Struggling comic Lance Barton knows what it's like to die on stage. But when his life takes an unexpected turn - straight to heaven - Lance is sure there's been a mistake. Miraculously, he's right! An angel tells Lance he was taken prematurely but assures him he can be returned to Earth - in the aged body of a ruthless white billionaire. In this improbable reincarnation, Lance begins a hilarious quest to realize his showbiz dream...and, along the way, discovers the person he never imagined he could be. Chris Rock delivers a first-rate performance in this romantic comedy remake of HEAVEN CAN WAIT.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming fish-out-of-water comedy where a struggling comic gets a second chance at life in an unexpected body. It's a warmhearted romp that blends romantic comedy with the absurdist premise of reincarnation, played with genuine charm by Chris Rock.
