Summary: comedy/drama
Comment: this was a movie i saw along time ago and found on amazon that i liked very much.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This one hit home.
Comment: I saw this movie for the first time in 1996 - about a week before my birthday. I was trying to come to grips with several personal issues at once myself: Getting older, changing jobs, past relationships, alcoholism and loneliness. Selleck's character, though older than me, was all too familiar. His performance, as well as the entire cast, brought the story to life in an honest, believable way. The story goes to show that it's okay to have faults. It's also important to recognize who your real friends are and accept their help, too. Lastly, you cannot judge a person by their appearance, either. As Ruby Jean observes, "You must be somebody you don't look like." I'm not ashamed to say this movie brings this biker to tears every time I watch it. (Usually on my birthday.)

Summary: A touching movie - a slice of life
Comment: One of Selleck's great roles and that young girl played a touching and wonderful role as well. She touched my heart, as well as the Joe's girlfriend (another outstanding actress). Excellent through and through and even had an old cowboy (whose name escapes me) who tells Tom the truth about his rodeoing and life. Outstanding. Not many movies touch this "oldie but goodie" (me) but this one sure did. It struck a cord and I won't forgot it. It was one of those movies I had to IMMEDIATELY search for in hopes of buying it (at this price, no way). Five + stars and thanks to Lifetime TV for putting it on.

Summary: Leonard, this movie is MUCH more than just a 'buddy picture'
Comment: And 'offbeat'?? Where did he get that? This film is a classic. Tom Selleck portrays Joe Wade as a real person. He's heroic at times, but he's not immune to the human condition of self-doubt and regrets from the past. Rebekah Johnson as Ruby Jean Babcock perfectly balances vunerability with modern-day savvy about the world around her. Without unnecessary lewdness, the movie depicts a beautiful love story. Despite what others see when they look at them, Ruby Jean and Joe connect. The movie was heartwarming to watch and I am looking forward to it being released on DVD as I will certainly buy it!

Summary: So Close and yet So Far Away
Comment: I can't believe this movie hasn't been shown any more than it has. It really touched my heart. I guess it hasn't been shown because you have a young black girl and an aging white man. I don't know if prejudice will ever go away and that's really sad. This was a really good movie because it was so real. How many times do you see people that want to be together, but they don't because of other people and what might be said. This movie really needs to be shown more so people can see how it hurts not to be with someone you love.
