ALWAYS **** The story of a man who dies and comes to grips with having loosened from the ties that had woven his life together through becoming a spiritual entity works well as an effective drama rather than a realistic stab at how one wholly finds closure. The players work well together in director Steven Spielberg's little sleeper which is both lightweight and heartfelt. It is Audrey Hepburn's last film too. Richard Dreyfuss plays a firefighting pilot who dies in the air to save his buddy (John Goodman) from a similar fate. He becomes a guardian angel to a fledging pilot as he tries letting go of his sweetheart (Holly Hunter).
