• Plot: Cher is 'magical [and] electric' ('The Hollywood Reporter'), Winona Ryder 'enchanting and funny' ('The New York Times') and Christina Ricci 'adorable and engaging' ('Variety') in this hilarious and heartwarming portrait of a 1960's single-parent family trying to adjust to each other's growing independence.; ; Charlotte (Ryder) is an adolescent girl torn between her blossoming passions for a handsome caretaker (Michael Schoeffling)…and her desire to be a nun (a tough calling for a girl who's Jewish). Complicating her already precarious teen angst is a little sister (Ricci), a determined would-be swimmer she affectionately calls 'fishhead', and their mother (Cher), a non-traditional, sexy, flamboyant woman who relocates them to a new town every time she causes a hint of scandal - which is often. But even as their personal styles clash, these three incredibly different individuals begins to see that nothing - not even a life-threatening tragedy - can tear apart the bonds of family.
