sweet and funny love story

Before there was Continental Divide, there was The High Country. Both the underrated Timothy Bottoms and Linda Purl are exceptional as a convict and a "handicapped" girl who flee from civilization to the mountains. I'm a sucker for movies that focus on just the two people falling in love - and it is even better when they are isolated. A truly touching love story. Not at all sentimental. No Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth's here, Ladies and Gents.

Awful love story.

An escaped convict and a learning disabled woman meet under the most outrageous of circumstances. They go to a cabin in the woods and "play house". He yells at her a lot and holds a knife to her throat. Aww...how touching.

The real excitement comes when they grab some camping gear and hike and hike and hike until finally...they hike some more. They do their best to bore the viewer into a coma. It works. I won't ruin the dull ending for you just in case you have a desire to torture yourself by watching this film. 1/10

opposites attract

Weed dealer Jim (Timothy Bottoms) is in custody. He survives the car crash and goes on the run. Kathy (Linda Purl) is a sweet mentally-challenged girl living alone in the wilderness. She has lived in the cabin on and off since childhood with the support of her rich father. Kathy treats the sickly injured Jim. He's a hardened criminal with a troubled childhood. Even after he tries to rape her, she offers to guide him up to the remote High Country.

Linda Purl is adorable although her mental handicap seems a little manufactured. She seems to be trying to play autistic. Jim is an another matter. The rape attempt is probably too much. He's too hard. I understand that it's the attraction of opposites. He still needs to show more heart at the start. I love the scenery. The romance is classic feel-good and very melodramatic.

A very heart touching movie

A movie that i checked out on video.It is a little low budget,but it is a heart warming movie that really reaches you.Timothy Bottoms is casted great as a con on the run from the law.And Linda Purl is a stand out as a person with learning problems who can't read.This is a movie that you should not miss.If you have a chance don't pass it up on video..

Well done "feel good" movie.

This film succeeds very well as a somewhat corny "feel good" movie. Purl is particularly good in an understated way. If you are at all into "feel good" movies this one will definitely leave you with that warm fuzzy feeling.
