Despite Cher (who is excellent in this) getting top billing, this is Winona Ryder's movie and she carries it with ease…

One of Cher's greatest movies. Winona is great in it. Mrs. Flax is a free spirit. Charlotte is so uptight. I'd be too w/ a mother like that…

A movie showing Cher, Winona and Christina at their best. A bit cliche and a bit sentimental but over all a great movie that stands the test of time…
