Review of We're No Angels (1989) by Sumit R — 18 Mar 2010

DONT LISTEN TO THE CRITICS.

Keep an open mind.

Incredibly underrated.. One of the funniest and most inspiring movies..

Less is More.

I think this is a rare film, in that it delivers a strong message -- mainly that a person's wealth, position or status in society has little to do with that person's pureness of heart/willingness to commit evil -- without using preachy or heavy-handed melodrama to get that message across. In other words, less is more.

I don't understand why...with both Sean Penn and De Niro cast as the main characters...this film didn't get more attention.

Give this gem a chance. the cast is hilarious, direction is superb, and soundtrack is quirky, at times breathtaking.
