``Life Less Ordinary'' is from the team that gave us ``Shallow Grave'' and ``Trainspotting,'' so maybe it's a penance that their characters this time are angels and lovers, rather than body snatchers and druggies. See, ma? We're good lads at heart.
The film expends enormous energy to tell a story that is tedious and contrived. It begins in heaven's police station, where Chief Gabriel (acting on orders from the top) dispatches two angels to earth to engineer a romance. It appears that God is displeased by the divorce rate.
