ANGEL IN TRAINING

Cinemavixion Review

Gary Graver's 'Angel In Training' offers a charming, albeit simple, tale of adolescent woes met with celestial intervention. The film, released in 1999, centers on Desi, a young girl navigating the typical challenges of family, friendships, and self-discovery, all while her guardian angel, still earning her wings, provides a unique, often clumsy, form of guidance. Laila Dagher and Danielle Pessis deliver earnest performances as Desi and her angelic helper, respectively. While the narrative doesn't delve into complex philosophical debates, it succeeds in its gentle exploration of growing up and the importance of embracing one's true self. The film's fantasy elements are lightly handled, making it an accessible and heartwarming watch for younger audiences or those seeking a straightforward, feel-good story.
