Answer 1

Down to Earth (2001)

It seems everyone is trying to get into heaven; at least those whose time is up. For Lance Barton, a struggling comedian and bicycle messenger, it's the last thing on his mind. His due date upstairs is 50 years away. In the meantime, he's got big dreams to pursue on Earth, such as landing a slot at the final Amateur Night Contest at the famed Apollo Theatre. Lance's has one little problem though - he ain't that funny. Thanks to an over-cautious emissary from heaven, Mr. Keyes (Eugene Levy), he's going to get hit (literally) with a much bigger problem. Showing that even God has difficulty finding good help these days, the inept minion mistakenly plucks Lance from a traffic accident - before it takes place. Transporting him to the Pearly Gates, or more accurately, the velvet roped-lines of the hottest club around, the error is finally addressed by Mr. King (Chazz Palminteri), the streetwise, no-nonsense head angel who manages the place from his plush windowed office. Since returning to his own body on Earth is impossible, the urban dwelling Lance reluctantly agrees to a normally unthinkable proposal. He'll occupy the body of a wealthy old white mogul, Charles Wellington, until a more suitable body can be found. Strangely enough, in a Park Avenue penthouse, servants and butlers become his new homeys as Lance works on his streetwise comedy routine for the big Apollo showdown. Living in the body of a callous old white man would be bizarre enough for Lance without falling in love with Sontee (Regina King), the beautiful woman publicly battling Wellington's company at the same time. And if that wasn't enough, he's got to deal with the love affair between Wellington's wife (Jennifer Coolidge) and his personal assistant (Greg Germann), and their plot to have him killed. Can reincarnation lead to self discovery, true love and a better stand up routine? Lance Barton is about to find out

Answer 2

Yes it was "Down to Earth" starring Chris Rock, Eugene Levy, Wanda Sykes and Chazz Palminteri. Sort of a "remake" of the 1978 movie "Heaven Can Wait" starring Warren Beatty. The difference is the lead character who died was not a comedian. He was a professional football quarterback. Plot was the same though: a guy died out of schedule (some angel screwed up), was sent back to earth only to find his body was no longer "available". He was forced to live another person's life, in the process nailing the person's wife and her lover who conspired to kill him, finding his one true love and accomplishing his life-long dream.

Answer 3

Yes, it was Down to Earth, and it's funny you're mentioning it because I was just watching it on television a day or two ago. You're remembering details wrong, though: Chris Rock's character did not kill the old millionaire, the old guy's wife and her boyfriend did that. And he got to come back not because someone thought he didn't deserve to die but because the angel made a mistake and took him way too early.

Answer 4

THe film is called Down to Earth. and stars Chris Rock (as the black guy) and Brian Rhodes (as the white guy whos body he inhabits)

Answer 5

Down to earth
