![]() Hutton is heartbroken, and Emmett offers a deal. Their love is deep and joyful, but, unfortunately, flawed: It cannot last forever because McGillis is a spirit who has not yet done her tour of duty on earth, and must leave any day now to inhabit a human body and put in her time. Before long, Hutton has imagined himself in a log cabin somewhere in the heavenly Rockies, with a meadow all around and clouds clear up to the sky, and he has also fallen in love with one of the other residents of heaven, played by Kelly McGillis. He is greeted there by his aunt ( Maureen Stapleton), who explains some of the rules, and by a strange man named Emmett, who speaks for (and presumably even to) God. His story involves a pleasant young man ( Timothy Hutton), who dies in an accident and goes to heaven. This is the same man who made " Choose Me" and " Trouble in Mind," and now his central concern seems to be paying homage to Warren Beatty's " Heaven Can Wait." In fact, the movie blows most of its opportunities to have fun with heaven, in order to strand us on earth in a plot so humdrum you can hardly believe the movie was directed by Alan Rudolph. ![]() That doesn't come up in the movie, unfortunately.
