Undercover Angel Trailers

With his landlord breathing down his neck and his writing career stagnant, the last thing Harrison Tyler (Dean Winters) needs is a kid hanging around. But he's in for a surprise when his ex-girlfriend (Lorraine Ansell) leaves her precocious 6-year-old (Emily Mae Young) in his care for a few weeks. It turns out the girl possesses remarkable matchmaking skills, and soon Tyler's professional and romantic fortunes begin to turn around.

The two negative reviews (out of 18 currently posted here) aren't entirely wrong; they raise a handful of legitimate complaints. However, the lead characters and their multi-faceted relationships were engrossing enough to keep me interested all the way through. I started watching this because hey, Yasmine Bleeth! But she's almost peripheral here; Dean Winters' character and of course Absurdly Cute Kid both have a lot of screen time, and they deserve it. While it's not a perfect movie, I found it surprisingly absorbing and enjoyable. Overlook the flaws and see if you don't agree that there is something pretty good here.

Yasmine Bleeth is one of the most strikingly beautiful actresses of the last 20 years, and could easily be said to have stolen this movie -- except for the presence of the real scene stealer, Emily Mae Young.Emily Mae is an astonishing find, a very young actress -- age approximately 8 when this movie was made, but playing age 6 -- who had screen presence of someone at least 20 years older.Sad to say, she seems to have done very little since "Undercover Angel."The story is slight, but touching, and doesn't always flow smoothly, but the talent of the two female leads overcomes any possible flaws.Actually nearly all the performers are capable and very watchable, but, as light as it is, "Undercover Angel" is worth watching again and again just to see Yasmine Bleeth and Emily Mae Young, who I hope will come back to show biz.

Just finished watching this movie. I was surprised that there were quite less reviews for this. So I thought I will add one. You fall in love with Emily from her first frame.She is sure to make you smile. Movie did turn a little predictable towards the end. But thats totally forgivable considering all the minutes before. Well played by Dean Winters and Yasmine Bleeth too. Supercute Emily steals the show in every frame.It isn't just her looks, it is her acting mainly..even her little expressions can make you smile..It is not one of those annoying movies were kids play adult. I recommend this movie to all who wants to smile watching a sweet movie.

Real Family movie that the entire family can enjoy. Sadly it this is extremely rare now a days. I was skeptical when looking at the tagline of "It was the love of a lifetime, and it took a child to see it." After watching it the tagline does not really convey the movie very well. While there is some good romance in the movie the movie itself does convey the complexity of relationships and how people who are too arrogant, selfish, greedy, prideful or etc. to recognize the truth can really wreck not just their lives but the lives of their children. This movie contains no politically warped agendas, no profanity, no nudity, no sex and no violence. Best thing that we've seen in years. Good plot, good acting, good actors, good directing, good producing and good writing.
