Joe Pendleton is a quarterback preparing to lead his team to the superbowl when he is almost killed in an accident. An overanxious angel plucks him to heaven only to discover that he wasn't ready to die, and that his body has been cremated. A new body must be found, and that of a recently-murdered millionaire is chosen. His wife and accountant—the murderers—are confused by this development, as he buys the L.A. Rams in order to once again quarterback them into the Superbowl.

I can't disagree with the other tepid reviews, but I laughed out loud pretty consistently throughout, and Julie Christie's performance really sold the clincher in the end in a way that outshone the rest of the execution. It's also an interesting time capsule to look back on the first time our society tried to be responsible about environmental stewardship, and how the powers of influence at the time sabotaged that so that we're barely in the same place that we were over forty years ago.

It’s messy, inconsistent, and frequently repetitive but undoubtedly enjoyable. Sort of odd how much love it got from the Oscars back in 1979 too.
