Who stars in A Life Less Ordinary?
Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz lead the 1997 film as the kidnapper and his captive, while Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo play the two angels assigned to intervene. The mix of leads makes it an odd-couple crime comedy with a supernatural twist.

It is the film Danny Boyle made immediately after Trainspotting (1996), reteaming him with screenwriter John Hodge and star Ewan McGregor. Where Trainspotting was a critical and commercial phenomenon, this 1997 follow-up disappointed at the box office.
What do the angels do in A Life Less Ordinary?
Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo play celestial beings ordered to make the kidnapped woman and her captor fall in love with each other, with their own standing in heaven at stake if they fail. Their increasingly aggressive matchmaking drives much of the film's dark comedy.
Who sings the A Life Less Ordinary theme song?
The British band Ash recorded the song 'A Life Less Ordinary' for the film's soundtrack. The soundtrack's alt-rock lineup reflected the post-Trainspotting moment when Boyle's projects came with heavily promoted music tie-ins.
