Well if you thought poor “Clarence” was a bit hopeless in “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) then wait til you meet “Gabriel” (Keanu Reeves). He’s an entry-level angel, replete with stunted wings, who is charged with stopping careless drovers from texting whilst crashing. He’s bored, and so when he spots the down-at-heel “Ari” (Aziz Ansari) he believes he might have discovered a pet project for himself.
