      Maybe you can't stand Cher so you avoided this movie -- well, that's too bad because you really missed something. I fell in love with this movie very quickly and my love of it has really endured.
     This is the quirky little flick with a big heart. The quirks are what it make it hysterically funny and the big heart is what makes you walk away smiling. Cher is better in this movie than in any other movie she's over done. Remember, she took home the Oscar for playing someone that the world didn't think she could portray. But Cher alone does not make this movie -- there are some fantastic characters here. In particular, Olympia Dukakis as her mother and Vincent Gardenia as her father make this one of the most beautifully acted and funny pictures of all time.
