Tough road to

IF YOU find your eyes turned towards the
, heavens when watching director Gary Medoway’s
new movie, don’t worry about it.

By COLIN LAMGNT

Your eyes and your
thoughts are bound to
wander away during The
Heavenly Kid and the ceiling
is as good a place as any to
look at.

Rating this film as light
entertainment is an
understatement but a safe
statement. The Heavenly Kid
opens in the early 1960's
when .fast Chevys and
slicked-back hair ruled the
road. .

Our hero Bobby (Lewis
Smith) is about to take part
in a chicken race. Looking
like James Dean's twin,
Bobby hops into a battered
°54 Chevy and races his rival
buddy towards a high cliff.
The first guy to junip out of
his car before the cliff is the
chicken.

To impress his girl friend
Emily, Bobby makes sure his
pal bails out first and then
tries to jmp out of his own

car. Oops, no such luck and -

over the cliff goes Bobby
and his black leather jacket.

Splat, crunch, munch and
you guessed it, Bobby is a
dead man. Almost. He
wakes up on a subway head-
ed for heaven where he is
met by the best part of this
whole silly flick.

His new heavenly boss is
Rafferty (Richard Milligan).
Clad in a racy tweed-cap,
tS goggles and hooded
tout, Rafferty roars up to

Bebby on an ancient custom
!

bike and lays out the rules,

Bobby jis stuck in mid-
town and can’t get up-town
(heaven) until he perferms a
few small tasks for head-
office. Until they assign him
a job, the teen rebel must
ride a subway along with
civil war casualties and
tired-looking vikings.

To this point, The Heav-
enly Kid works as a light
comedy but when Bobby
gets sent back to earth,

things try to get serious. His | |

assignments turns out to be a
young kid called Lenny
(Jason Gedrick).
Lenny is a wimp and a
“nerd. Bobby decides to teach
him how to dress cool, look
cool, and drive a cool °57
Chevy. To add some hot
‘drama to the plot, Lenny

turns out to he the son of
Bobby’s old gir! Emily (Jane
Kaczmarek.)

Its hard enough to take a
plot like this for real but for
an added not so surprising
twist, Lenny also turns out
to be Bobby’s son, born
after Bobby tried flying his
car.

In case you are still temp-
ted to see this movie, I won’t
spoil the ending but I will
tell you that the angel in
leather and blue jeans finds

neaven

a few changes from when he
left earth.

Bobby tries marijuana,
stumbles into a gay bar and
tries to figure out the mora!s
of the 1980's. ‘‘There’s been
a few changes,’’ he mutters
wisely.

A few changes in this film
including more appearances
of Rafferty and less attempts
at drama might have been
the director’s ticket to box-
office heaven.

The Heavenly Kid is now
playing at the Royal Centre,
West Van Qdeon, Dunbar,
Dolphin, Scott 72 and
Hillcrest Drive-In.
