This was a heart-warming story of a teen with a deformed face. The story chronicles his life at school, and with his biker mom and her friends.
The language in here and rough edge with Cher playing the mom all turned me off, even though the mom was soft inside. Sorry, but I don''t like hard women and Cher never appealed to me. Speaking of tough people, the obvious attempt at the making the Hell's Angels-type bikers as good-hearted softies were a little too much. Come on! It's almost as laughable as how Hollywood always portrays hookers as sweet, beautiful ladies. There are some really good-hearted Hells Angels, I suspect, but not as much as in here.
Eric Stoltz is great as the kid with the lionesque face. There are many tender moments and difficult ones to watch as people either are wonderful or cruel (school kids) to Roy 'Rocky' Dennis (Stoltz).
