America's hottest new comedy star takes centre stage in his first leading feature role brought to you by the directors of American Pie and the producer of The Mummy. Based on 'Heaven Can Wait', Warren Beatty's hit film of the 70's, this is a totally hilarious new take on the out-of-body experience. Rock is Lance Barton, a hip, smart talking New York bike courier and amateur stand-up comedian - but his bike has just had a run in with a semi trailer. Now Barton is knocking on heaven's door only to find they're not ready for him. It isn't his time yet. So Barton has to go back down to earth...but in a new body. Now this skinny, wise-ass brother is inhabiting the body of a powerful, podgy, white, middle aged billionaire. And even though his new life isn't always black and white, it is always out of control. Also starring REGINA KING ("Jerry Maguire"), MARK ADDY ("The Full Monty"), EUGENE LEVY ("American Pie") and CHAZZ PALMINTERI ("Analyze This").

Re-make of a '70s movie called Heaven Can Wait. Chris Rock is great in this movie, plenty of laughs and a good ending. Good for a laugh.

B-O-R-I-N-G! No humour, no action, no plot.
