Undercover Angel

I was babysitting my younger cousin when I saw this film. When I first got a glance at it I thought my after noon would be filled with cutsie stuff. But it turned out this film was great! And I will admit that it was cute. Emily Mae Young was wonderful! I never expected her to get this far! Yasmine Bleeth and Dean Winters was great too!

I have to admit that the main reason I rented this movie was to see Dean Winters in something other than HBO's Oz and his performance here really surprised me. He usually plays the tough guy, but in Undercover Angel he was finally able to explore a much softer side. Although Emily Mae Young stole the movie. She is so adorable and was such a delight to watch. At times the plot seemed a little rushed, but taking into consideration that this was a low budget independent film, then that can be over looked. A treat to watch with your entire family.

We bumped into this on a Saturday night, on Lifetime Movie Network. In an odd role-switch, I wanted to keep watching, not my wife, who thought to "spare me the agony" of another Lifetime movie. But I was drawn to the father-daughter relationship, and even if the mom is portrayed too unsympathetically, it is an easy going move that is, indeed, appropriate for the whole family. Even Dad!

I came across this movie by accident while channel surfing and was immediately smitten by Emily Mae Young. Emily plays 6 yr old Jenny who develops a heartwarming relationship with Harrison - a friend of her mother's - who is babysitting while Mom is travelling in Canada. This film is charming and funny - surprisingly delightful. Wholesome entertainment for the whole family.

Undercover Angel is a great little family movie. It's been reviewed in most film and DVD books and has received 4 and 5 stars out of 5. The only person who wouldn't like this is someone who hates children. Obviously, one person from Ontario who reviewed this movie is a Scrooge. See this movie, it's been on Showtime and Lifetime and Blockbuster sometimes has it. My family loves this movie. It's Mrs. Doubtfire meets Sleepless in Seattle. Yasmine Bleeth's best performance. Emily Mae Young is so cute -- and Dean Winters is an excellent leading man. I think he's on one of the main crime shows right now, but I can't remember the name of it. And of course, James Earl Jones -- the voice of Darth Vader, plays a Canadian Judge.
