  Down to Earth (2001)

From Amazon: A tepid reworking of Warren Beatty's Heaven Can Wait (itself a remake of 1941's Here Comes Mr. Jordan), Down to Earth tries to mold comedian Chris Rock into an amiable romantic lead, but it softens the scathingly observant humor that made Rock a standup successor to Richard Pryor. Rock's aggressive style is bracingly expressed in a few good scenes, but through most of this movie--from the directors of American Pie--he struggles with dialogue that would barely pass muster in a low-rated sitcom. Edgy potential loses out to crowd-pleasing with the familiar body-switch formula: by way of premature death and bad timing...

Down to Earth Movie Review by B Movie Ben (6/24/2007)

This is the third version of Harry Segall's play Heaven Can Wait. It was first made into the movie Here Comes Mr. Jordan in 1941. Warren Beatty and Ealine may reworked it into Heaven Can Wait in 1978. Now, Chris Rock and company take their script and make this film as a starring vehicle for him.

It really doesn't matter...
