Synopsis:
Comedian
Chris
Rock
updates
1978's
HEAVEN
CAN
WAIT
with
a
decidedly
modern
flair
in
this
romantic
comedy.
Lance
Barton
(Rock)
is
a
struggling
comedian
whose
dream
is
to
perform
at
New
York
City's
legendary
Apollo
Theater
before
it
closes
its
doors
forever.
One
night,
while
riding
his
bike,
Lance
is
crushed
by
an
enormous
truck.
Before
he
can
come
to
terms
with
what
has
happened,
he
is
strolling
through
Heaven,
talking
to
the
smooth
Mr.
King
(Chazz
Palminteri)
and
the
bumbling
Keyes
(Eugene
Levy),
the
angel
who
prematurely
snatched
Lance
away
from
Earth.
Mr.
King
agrees
to
make
up
for
this
mistake
by
returning
Lance
to
New
York,
only
instead
of
being
a
black
bike
messenger,
Lance
is
now
Mr.
Wellington,
a
powerful
white
businessman
who
just
so
happens
to
be
the
enemy
of
Sontee
(Regina
King),
the
woman
he
has
become
infatuated
with.
Wooing
Sontee
with
a
new
commitment
to
using
Mr.
Wellington's
money
philanthropically,
Lance
embarks
on
a
mission
to
perform
at
the
Apollo,
even
if
he
doesn’t
seem
to
fit
the
mold.
But
just
when
everything
begins
to
fall
into
place,
Mr.
King
returns
to
throw
another
glitch
into
Lance's
plans.
Coasting
along
on
the
charm
of
Rock
and
King,
DOWN
TO
EARTH
is
a
charming
story
about
the
power
of
fate,
set
to
a
bouncing
hip-hop
soundtrack.
