A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
I love this movie I will like to buy the movie do you know if I can
Yes it's a TV-Movie with very sentimental Value.Michael Landon Does another fine faithful role.But Most especially in this one of which as The Narrator in the Prologue to this film even said this is Michael Landon's last gift to us.Yes and suitably because it's entitled "Us."Also Now Knowing that it Was a Pilot to a TV-Series with the same name and just as another reviewer said Just when Michael Landon thought that he was relieved of his cancer and wanted to do a Pilot to serve as a start to a new TV-Series.he then suddenly went and as it would turn out it would be his last gift to us.Also still proving how he was just as faithful in Real Life as he was in many of his roles.Now onward to this TV-movie it's about a man named Jeff Hayes of whom served time in Jail for a Murder that he didn't commit but because of his faith both made the best of it while in jail and like when he did his wait lifting as well as upon release has a forgiving and good attitude to just move on.Faithfully,Stephen "Steve" G.

I love this movie & put it up there as one of my top 10 movies of all time! I can relate to this film on a deep emotional level having experienced having a wonderful loving father who died way too soon when I was only 21 years old. Michael Landon wrote, produced & starred in this film as his final gift to us. A very special film!There are several scenes in the movie which touch me deeply. One of which when Michael Landon is having an argument with his father over Michael Landon "Jeff Hayes" son. He tells his father the following > " When I was in prison I used to dream about being a father. I used to read books about raising kids & from year # 1 on how you get to hold them & look at them & how quick they get to know you & the terrible 2's, & the potty training, & their first days in school, about the joys & the fears. I used to lye in my bunk at night trying to get myself to dream I was doing those things with my kid, teaching him how to swim & throw a ball, & you know what? In my dream my kid loved me!"
I found this to be a very pleasant film and it's a shame the TV series that this was the pilot for was never made. Michael Landon plays Jeff who has served 18 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. He is then released and the movie shows how he deals with returning to his wife and son who thinks he's dead and his father who thought he was guilty. The performances are all very good and very believable. Michael Landon did some great stuff and it's a terrible shame he passed away so early. It's also a shame that there isn't anyone else like him today. He was a very unique person and a great role model. He always had an answer to peoples problems, he stuck up for himself and others verbally and physically if necessary and he was never afraid to show his emotions. I'm sure Michael Landon will be remembered for a very long time to come.
