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.

Good concept, poorly executed.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Blistering performances.
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.
I bought this movie for one pound not expecting much. Though in the end I really enjoyed it along with two other friends. We laughed and cried. Emily Mae Young is a superb actress shame we don't see her any more, to think what she would have been capable of at 18!!!! The adults actors had a wonderful chemistry with her, which is so often missed in larger budget films, and my heart truly warmed to Harrison's plight with gaining custody towards the end. I feel the movie ended in a whole hearted and interesting way, which can be seen in varying movies such as 'Pearl Harbour' and 'You've got mail' (this film is nothing like these in context). Which thus makes for a truly heartfelt movie. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants their hearts warmed!
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.
This is a great movie that the whole family can watch and enjoy together. There is something for everyone. Romance and drama for the older people, while the kids are amused by the antics and mischief of a 6 year old girl.The acting is amazing. Emily Mae Young is outstanding, as she steals the show away from the adults with ease. The adults (Dean Winters and Yasmine Bleeth) provide performances which make this movie very well rounded. In my opinion, this is a movie that is great for a day with the family.
