In this modern holiday classic, Rev. Henry Biggs is the pastor of a small struggling Baptist church in New York. Pulled in a hundred directions by his church's needs, Henry neglects his wife, Julia (Whitney Houston) and his son. Julia worries that her marriage is failing. Beginning to lose his faith, Henry prays to God for help, which comes in the form of Dudley (Denzel Washington), a witty and debonair angel. Dudley tells Henry that he is an angel sent by God to help him, but things take a hilarious twist when the usually unflappable Dudley accidentally falls in love...with the preacher's wife.
This romantic comedy hit showcases dynamic songs by Grammy Award winner Houston, including her Top 10 hit "I Believe In You And Me, ” “Step by Step” and Whitney Houston-belted renditions of “Joy to the World”, “Who Would Imagine a King” and more.
