Reviews
- Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun - Times 20 December 1983, a lightning bolt from heaven should destroy the film ("This movie shouldhave been struck by a lightning bolt" ). It almost passing nothing. The critics derided the film and asked a few questions - eventually a place where God his holiday spending ( "(5) Where does God go on vacation ?").
- The lexicon of international film ruled: " undemanding comedy with sentimental accents and naive morality, neither exciting nor particularly original; in dealing with religious motives rather simple-minded. ".
- " Adored John Travolta in at From moment to moment? Fielen you joy fainted when you admired Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu? For then you are a real expert in terms of incompetence and should two fail of a kind under any circumstances. " - Time
- " A fader cinema Bic Mäc from the TV canteen, served with a cheesy love story and underpowered camera gimmicks à la football ballet (...)" - Ronald M. Hahn, Volker Jansen, Norbert Stresau: Encyclopedia of Fantasy film 1986
