All previously 1987 THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, 25 Page 'Made in Heaven9 stays earthbound By LINDA DEUTSCH Assocciated Press Writer. Let's agree on one thing: The most potent fantasy of all time concerns the world that awaits after death. It has inspired books, movies, plays, TV series and quite a few and so convoluted that its focus is lost by the final frames. Cute is the word for it. And cute can be the kiss of death at the box office. We can't help but remember that a few seasons back, Warren Beatty's "Heaven Can Wait" did it so much better. Perhaps the one reason to see "Made in Heaven" is the endearing, inventive performance of Timothy Hutton, whose dual roles as Mike Shea and Elmo Barnett (in two different lives) gives him a chance to exhibit a comedic flair we haven't seen before. We first meet Hutton in the 1950s as Mike Shea, a hard eled in clay, Dec. 18, 1987.

The question is do we need another lighthearted romp about heaven? The answer is probably no, unless there's a new, insightful view of the subject. "Made in Heaven," director Alan Rudolph's whimsical view of the hearafter, doesn't break any such new ground.

Heading west to California, he meets an untimely, heroic death and winds up you guessed it in heaven. There to greet him is his aunt Lisa, an engaging portrayal by Maureen Stapleton, who is busy painting landscapes, a talent she never had on earth. She introduces him to Emmett, the man who runs things up there, and eventually Hutton meets and falls in love with Kelly McGillis, portraying Annie Packert, a girl who is different than the other heavshe was born in enly bodies heaven. With this disclosure the plotting gets sticky. There is a limit to suspension of disbelief, after all. We soon learn that Annie is being sent back to Earth as Ally Chandler, the privileged daughter of a toy manufacturer. Hutton, meanwhile, is reborn as Elmo Barnett, a son of farmers. Before he leaves heaven, Hutton is told he will have 30 years to .find his true love again, or never find her at all. dirt-po- or McGillis looks lovely,' tut her performance is lackluster and without energy.
