The Heavenly Kid (1985)

In the cosmic whirl of life and death, Bobby finds himself stuck in the purgatorial layers of the afterlife following a fatal car crash. Not yet deemed worthy for the celestial abode, he's bestowed with the role of a guardian angel, tasked with guiding wayward souls. His first assignment brings him face to face with a timid young boy, Lenny, who unbeknownst to him, is his very own offspring. Lenny, hopelessly smitten with the dazzling Sharon, struggles to catch her attention. Taking on the mantle of a celestial makeover artist, Bobby transforms the bashful boy into a confident, irresistible charmer. Amidst this metamorphosis, a truth unfurls - Lenny's mother is none other than Bobby's past love, now married to another man. In a forbidden act of longing and love, Bobby reveals himself to her, throwing himself into a whirlwind of earthly emotions and celestial repercussions. As he prepares for the seemingly inevitable descent into hell for his transgressions, he vows to sacrifice his own soul to protect his son from a perilous fate. However, the cosmic wheels spin in unpredictable ways. His selfless act, steeped in paternal love, unexpectedly earns him a ticket to the 'uptown' - a euphemistic reference to Heaven, underscoring the movie's underlying message of redemption, love, and sacrifice. "The Heavenly Kid" is a celestial ride that intertwines the mortal and the ethereal, bound by the timeless bond of fatherhood.
