Joe Pendleton... the only guy who ever raised Hell about going to Heaven.
1978 · 1h 41m · PG
Comedy, Fantasy, Romance
Directed by
Warren Beatty

Buck Henry
Joe Pendleton is a quarterback preparing to lead his team to the superbowl when he is almost killed in an accident. An overanxious angel plucks him to heaven only to discover that he wasn't ready to die, and that his body has been cremated. A new body must be found, and that of a recently-murdered millionaire is chosen. His wife and accountant—the murderers—are confused by this development, as he buys the L.A. Rams in order to once again quarterback them into the Superbowl.
Top critics, in their words
[The film] has everything going for it: big laughs, populist politics, billowy sequences set in heaven, a murder plot, a climactic Super Bowl game, a supporting cast of choice comic actors, and best of all, a touching (but PG) romance.
Heaven Can Wait is an outstanding film.
It's certainly likable enough and was a big hit when it came out, but one could hardly call it an auspicious artistic debut -- a crafty commercial entertainment with a certain amount of intelligence is more like it.
The film drags its feet uncertainly from beginning to end.
There's nothing worse than a pushy narrative.
