Does he love me, I wanna know. How can I tell if he loves me ssoo..."
Oops, you caught me at an awkward moment. Let me put away my hairbrush, and get on with the review.
Yes, that song is from 'this' movie, and to be honest it's the most memorable bit.
I mean, it's not to say the film is bad or anything... you have Cher being the undisputed Sass Queen who can't seem to stay in one place for long, and a young Christina Ricci as her irrepressible cute-as-a-button youngest daughter who's also a natural swimming prodigy.
But then you have the other daughter Winona Ryder in a very bi-polar role (before the term was even coined) as a troubled teen. She has the hots for a local hunk in his mid-twenties, and let's just say her constant mood swings and pretentious narration wear on the nerves after a while.
Bob Hoskins is also on hand to lend affable support as the man who might actually at last convince Cher to settle down, however as nice as he is here, his performance doesn't leave much of an impression.
So basically, what we're left with in the end is the occasional hilarious one-liner from our leading lady, a few dramatic spots where you can probably guess the outcome, a somewhat dubious relationship between a grown man and a teenage girl (but as the movie set in the 60's, they think it's passable I suppose) and that great soundtrack I mentioned before.
I know what my main takeover will be out of those. Now, back to the karaoke... 6/10
