her alibi

this movie is pretty lame, even for an 80's movie. the set up is that tom selleck is a crime writer who has run out of ideas. he decides to get some inspiration by going to the court house and see whats shaking. he runs into a woman who is in a bit of a bind, legally. selleck offers to be her alibi so she can get off. she takes him up on the offer and goes back with him to his house. turns out she isnt quite as innocent as he thought, and the bad guys follow them back to the house and cause a bit of trouble. the whole thing is fairly lame, but doggonnit, i really liked it! why? two simple words: tom selleck! i dont know what it is about that guy, but i would enjoy him in just about anything! no matter what is going on, he makes it so much better. he's kind of like richard dean anderson (macguyver, if you didnt know) in that there is just something inherently magnetic about him. do i have a little bit of a man crush on him? why yes, i certainly do, but who can blame me? i would have to say that the movie itself gets one star, but tom selleck gets five stars. that leaves us with an average of 3 stars. take that for what its worth, i guess.
