I keep thinking that this movie is called "Twist of Fate," but that is really one of the songs in a soundtrack that did better than the movie. Captivating enchantress Olivia Newton-John is teamed up once more with her "Grease" co-star John Travolta as a duo who will prove to God, humorously voiced by Gene Hackman, that mankind is worth saving. The devil is also on hand in the form of the big ham himself, Oliver Reed. The movie is one entertaining fantasy best when not analyzed and scrutinized apart. The characters are mildly one-dimensional, the plot superficially illogical and the pace uneven. The magic isn't there as it was in their other movie, but I only watch this movie for Olivia anyway. Travolta may have become a Hollywood-minded Scientologist, but he does have some charm in this as a down-and-out inventor who becomes a fumbling bank robber. Go ahead and curse this movie if you will, but Olivia fans will want to embrace it.
