glamorous leads and lively banter; Not for you if you want an especially surprising plot or heavy emotional drama, and it’s not as restrained as Heaven Can Wait or The Merry Widow.
Pros: sharp dialogue; strong performances; stylish atmosphere | Cons: familiar love-triangle setup; plot not groundbreaking
