It's a pretty awful film
12 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The film starts with Angelina (a go-getting business woman) showing how go-getting she is by firing an underling on Christmas Eve. Minutes later, she's killed by a drunk driver.

She wakes in Malibu (according to the Archangel Gabriel, it's Purgatory) and is told she can save herself by saving her daughter, Ravin, who's set upon being a go-getting, heartless businesswoman like her mom. Btw, it's almost a year later and she's got 3 days to complete the task.

Apparently it's true you can't speak ill of the dead, because a number of characters tell Ravin what a kind, loving angel her mom was. Ravin's new stepmom (one of Angelina's best friends!) gets Ravin working at the soup kitchen she helps run, where Ravin learns about true friendship while sweeping the floor and watching a regular at the soup kitchen get brought back to life.

The storyline is shaky and most of the acting is terrible. Lucille (Mara Rydell) was great as the maid who can hear Angelina's voice but never realises her ex-boss has come back to save her own daughter. (They really needed to use Lucille more.)

Lucille and an incredibly cute killer dog called Bunny are the best bits of the film. Dean Cain fans will probably watch this but, otherwise, save your time and watch something better.
