A nice movie to watch as we ready for the holidays. Gary Sinise gave a great performance. The location was beautiful and fit in with the story well. I hope to add this one to the movies I watch every year at this time.

If you need our heart lifting then watch this film!! All cast members excel in playing simple human roles. There's nothing complicated or gimicky about this film, it just touches your heart and gives the message that there is always hope.

Joley Richardson, Gary Sinise and Jordy Benattar play their roles perfectly. I've read comments about Sinise being wooden but surely that's the point, his character is supposed to be cold and straight out of the executive machine. I think he does well to portray a man whose heart warms to what exists outside of the career ladder.

Highly recommended for all those romantics out there...

I watched Fallen Angel today this was the second time I've seen it and it's a heartwarming Christmas tale about a man who comes home and his life changes forever. Gary Sinise, delivered another top notch performance as done in his other films such as Apollo 13, Forrest Gump and many more Joely Richardson also gave a touching performance as her young co star Jordy Benattar who shined as the young blind girl.

Terry McQuinn (Sinise) a successful businessman finds himself returning to his hometown of Maine after his father dies staying only long enough to clear out his home and settle private affairs. As a child Terry (Brockman) and his dad didn't spend much time together one day he meets the Wentworth family including their four year old daughter Katherine (Simpkins) after a Christmas visit to the hospital one night there's a car accident both a mother and daughter are killed and Katherine's father Charles (Roberts) suddenly disappears leaving his daughter and Terry alone.

Fast forward to nearly 30 years later and Terry is reunited with Katherine (Richardson) whose also spending Christmas at a cottage with her daughter Olivia (Benattar). She has no recollection of meeting Terry as a child or the accident, while going through his old home something inside him begins to stir and discovers that Katherine's uncle Warren (Pinsent) an old friend of his father's knows where her father (Nichols) has been for all these years.

Slowly Terry finds himself falling in love her while trying to keep the secret of her father quiet, eventually the truth comes out leaving Katherine shocked and upset. He heads back to the city but the love in his heart is so strong that he goes back home for good to Katherine and there's a happy ending.

My favorite scene is when she's on the phone telling Terry she loves him and suddenly he's standing there and they run into each other's arms and begin kissing.

this is a definite must see movie 9/10
