An oddity as awkward as its title, "Angels With Angles" is writer-director-star Scott Edmund Lane's would-be valentine to old-school showbiz comics, wrapped in a silly adventure-romance involving Cuban cigars and, yes, Fidel Castro. The film contains the last screen performances of Frank Gorshin, who died in May, and Rodney Dangerfield, who acquits himself well in a brief turn as God, an even-tempered deity with a fondness for hot baths. With an audience limited to those wanting to catch the impressionist's final work -- or eager for cameo glimpses of Jerry Mathers, Adam West (whom Gorshin's Riddler taunted on "Batman"), Dwayne Hickman, Soupy Sales and Frank Stallone (as Elvis) -- "Angels" is not primed for heavenly boxoffice during its weeklong run, which began Dec. 16.
