Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
ShelbyTMItchell No if people are expecting to see Charlie's Angels as it used to star Kate Jackson. Then you are dead wrong. She plays "normal" mom Amanda King, divorced and looking for a job. And with two boys and a nagging mother to defend with.Lee Stetson aka Scarecrow as the handsome and sometimes arrogant spy. Wants Amanda to give a package to a man in a red hat but she can't complete the task without knowing who the person in the red hat is and due to that. Stetson must have her complete it.They do and gets her involved with the so-called Agency either FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. But later, after being annoyed by a rookie or a normal person.But then they make a good team. And that they begin to really become good friends and then marry in the fourth and final season.Very funny and really with action and great acting!
joyousfive Sorry, this is the right review. Scarecrow is a great show and I'm so glad to see it out on DVD.I love the intrigue and the love story between the two main characters. I'm about to watch the 1st season and I'm looking forward to seeing Bruce & Kate in this show again.I just purchased, the second season and I'm waiting for S3 & S4 to come out.Bruce is one of my all time favourites, after Jimmy Stewart.Just waiting for the series he was first in to come out on DVD. "How the West was Won" with James Arness & Bruce in it on DVD and I'll be really happy.
mrwiseman-1 One of the best "fish-out-of-water" series ever filmed. Amanda King is an ordinary Arlington, Virginia housewife. Divorced for a year, dating a weatherman, living in her house with her boys and mother, she seems to be ...normal. However, while at train station, a mysterious man gives her a package and tells her to hand it "to the man in the red hat." Moments later he is chased down by some unsavory characters. It isn't long before Amanda King finds the man she trusted is Lee Stetson, spy. Soon, she finds her self drawn into his work, and darn if she isn't a natural! Only she has a problem; her family cannot know what she does for a living. So "normal" Amanda King becomes a secret spy, and is partnered with dashing lady's man, Lee Stetson. Along the way Lee and Amanda become quite a team...and mix in a little romance.This series is to me one of the best, and most satisfying, romantic series to ever be on TV. Unlike other 80s...(and shows today) the characters avoided the "back and forth" romance where the writers would make you frustrated by plots intentionally keeping the leads apart. Instead on Scarecrow and Mrs. King, the relationship between Lee and Amanda, "naturally" evolved from reluctant co-workers, to friends, partners, lovers, and married couple. It is a shame this series did not get a proper ending. Over 23 years later Scarecrow and Mrs.King is still my favorite show.
PTAG46 I used to watch Scarecrow and Mrs. King when I was a little girl and I was immediately drawn to it and still love it to this day. It is a terrific show and very entertaining.It is with Kate Jackson as Amanda King a divorced mother of two who gets a package from a total stranger and her life is never the same as it draws her into a very secretive business as she becomes a part time spy and Bruce Boxleitner as Lee Stetson the very dashing stranger who hands her the package who works for the government as a spy.They have to team up together.Amanda and Lee start off not knowing what to think of each other, they build a close friendship that eventually turns into an everlasting love.Unfortunately, the show is cut short because Kate Jackson became too ill to act on it anymore so the show never had a ending to it.
