Un ange sur ma route

I really enjoyed this movie. Apart from the very brief nude sequence it was a quality film. I enjoyed seeing Tom Selleck in something different and I agree with the other comment in here that Rebekah Johnson should have gotten more roles. She was great. The story was believable, and I was touched at Tom Selleck's playing of his part. Quite a few sequences were also not unrealistic in the situation of the older man and a young girl combination; and I can't help feeling the movie would have had a more family rating without the very small nude scene I mentioned earlier. Good to see some known faces in the movie apart from Tom Selleck as well. I recommend this movie to anyone who gets the opportunity to view it. Maybe one day it might be available in DVD, that would be great also.

I was very moved by this movie as I could really relate with Tom Selleck's character. It was very true to life to me as I have been in a similar situation caring so much for a younger girl who was also a best friend and having everyone misunderstand the relationship as the JoBeth Williams character (Rose) and others did in the movie. I really felt sorry for Joe and Ruby Jean knowing how it feels to have people with overimaginations and dirty minds try to turn a wonderful relationship into something that it isn't. The movie hit home and brought me to tears and I very rarely have a movie do that.

One of the "best" television movies made by Tom Selleck (just my opinion), that I've had the chance to see. The way Mr. Selleck and Ms. Johnson interacted in the film, gave me quite a bit of 'food for thought', in the way we (the young and old) treat each other, and the things we can learn from each other. Was interesting to find out that it was based on actual incidents that happened to the writer, who died right after the film was completed. Think he would have been proud of how it turned out. Also, just thought Mr. Kevin Lutton would like to know that unfortunately the powers that be in Hollywood, have still not recognized Ms. Johnson's (actress' name is Rebekah Johnson)talents. She only made one other film (don't know if there's anything else in the works at this time.) that I'm aware of. Hope to see her in more in the near future. Jean

OK - ya got Tom Selleck playing Tom Selleck playing the Wagnerian cowboy - and then ya got Jo Beth Williams playing Jo Beth Williams playing the retired ho with the heart of gold, and then ya got new-comer Rebekah Johnson playing the wise-cracking "Tatum O'Neil-alike" third wheel.

Ok, so what's weird vibe about that - over and above just odd - well, it's because the Rebekah Johnson character appears to be about 16 years old and the Tom Selleck character is a 50 something drunk drifter who picks up the 16 old hitch hiking and takes her on as his dusty road-traveling companion - but, oh no, there's no "lolita" vibe there, right? Wrong, there is, it's creepy.

Well, that's the problem with this one - the premise is way hinkcy and no amount of Tom Selleck mustache charm or Rebekah Johnson quirky wise-cracking, or Jo Beth Williams in jeans that were apparently painted on her changes what is basically a story about a Mann Act violation.

So, one word summary - icky.

Now you know. He's currently selling reverse mortgages and claiming it's not his first. And here's the proof.
