When amateur comedian Lance (Chris Rock) finds himself at heaven's door, he is convinced that there has been a mistake. Miraculously, he is right. He is given another chance -- but in another body. Ironically, Lance ultimately discovers his true self, falls in love and improves his comedy act in the process

Critics' reviews
- "A little too shipshape, too eager to please, not quite as anarchic as the best comedies."
- "When Rock finds his authentic swing as an actor as well as a comedian, he'll be, like, a movie god."
- "What Rock fans will sorely miss in 'Down to Earth' is the earthiness and outrageous hilarity of his stand-up act."
- "It's Rock's first venture into leading-man territory, and the material is carefully tailored to his measurements. He's fully believable as a standup comic."
- "It's slight but likable, and diverting enough as light entertainment."
- "This remake is shorter than its predecessors, a welcome earthly reward"
